Hi,

We recently purchased a foreclosed house that is about 80% complete. Having a very hard time finding a reasonably priced general contractor who appears trustworthy, so I am moving forward with some of the easier tasks on my own. Please stop laughing. :)

All of the cabinets in the house appear to have been stained by a 12 year old. I'm not trying to be mean.... they are really bad. It is the first comment everyone makes when first seeing the house. So, we are thinking about painting all cabinets white which should go very well with the black granite countertops in the kitchen and all bathrooms. What do you think?

What type of paint should be used to paint kitchen and bathroom cabinets? Can this job be done by an experienced amateur (meaning a paid person who occasingly does painting work) or does it require a pro?

All advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jerry
