The best part of this video is the realism. I mean, why bother emptying the cabinets when you can leave everything in them!.That’s my style!!

[@rainpie4100]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@spavliskojr]

Thats not lazy thats energy efficient!

[@maddog5814]

with enough tape and plastic you can just cover the whole thing

[@melissafigueroa4343]

Yes it is, however I, planning to paint the inside too so it looks even more professional 😍

[@loveLeeAnne99]

Makes sense to me!

[@chocohellokitty]

Beautiful job!! I’m now feeling more confident and less scared to paint my cabinets throughout my house!! Thanks 😊

[@ninalentner3814]

Are you happy with your cabinets a year later?

[@WeSuckAtGames2]

​@@ninalentner3814does the paint fade after a year?

[@narebear3395]

Literally the best !! Walked me through each step and didn’t over talk!! 👍🏼

[@ItsMe_only93]

Thank you so much for this simple video. I can't even tell myself how many difficult DIY paints videos I've seen where I had to spend so much money for the equipment. This is a lifesaver.

[@YodiRoberts]

Looks like a brand new kitchen~ it was a lot of work but if you have the patience it's worth the outcome. I love the neutral color as well.

[@Brian_______]

You did an amazing job and an even better job at explaining step-by-step procedures!

[@freesimorgh]

Thank you for showing a way to paint without having to sand. The sanding is the hardest part! I don't want to sand so either I have to use reclaimed paint or chalk paint but reclaim has texture and chalk doesn't last as long. So I'm glad you showed a way to prime with a quality primer so I don't have to sand anymore!

[@tvue2322]

She literally sanded before painting

[@somphith11]

Hallelujah 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you! An informational video that cuts the crap and straight to the point! I don’t need to know what you did the night before with your friends or you that played frisbee with your dog at the park. I ain’t got all day.

[@jamesdavenport7933]

lol

[@naomiemoore5725]

Just beautiful! Exactly what my kitchen needs.

[@v.r.2834]

Great job! It looks wonderful, the color is fantastic and very actual . As a woman , I admire you, I couldn’t do it ❤️

[@rosemarykullman4614]

What a transformation. This makes me want to paint my kitchen cabinets right now.

[@thankyou4534]

I love the video. Very useful for sure. I personally don’t like the distressed look on the cabinets, but overall the finished look was nice.

[@Brandonbikes]

Yea it looks chipped lol

[@southernbelledebbie7705]

We're remodeling our kitchen now and I'm painting our new cabinets the cream and mocha glaze with oil bronzed hardware. I husband is painting the walls now and we are so excited to finish and see our hard work pay off. ❤

[@blondego56]

Im inspired yet overwhelmed just watching this... 💔

[@CraftyCassie6910]

That makeover cake out so nice! I love oak cabinets and personally hate while cabinets. This is a happy medium. The cabinets look great with the black countertops. ❤️

[@shmoonuf2566]

WOW! I’m astonished at how much better it looks, it’s gorgeous! Great Job!

[@OreoTime1]

It all looks marvelous. Thanks for the share.Cheers!

[@anamarcora523]

Thank you for this. I’ve been watching other videos and the idea of having to sand was getting to me so if I can just prime and color then that will be great. I have a small kitchen so not a lot of cabinets - I’m going to use this technique

[@fellinloveinmaui]

It's so pretty! As much as I want to paint my maple cabinets I don't dare. I'm thinking counter tops and backsplash with my new paint color will finish my kitchen just fine. ❤

[@intertubicular]

Very nice job. As a painter I appreciate your work. That was a big job doing all the cabinet boxes and both sides of the doors! Good for you. Looks so much better!

[@jamalliverpool4142]

So you can repaint cabinets without having to sand them? I thought sanding was an automatic thing when changing color.

[@erikaespinoza3949]

I love it!! That seems like alot of work but well worth it !!!!

[@sarahdoan6594]

Such a thorough tutorial for a beginner like me ty

[@judycasey1710]

Don't like the distressing! Loved the gray color!

[@cathyip8709]

Wow, you have done a great job and the colour is beautiful. So proud of you, keep it up. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@maryslocum9443]

I was thinking about doing this then I wandered into this site .. now I am definitely doing this thanks for all tips

[@MG-tc5wk]

It’s good to see all these kitchen cabinet makeovers since I have one to do soon!!

[@ThePhilandPam]

Really nice job, we’ve done something similar a couple of times but have to say you nailed it, thanks for sharing 👍

[@rsecosky]

Beautiful job,you didn't even remove the dishes and the food!Great job!

[@cristiancalle8530]

Thanks for sharing, I was thinking in replacing my cabinets, now anymore, thanks again.

[@tregibbs]

That looks REALLY great !

[@suegoetz1221]

i love how you tackled this. No one empties out their cabinets before painting. I am worried about skipping the sanding though.

[@susanwhitford1136]

what an amazing video. I have a small kitchen and am planning on painting the cupboard doors over the Christmas break. I love a challenge and there were lots of tips. Terrific!!

[@christinethieman9196]

Wow fantastic job, and I love the final product!!! The kitchen looks like it ought to be in a high dollar home reno magazine.

[@thefuture8173]

Lets not go that far, it looks much better than before but not high dollar looks.

[@pamt7740]

Never seen the sense in distressing paintwork. But, each to their own.

[@sarahholland2600]

Distressed wood farmhouse look is still v popular in the US. In the UK, not so much.😁

Omg I want to do this for my mom!! It’ll be such a fun project and even more fun to see her reaction. Maybe when she goes on vacation next year? Her cabinets are the same old school oak. Do you have a video on updating non-granite counter tops?
