I love the way your cabinets turned out. White allows you to change the decor however, whenever you want, it's not boring at all. 👍🏾

[@ThriftDiving]

I agree, Darnia! Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@gvi9037]

Nice job. The cabinets look great. And chosing white was a very good choice to lighten and brighten.Makes your countertops look like they belonged. Not a boring kitchen at all. It must feel wonderful and welcoming to walk into your new kitchen.

[@wonderberries]

White is classic. It will never go out of style. Great job!

[@ThriftDiving]

That's how I feel too! Thanks for watching!

[@overit16]

Your Kitchen looks absolutely amazing. It's a more clean and cozy look. You can't go wrong with white.

[@eponine318]

I love the white cabinets! One suggestion I would make is that what if you put a stand up freezer next to your fridge instead of another cabinet? Those are so useful and I love mine.

[@susanroberts]

I just had all new white shaker cupboards in my kitchen and I love it! It’s fresh and clean and who wouldn’t want that in your kitchen where you prep your food. 💝🥰🤗

[@kellyanne7225]

We redid our 1961 kitchen cabinets, and I stained them in the same mahogany color, but with bronze hardware. I liked it, but I was really wanting white a short time later, so we did it with our paint sprayer. The bronze hardware looked amazing with it too. We kept our darker counters, as I still liked them. Your neutral granite looks very pretty with your white cabinets! Now we have sold our house and we’re moving. I get to paint kitchen cabinets again-white! I’m thinking of using the Beyond Paint this time. Too many YT-ers are loving it! 🤔😁

[@mariacutrona1237]

I always love the walnut color cabinets more traditional, but moving around 3 x I LOVE WHITE it is more rich and classy no matter how you look at it !!

[@georgiakolster4143]

Love the white cabinets! We are wanting to paint ours white! They are now that standard golden oak. 😝

[@anne-sophiekuentz6875]

What a lovely transformation! It’s so bright and airy now!

[@juliacockroft8745]

The white cabinets are perfect with the countertops and flooring. Beautiful results.

[@eileentucker462]

I love the white cabinets! They are so bright and refreshing!

[@Mimi-ht6xr]

Yes 👏🏽 beautiful redo. The white color opens up your kitchen and brings in light. Beautiful job❤❤❤❤❤

[@lesliewalker4066]

Oh Lordy! The Wifey wants the Oak gone to White….. nice set up and DIY 👌🏽

[@chevyvantravel9735]

it looks awesome...i was feeling tired watching you work so hard but by the end i recovered and was happy to see the beautiful end results...😀 white is what i am going for because of the illumination effect, if you get tired of it then you can paint again in 5 years.

[@lindaowens2966]

I love the way it looks.

[@Tenebarum]

I love white cabinets. You did a great job on them. I just finished hanging my upper cabinet door today. White boxes and blue doors. They look really good.

[@Be.me1]

I think white cabinets are timeless. Thank you for your content. This was helpful. Thank you .

[@DanaConquersBoutique]

The kitchen looks amazing! I have an all white kitchen and it looks great since we sealed the cabinets well. Great job Serena 😊

[@charisedaniels1237]

You answered some questions that I had and some that I didn't know I had. We painted our cabinets white for the first time 26 years ago. I love the white but they are hard to keep clean. Your tips will help them look better next time we paint them. Your kitchen looks nice and much lighter!

[@mariamercy7317]

Wow Serena, your cabinets look gorgeous! White brightens up the space... I had beige stove and fridge which came with my house. I recently bought white ones. What a difference. Even a friend noticed how bright the kitchen looks... You are super! 👌

[@sharonarrendale8418]

I love what you have done in your kitchen! You are so talented.❤

[@QueenNanaEva]

Your cabinets look amazing! Kudos!

[@jamieejarrett1477]

Am I the only one that liked them better before 😩😩😩 I loved the expresso cabinets 😍

[@ThriftDiving]

No way! 😂 It was much too dark for my taste. Lol

[@missyouflowers2654]

White looks so cheap looking.

