Painting Dark Wood Kitchen Cabinets White

Painting your kitchen cabinets is the single most transformative thing you can do to your kitchen without a gut renovation.
While going for dark colors may seem to go against the accepted perception that a kitchen should have bright and warm colors you might be surprised at how well it works for most kitchens. Forget about the backing. This was by far the most time intensive part of the whole project but the final finish on my cabinets is flawless so it. If you have been wanting to paint your dark kitchen cabinets white but still can t seem to commit you are not alone.
If you don t have windows in the kitchen this isn t as much of a problem. And if you do it yourself it can also be one of the least expensive ways to overhaul the space just the cost of materials and of course your time. Instead of fresh classic white cabinets to me they look like dated oak cabinets that are trying to hide behind white paint. One of the most popular modern décor trends is dark kitchen cabinets.
White kitchen cabinets have been trending for several years now and don t seem to be going anywhere any time soon. I have to admit before we painted our kitchen cabinets white catch up on that journey here and here i did a lot of research on the type of paint sprayer and the process of painting my research went on for months before we made a decision to paint them. So there was no question i had to take care of the wood grain before i could really start painting. It does seem like there has been a slight shift toward other colors such as gray and navy but white still remains to be the most popular choice.
