(Above) This picture is the first day we moved it. I took a picture right before the project, but I thought this one would be more dramatic.
Let me help you cut down the steps, save money and have better results!!
You need only a few things to start. First you might not find the deglosser in the white bottle because that came with the box. You will need another deglosser. I saw lots of choices at Walmart even.. The deglosser is a great option, if you do not want to sand.
I would go with the sander deglosser if it were me... Why did I not know all this before????? Ok Then go to your home improvement store and buy Semigloss paint of your choosing. I like Behr, that is just my preference. Go for the more expensive though. The cheap stuff you will be doing more coats..
That is all you need!!! Well ok get your gloves tape and paintbrush and things... It is a 2 step process. It will be more durable, and easier to clean! you just spent 35 to 40 dollars compared to the 70 and lets be honest probably double that to buy another box. Also you will always have your paint to match perfectly.
I am now going to do my bathroom cabinets the same. I will let you know how it goes!
Good luck! I hope that helps!!
I would love to know how your projects go!
Oh wait, haha, the knobs are stinking cute glass knobs from Hobby Lobby, 50% off, $2 dollars each. They have tons of cute knobs.(Thanks Lindsay! http://doityourselfduo.blogspot.com/) I just drilled the wholes myself (I know, go me), and they would not hold tight so I got a nifty little tube of locktite, thread locker at Home Depot.. It did the trick.
