Hello everyone! My kitchen makeover had to be done on a budget so there is plenty of DIY in here. Refinishing kitchen cabinets can cost hundreds, if not, over $1,000! This project definitely took some time, but in the end it was well worth it. Below I linked the products I used that I would recommend to you based on my experience.

Paint sprayer (highly recommend if it’s in the budget) rstyle.me/cz-n/gta5umddctf
Kilz Primer rstyle.me/cz-n/gta5c8ddctf
Cabinet paint www.sherwin-williams.com/home...
Trim brush (highly recommend) rstyle.me/cz-n/gta5g3ddctf
Brass pulls rstyle.me/cz-n/gta6jgddctf
Brass knobs rstyle.me/cz-n/gta5xeddctf
Brass cup pulls (similar ones) rstyle.me/cz-n/gta524ddctf
Felt cabinet bumpers (highly recommend) rstyle.me/cz-n/gta55tddctf
*I initially used BIN Zinsser shellac based primer as it was highly recommended. I’m not sure if I got a bad can (it was the last can on the shelf) but it nearly ruined my sprayer, even though it should be compatible, by coagulating and hardening inside. It also rolled on patchy and lifted. Based on my personal experience I may not purchase it again. With tax it was about $80. I switched to my Kilz 3 and had no problems.

I am so glad I ran across your channel. We have started thinking about remodeling our Kitchen (and baths) in our premanufacture home. We basically have the same cabinets as you. I was so impressed with what you did in your video, your kitchen turned out absolutely amazing and looks very much like what I hope to achieve. It definitely made me realize that the work and steps involved to make it look like this are not going to be a quick weekend job like so many other videos had me believing.We are now thinking that perhaps we are better off redesigning and fixing a few things we hate about the kitchen layout and going with new cabinets . It seems like some of the off the shelf options at some of the big box store are not horribly priced. Love your channel, thank you

I also painted the cabinets just like you did, but did not used the wood filling, It was too much work and they came out fine. My total renovation cost around $200 but it looks amazing and it will give me some time for me before I can really replace the counter tops with Quartz.

Wow, love that cabinet color! I think a battery operated wall light over the window, lighting up the sink would look great, maybe with a metal shade that mirrors the hardware on the cabinets? A patterned large rug would look great between the island & cabinets would totally bring it all together! Nice job!

@thisgirlathome Жыл бұрын

I did consider a light above the sink, but the space between the top of the window frame and the ceiling is small so it looked very crammed. We also do have a recessed light right above the sink so that lights it up! Thank you for watching!! ☺️🖤