[@rayshelld791]

There are many ways to lighten a dark cabinet kitchen. Not to mention, if those cabinets faces where solid wood, oh lord. The cheapest cabinets you can buy are white particle board. Real wood grain will always trump a painted surface.

[@MarkVenables-b3z]

Beautiful job Serena.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you! 😊

[@flatcreek4665]

I love the white cabinets! Looks really good! You did a great job. I didn’t know you had a pod cast…will check it out.

[@therealJamieJoy]

Looks fresh and happy!! So glad you shared it with us. Make sure you show us how you do the tile!!

[@traceybradshaw]

It looks beautiful Serena - the room is so much lighter and brighter! We chose white cabinets when we updated our kitchen and it feels so fresh and clean. We still have a few finishing touches to go, but zero spare time to get them done right now. I think white is timeless - other trends come and go, but white cabinets have always been a classic.

[@deniseshort5905]

The white provides a nice bright look to the kitchen. Great job ❤

[@katehorrell8732]

LOVE white cabinets. I painted mine white yrs ago n I still love them

[@ThriftDiving]

Same! It's been a couple of months, but I am loving how much brighter it is!

[@veronicawhite398]

Fab job, Serena! I've been contemplating doing the same with my cabinets. 😊

[@marrodroc]

Beautiful! I like white cabinets. Your cabinets turned out great! Thank you for sharing👍🏼

[@ednapenner2673]

Look great!!! I love white cabinets!!

[@mlwashington4118]

Your kitchen looks wonderful!!! I'm working on the cabinets as well. Top will be a light cream and the bottom ones will be dark grey.

[@candyrae8059]

You go girl! I loved how you did it all yourself. I am thinking about trying it myself. I am scared I might not do as great of a job as you.

[@peggyruggles3754]

You did an awesome job!!! Love the white cabinets. Makes the whole room seem brighter

[@meka1002]

I have the same island in my kitchen but in black and with the pot rack, Your kitchen is beautiful, not boring at all. We redid our kitchen, got all of our cabinets and counter from ikea. I went with the black drawers ( No cabinets just open shelves) white counter top and light natural wood look (floors and windows frames)

[@ThriftDiving]

I love the look of open shelves! I feel like to rock that style, you really focus on minimalism and only keeping what's absolutely necessary (and not jumbling it all up like those of us that have cabinets!). LOL

[@estherfarquharson1892]

Yes, I agree with you looks like a new kitchen and looks more expensive love to see more of your ideas in the future is Esther from Florida

[@Grumpyoldman037]

I am a great fan of high gloss ultra white paint. It brightens up a room like no other white does. Your kitchen looks great! I also like the color of the walls.

[@elainerobertson7329]

I love the lighter cabinets. I would have gone a little creamier color with the countertops. However, it is a great upgrade.

[@lanaxmoons]

Nice 👍🏽 cabinets looks clean and brighter…inspiring me to paint my cabinets all white 😊

[@megachicago]

Looks Great! Personally, I don't like a white kitchen, but you did a wonderful job with your update.

[@miareynolds8761]

Great idea to steam clean them first. Your cabinets and kitchen look so nice. Great job!

[@conniechuha3113]

I love it. Painting my cabinets is on my radar. Thanks for all the tips.

[@smequestrianart-qj2ee]

They came out gorgeous 😍 awesome video, thank you!❤

[@ThriftDiving]

I appreciate you for watching! :) Thank you!

[@_JanetLouise]

.... I'm so glad you decided to spray ..... BIG JOB!!

[@chrism9294]

The transformation is awesome. I’m glad you went with white instead of the Nantucket.

[@tanyaregulus2121]

Simply gorgeous

[@irisfields482]

Beautiful job

[@tonyawallace8308]

I love a nice bright white kitchen.

[@0439001]

They look great! I love the white. Fantastic job!

