How we painted our kitchen cabinets

Our kitchen cabinets were from the 60's. The doors were some sort of mahogany I was told, but the boxes of the cabinetry were handmade-some sort of plywood or hardboard maybe?
To paint them, I washed them several times with hot soapy water. They were covered in layers of grease and very nasty!
After washing them, I removed the handles and the hinges. My one little trick though, was that I left one hinge attached to each door. On that hinge I placed a piece of painter's tape with a number on it. That way I could match it up to the right "box" when I was ready to hang them up again.
Then I used wood filler on the holes where the handles had been. If you are putting your same handles back on you can skip this step, but my new handles had holes in different spots. I let that dry, sanded it down, put another coat on, and sanded that. My husband added the mouldings(Don't ask me what size or kind of moulding because I have no clue) on the front.
I didn't sand the "boxes" of the cabinetry because they were not a slick smooth surface, but I DID sand the doors lightly because they had a shiny finish on them. Afterward I wiped them with a damp cloth to get the dust off.
The cabinetry was painted with 3 coats of semi-gloss interior latex paint, in Cloud White from Benjamin Moore. We lived with those cabinets for almost three years, and not ONE scratch, dent, or flake of paint came off them when we moved out.
I painted the boxes first, and worked from the top down. I painted the inside first, top to bottom, and then the outside. The doors were laid out on sawhorses and painted, then flipped over after a few hours and the other side was painted.
I used a small high density foam roller and a 2 inch angled brush for the corners and moulding.
We let everything dry for about two days so that we wouldn't have any cabinet doors sticking when we tried to open them. Then we re-hung the doors(this is where the numbers on the doors come in handy) and installed the new door handles.
That was about it! Very simple! I was really intimidated to start, but I figured I couldn't screw them up any worse than they already looked. Once I did it, I realized it was a very easy project and there was really no way I could "Ruin" it.

If you are designing a custom kitchen, you will have a designer who can assist you in the types of storage that you may need and that are available.
Here are just a few of the wonderful space saving, convenient and efficient storage solutions that you will learn about and be able to choose from:
-An appliance garage to keep your small appliances handy but out of sight (and clean)
-A lazy Susan for spices, condiments and other items you may want handy as you cook. It makes use of a corner of the counter top that is otherwise wasted.
-Glass cabinets that show off the contents if you have lovely dishes or glasses. This should be limited to one or two, since you do want to be able to hide a lot of items as well.
-A wine rack that is built into one of the cabinets. You can display your vintage wines, and you can have a wine rack with a door that will keep the bottles safe.
-A bookcase for cook books. This can be installed into an upper cabinet, or into the walls of a kitchen island.
-Specialized spice drawers, especially good for gourmet cooks. They can be installed under the cabinets, or in a special narrow pull out cabinet.
-Pull out garbage cans under a counter. Some people like to have two: one for garbage and one for recyclables.
-Carry cases that can hold all you cleaning supplies together and can be pulled out and carried around when needed.
-Drawers and cabinets with custom designed dividers for the kind of items you have in the kitchen. For instance, you can have tall sections to place pizza pans, cookie trays, serving platters.
-Special racks to keep all your storage needs in such as foil, plastic wrap, sandwich bags and garbage bags
-A knife storage rack that pulls down from under a cabinet. This has two important benefits. You don't have to reach into a drawer to get a sharp knife and risk injury, and children cannot reach the knives.
-Drawers with partition separators to organize all of your utensils, kitchen gadgets and general "junk". It keeps everything neat and accessible instead of piled on top of each other.
-A pull down cookbook rack. This attaches under a cabinet and is out of site when it is not used, but keeps the cookbook handy at eye level and away from cooking splatters when you are using it.
As you can see, there are so many storage ideas to choose from, that you just have to determine what is most important to you and your family, and you can make your kitchen a dream place to be because of its organization and efficiency.

Remodeling projects take time, money, patience and forethought. By following these general guidelines, you can make the process more manageable and stress-free.
Prepare yourself. Remodeling is not an easy process. There will be personal intrusions, noise, distractions and inconveniences, but they can be avoided if you plan in advance.
Determine your needs. Sit down with pen and paper and try to define what it is you really want. Start an ideas folder, making lists of what you like and don’t like in your current room and look for possible ways to improve on them, using this website, product brochures, wood samples and ideas you’ve seen in magazines. Determine how the room is to be used and tie that into features you’d like to add.
Know your limits. Have a solid budget in mind before getting started. This will help keep you on track as you begin visiting showrooms, exploring options and talking with contractors. You don’t want any surprises.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Make sure you completely understand what you’re getting before you buy anything or begin work. Keep the lines of communication open with your dealer/designer/contractor and let them know when you have any hesitations or misgivings. Once a contract has been signed, it’s much more difficult to slam on the brakes.
Be open to new ideas. Your contractor and/or designer are the experts and may have solutions and options that you’ve never even thought of.
Plan to visit the dealer showroom more than once. There will be several major decisions involved in the execution of your project. To make the most of everyone’s time, consider bringing a blueprint or drawing of the room to help dealers/designers grasp your particular situation and offer you the most viable options. Make use of our convenient planning guides so that you can have this information in hand.
Check your contractor’s references. It’s also a good idea to contact the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against them. Since everyone operates differently, it’s wise to let your contractor know up front what your expectations are so that they may live up to their end of the agreement.
