  1. Looks nice but somehow I like the natural wood finish better, especially if it is made out of nice wood like cherry or oak.

  2. Preparation is the most important step in the process of painting your cabinets, and it is important to make positive that all of the surfaces you are going to paint are free of all grease, grime, food residue and whatever else may be stuck to them.

  4. Can you tell me the names of the paint colors in pictures 5 & 6? I'm considering painting my cabinets grey, but am having trouble narrowing down a shade. One of your pictures look like a green/grey and the other a charcoal grey. I like them both! Thanks

  5. Magnificent pics. I like the idea. I will also paint my Kitchen Cabinets Hamilton, due to the fact that they seems so rusty.

  6. One of the most important thing to remember while painting cabinets and furniture is the preparatory stage and the primer stage. If you plan on painting your cabinets as their own types of projects to do is make sure that you sand the additional lead to a very smooth surface, and then try to apply the paint.
