This Girl’s House

Tonight, This Old House had an episode about painting Kitchen Cabinets.  They went into detail about the process.  Geeze, I wished I had seen this episode sometime last summer before I started painting my kitchen cabinets.  It would  have saved me some time and money.  On the other hand, in the end, I pretty much did what they did, but I used a different kind of paint, and I’m satisfied with the job.  However, if you’re going to be painting your kitchen cabinets, this episode is a must see.  They recommended 5 coats (1 primer, 2 coats of acrylic and 2 coats of water based polyurethane), the home owner ended up doing 6 coats (1 primer, 3 coats of acrylic and 2 coats of water based polyurethane).  The home owner also used foam rollers, just as I did.
