When we remodeled the kitchen (about four years ago) we put in granite countertops, a stone backsplash and repainted the cabinets white. It is just impossible to keep white cabinets clean. I had the girls on rotating schedules of scrubbing them down but it just wasn't working. I knew I couldn't do dark on top and bottom because of the black granite. I decided on gray for the bottom and painted the top white again. I am very happy with the results! The gray was super easy. We had oil based paint on them and I didn't want to have to sand or strip. Lowes sells a new primer that will stick to ANY surface! It was amazing! I put a coat on everything and then used a cabinet paint that they sell. It was very expensive but I think it will be worth it. I've already had to scrub a splash of green smoothie from a vitamix explosion and it cleans really well. The top cabinets for whatever reason were really hard to cover. We ( well, Marc ended up doing the top for me! I only finished the bottom the weekend they were gone.) ended up having to do a good two and in some places three coats. I am very happy with the results and I think the gray on the bottom is going to stay nicer a lot easier than the white!
I don't think I ever posted our bathroom remodel. We have remodeled two out of three of our bathrooms and plan to gut the master bath soon! There is always a project!
~Until next time....
