My Weekend Project...

Brynwood Needleworks - Farmhouse Kitchen Cabinets Project

The weather was beautiful this weekend, and perfect for painting! So, I went out to the garage to continue working on painting out the cabinets we purchased for our kitchen. 

I white-balanced each of the images in this collage, but the only photo that shows the color the way I actually see it is the photograph of the two containers of product I was using to paint! The deglosser is in the container with the dark lid, and the primer/paint combination is Heirloom Traditions All-In-One Paint, and you can see the variety of colors available HERE. The color I'm using is "London". I'm covering the original stained wood in these KraftMade™ cabinets.

The images upper left, clockwise are: 1) Upper cabinets with the doors removed. (Interior cabinet paint color is Cashmere. I used an entire pint covering the dark wood! We were contemplating painting the base cabinets Cashmere, too, but it took multiple, multiple coats to cover the wood. I said, "Nope. Nope. Nope. We're not going to use that on the outside!" London started covering almost immediately.) 2) Base cabinet and lower door (2 for each base), 3) First coat of London on the upper cabinets, before painting the cabinet interiors, and 4) Heirloom Traditions All-in-One-Paint and deglosser.

The base cabinet shown is finished and drying. I still have to do the backside of the base cab doors, and then I'll move on to the second base cabinet. We're already using the 12" wide, 4-drawer cabinet in the house, so I'll have to empty that to paint it, too.

Coffee, and then heading out to the garage. I really want to get the cabinets finished so they can be installed in the kitchen. I can't wait to show you how it turns out!