[@carolereames13]

Wow that looked amazing. The cabinets are really nice 👍🏽. Wonderful job.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you Carole!!

[@judyellen4412]

You did a great job, Serena! The white looks very nice with your countertops. That is such a big job. You sure do have stick to it ness. Haha Good for you.

[@deboz8793]

I love it! Good job! So much brighter on camera.

[@Consecrated_COG]

Love it! I want to paint my cabinets white. This was very helpful.

[@leahlouisestitchery]

Beautiful and inspiring. I plan to do this after the holidays this year! Can you please like your steam cleaner?! And can you explain your “trash cabinet”?

[@LivingLovingLifewithEdna]

Love the look it makes the room more inviting

[@jerrimclaughlin8432]

What a transformation good job I'm getting inspiration to start my kitchen. I have a huge kitchen and it's gonna take some time. Thank you for sharing.

[@ThriftDiving]

This time of year is a good time to start! Now that the holidays are over and spring is here. It will make your kitchen feel bright and sunny. :)

[@katiemason4494]

You give the true story on the job !! Thanks

[@melaniewest3947]

It looks like a new kitchen. Great job done. Hard work but worth it

[@gaylemcgee2221]

As always you've done an awesome job on your kitchen project!!! Taking that old border off was the first best thing. The white paint just brightened everything up so much. I love a bright room. Love the bar stools as well. Great job.....and hating you still.....in a good way. Ahahaha

[@musiktouches]

Beautiful!! Definitely labor intensive but worth the work! Enjoy😊

[@AllThingsVon1277]

It's always a pleasure watching you. So educational ❤

[@v.j.cooper2007]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! LOVE THIS PROJECT.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you so much!

[@cyberxray]

White cabinets makes the kitchen look very bright so it feels cheery. I did a kitchen makeover and went with white cabinets and doors.

[@georgiamorrissiey4844]

I loved the way you were Explaining how Too Paint the Kitchen Cabinet's.and it Looks Very Beautiful But you can also do the same Thing with You're Table Lamp

[@cherylk8781]

Wow, I usually don't like white cabinets but they actually turned out beautiful. Also loved the rest of your upgrades/changes.❤

[@rosecityremodel2015]

Your cabinets are a great quality and kitchen definitely looks lighter and brighter! When I remodeled my kitchen I added soft-close hinges, which really helped with the teenagers slamming the doors. 😅

[@julieanne594]

BEAUTIFUL!! GREAT JOB AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE TIPS.

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

Excited to see you landed on white. I love my white kitchen. Always have...always will. How is beyond paint's self-leveling?

[@yvettebarnett4678]

I always get the paint and primer together. Haven't had any issues what so ever

[@IE2484]

It turned out great. I think it needs a really nice light, it will be the cherry on top! You don’t even need to tile it to be fair… it looks great as it is. Definitely change the light and it will be 👌🏻

[@benniececiliamattox7426]

Spectacular! You’re a professional!

[@sonicstoryteller]

Serena absolutely stunning makeover and may i say you look amazing best wishes Phil 👍❤

[@emiliam778]

looks fantastic! I love your kitchen makeover

[@dianabaskin1944]

I have been running away from white because I wanted a color. I am now at least thinking about it. Your kitchen does look brighter. With that much work, I want to be sure.

[@ThriftDiving]

White is so classic, you can't go wrong with it! I know some think it's boring, but if you like a bright space, white is the color to choose!

[@tonya3739]

A mí me encanta, t quedó precioso y con mucha luz❤

[@joseecampion7098]

absolutly amazing tank you so much ,you are answer every question i have tanks again josee the french lady☺

[@jardonawms4606]

Serena, you did a great job as usual. I am getting ready to do the opposite. I am changing my white cabinets to either French Roast or Hot Cocoa . Sherwin Williams paint. I am hiring a contractor to paint my cabinets though. Too much work for me. I'm actually sick of the white cabinets already. We have only been in our home for 2 yrs this November. I say do whatever makes you happy because you have to live there and look at your home everyday. I do whatever I like because it's my home and no one else opinion matters to me

[@tomlamiam]

thanks for this video. my cabinets are exactly the same cherry wood color that i'm planning to replace with white.

