Actually this project was delegated to my husband who is on summer break. He did a wonderful job, with one exception...when I asked him to take a "before" picture for my blog this is what I got:
So I don't have a before shot of the whole kitchen, but this should give you an idea of what we were dealing with.
Tony used a Rust-oleum cabinet painting kit that we saw at Home Depot. Tony had no complaints with the product beyond the normal it's-sure-a-pain-in-the-butt-to-paint-kitchen-cabinet gripes. It's a multi step process that takes some time, but the results look great. Our color is called federal grey.
While we were at it, we changed out our pulls too. We reused our knobs. I have always loved the look of these "bin style" pulls. I think it looks really nice with the grey. These were also purchased at Home Depot. They are part of the Martha Stewart collection.
Here's a look at the other side of the kitchen. I just love it. Overall the kitchen is looks brighter and more fresh. Our cabinets were really starting to show some wear and tear and we aren't planning to replace them for a few years. I will be curious to see how this paint job holds up.
Next stop is accessories!!!

What a huge project! But wow, what a difference. Does your husband want to come over and do mine??
looks amazing! great color!
Love, love. love this color. And, what a great husband you have, this is not a fun project by any means!
I know that the "drawers" under the sink are non-working and adding the bin pulls might mean that they get in the way, but would you consider adding them? I think it's minor, but might "complete" the transformation. Just thinkin'.
Love the color! Your kitchen looks terrific! Your husband did a great job! Thanks for sharing.
I love that color and the pulls really do look fabulous with this color. I love the look and now I wish I could repaint my cabinets :)

That is a big job but he did a great job. Nice colour and I really love the updated bin pulls.
Your cabinets look great, love the color and your cabinet pulls. Great job!
I love your cabinets. My daughter and I used this product in oe of her bathrooms, but did not used the glaze. Did you used the glaze? If so how did you like it. I cannot tell in picture if it has the glaze. Feel free to answer by email claudinedenn@tx.rr.com
I just saw this post, and currently have the same kit, different color from Home Depot, and was wondering if you had left over paint? we have a few more cabinets, and wanted to have enough the first time if possible. Thanks!

I love the color! This is inspiring since our cabinets are looking pretty old and worn too...sure wish it wasn't so much work, though!
It all looks amazing! I really love your window treatments!! Where did you get the curtains, and what did you hang from the rod. Can't tell if it's burlap or linen? Thanks!!

You guys did a great job! The hardware compliments the paint color nicely. Fantastic work!
