CABINETS (6 days ago)
What to watch out for. Painting cabinetry may seem like a quick and easy kitchen solution, bit it's a big job. Make sure you have the time, skills and patience for the task. Odds are, you'll be looking at this cabinetry every day — so make sure you have the ability to make it look good.
If you're feeling unsure, look into hiring a professional painter. While it may be more expensive, these pros can probably get the work done in much less time and with a result of much higher quality. "Always get a few opinions," says Thomspon. "Regardless of your decision, talking to several companies will be a learning experience." Many professionals will use spray applications to get the smoothest finish, which can make a huge difference.
Painting cabinetry can be a lot of work — but whether you hire a pro or do the painting yourself, the results are well worth it.
"Above all, have fun with the project," says Miano. "Remember, it's only paint."