[@kanon1964]

This looks great! My cabinets are a cherry color kind of like how yours looked before. I’m tempted to make the change to white at some point.

[@maralfniqle5092]

Great reno, looks beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻

[@bellaszucs-zagoni9014]

Looks so much better! You are very brave to do this!

[@anthonytiramani-ct3tt]

Whoever says white cabinets is boring is very wrong. White is timeless. It might never be the flavor of the month color .. but it will always remain relevant. It’s a classic. Also, awesome job except the part you left some drawers in there.. that made my skin crawl.. lol But aside of that.. awesome job !

[@melissagrimes4871]

Looks fantastic!❤

[@steemdup]

Kitchen cabinets are not very interesting to begin with - but look how much lighter and brighter the white cabinets make the kitchen? No one likes a dark and dreary space, and now yours looks fantastic! Now if only appliances were available in bright and cheery colors? I've always wanted an orange gas range and a turquoise refrigerator! Looks great to me, Serena💞💞

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you!!! But you know what, they actually DO make colorful appliances! I know that Big Chill is one brand. And there's another really popular one--can't think of the brand off the top of my head. But they're super expensive. Like premium prices! I wonder if it's possible to just....PAINT the refrigerator turquoise...? Hmmm........!!! LOL

[@craigmerkey8518]

Really amazing! Best channel in KZbin!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

Aww, thank you! :)

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Yoooooooooooooo Serena!!!!! BLESSINGS to you & your family for 2024!!! You're never giving up, never surrendering!!! Now, if anyone can pull this off I know you can. If you look to redo cabinets down the line again I saw this DIY'r flip the doors around using the back side to convert them to shaker style cabinets & it came out OK. I know you'd take it to next level though. Hoping all is well Homie, Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

Miiikkke, my man!! Happy New Year!!! Hey, funny thing, but I was actually thinking that very ide, about turning them around!! I did peep that on the back side. I was like, well hmmmm....Shaker style in the back.....Great minds think alike!!

[@barbarawatson5375]

The white looks good. Nice job.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thanks so much, Barbara!

[@frankswildyear]

Looks great! Awesome work

[@ThriftDiving]

Glad you like it!!!

[@robinmorio8032]

I love how your cabinets turned out. We got estimates to have our cabinets painted white, and the estimates were 3,600 and 4,500. So that’s that. 😮

[@ThriftDiving]

Holy moly, wow.......I mean, it's a big job to do, yes. So I can see them charging that much. BUT....you can totally do this yourself! Takes a bit of time, but you can do it!

[@tpp4007]

Your cabinets turned out great!

[@ThriftDiving]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@nicolebyers5651]

Looks good Serena!!

[@JBar-z4h]

Love the way you explain everything

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you for that feedback! I love to try to tell the story as best as I can. :)

[@momzilla7752]

Definitely going to paint my dark cabinets white!

[@ThriftDiving]

Good luck to you! :)

[@saborasofrito1976]

Very nice I’m doing mine from wood to white as well in kitchen n bathroom 🫶🏼

[@zhannamzhen746]

❤❤❤🎉 Wow, these are the exactly same cabinet I have

[@ThriftDiving]

Now you know what they would look like white! :) It's such a fresher look.

[@truthbetold4178]

Beautiful! 👍👍

[@RajanikanthChitla]

Awesome job. Thx for sharing

[@jaetafari2123]

Looks Amazing!! I would have had to remove, purge and clean the inside of everything!😅😅

[@ThriftDiving]

Oh, don't think I didn't want to!!! LOL. I am so sick of mismatched dishes and cups. It's enough to give me anxiety. But I honestly didn't have time to focus on what's behind the cabinet doors. I have 2-3 more projects I have to bang out this month, and I'm soooo behind. LOL
