I would definitely recommend chalk paint if you are considering painting your cabinets as it s so easy to use and provides a great end result we got the look of a brand new kitchen for just a fraction of the price by choosing to paint our cabinets instead of gut the whole thing.
Painting kitchen cupboard doors with chalk paint.
They are just cheap white melamine cupboards and my husband added a simple wood trim prefab around all the edges to give them a bit of texture before painting.
Paint the cupboards in your chosen chalk paint.
Use an annie sloan flat brush for a smooth finish.
Repair these first with wood glue before sanding the veneered surface.
If your cabinets have a wood veneer essentially a very thin layer of real hardwood over a pressed material you will also need to sand before painting your kitchen cabinets but before you break out the sandpaper or paint carefully inspect the veneer for loose edges chips or cracks.
Once dry wax the doors using clear chalk paint wax and a chalk paint wax brush.
If you have a cabinet with that has a relief pattern or that has grooves this is a really easy look to copy.
How gorgeous is this idea.
Here annie is using old ochre.
Leave to dry before painting a second coat of chalk paint.
Leave the wax to harden.
Remove any excess with a lint free cloth.
