Has anyone painted their kitchen cabinets?

  We painted ours white for a quick fix until we remodel.  It looks good and was pretty easy.  We had to use a really strong, nasty primer and then we rolled paint onto them.  It really didn't take that long and was worth it.

  My husband would probably caution you on how you paint them.  It's really tough to paint them with a brush and not show the brush strokes.  he would recommend using a sprayer.

  It takes a while mostly b/c of having to take all the doors off, sand them, prime them, paint them... bleh.  I haven't, but I helped a friend do hers.  If you take the time to sand/prime it looks good.  Looks bubbly & lumpy (and peels off) if you don't.

  I think the sanding took the longest when we did ours in our old house.  I sat outside on the back patio, sanded, primed, and painted all the cabinets.  My legs were so freaking sore the next day!  Mostly because I squated when I did it.  But it was well worth it.  They looked so much better with new paint and new hardware!

  I think spraying sounds like a fantastic idea. I think it would apply much more uniformly. Now, spraying the doors would be easy, but what about the cabinets themselves? How do you not get it everywhere?

  Later tonight I should post my before & after pics, it will motivate you to do it! They look awesome. DH did them over the space of about a week at night after work (one cabinet at a time).
