Hi! Are you interested in how to paint your kitchen cabinets like a pro, but it seems like an overwhelming chore? Have you painted your cabinets before, were unhappy with the result, and don’t know how to repaint your cabinets? I used to Paint Kitchen and Bath Cabinets for a living. I first painted my cabinets about 20 years ago, and it did not go well. Why was it so hard? I paint furniture for a living. Little did I know that painting Kitchen and bathroom cabinets is NOTHING like painting furniture. Now, I always get asked, “How do you paint kitchen cabinets”?
I wanted to grow my painting business and knew I needed help. I enrolled in a high-end Kitchen and Bath cabinetry course taught by professional painters and learned all the insider tips and tricks; I wanted to learn how to paint cabinets in a kitchen and bath. I went on to paint kitchen and bath cabinets for a living for several years, but it was not my first love. So, I began helping others learn to paint their kitchen cabinets themselves. I taught small in-person workshops for years, teaching tips and tricks, but it was still not enough; I knew I needed to be in someone’s kitchen with them, showing them step-by-step how to paint cabinets.
After about the 20th person asked me in in-person how to paint cabinets, I began to search the internet for a course I could refer them to that would teach them what I knew, but I could not find one, so I created my course!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! looks so great! thanks for sharing the process
great job–I love the black and cream together too, also love you drawer pulls!
I love this! it's gorgeous! (I need the motivation of company coming over too…
They look fabulous! I love the black bases and white tops…perfection!
I love this, everything looks fabulous! How are the chalk paint cabinets holding up to the kids and to general life?
Must also comment that there is nothing like a visit from family or friends to spur one into finisheing projects. I have a few myself that I must finish before the relatives come in Sept for a visit!
What a fabulous transformation! I love the two colors together.
It looks fabulous, I love the color contrast. Will the wax hold up to the wear and tear of kitchen use like poly? I would rather use wax if it can stand being wiped down frequently without constantly reapplying.
Hi, over from 504 Main..:)
Your kitchen is adorable. I first thought, when you said you use AS paint, “wow, that must have been really expensive”..then I saw that you mixed paints.
I, too, have a two-toned kitchen. Here's the link

Come by to see my fun kitchen, too. 🙂

It looks wonderful~ I love the dark mixed with the lighter and how your island came out! I would love for you to come share at Feathered Nest Friday at my blog sometime! 🙂
So glad your accident turned into a gorgeous kitchen. I'm putting it in the PoPP Spotlight… thanks for linking up.
WOW! What a transformation. Oh you give me hope that I can do this myself one day!!!! Really, WOW. I'm bookmarking so I can remember this!!
I love transformations! I just turned my secretary into a bar area in my dining room. I really hope you'll stop by and check it out: http://niagaranovice.blogspot.com/2011/08/picture-is-worth.html
See you soon, I hope!

It's beautiful! Love the new look.
Hi there~ Just stopping back by to say thanks so much for linking up at Feathered Nest Friday 🙂
Beautiful! I love the black and cream, I love the quote and your accents! We're still deciding on the color of the island for our kitchen. I know I want distressed and I'm thinking a dark stain next to the white (actually they're gray but look white) cabinets. Thanks so much for sharing your inspiring kitchen in the Roomspiration party! 😉
What a great kitchen! I love black and whites together and it looks great on your cabinets. Great sink and counters too.
O.K, Girlfriend…..Scottish ancestry?….ME too! Haha! I am now picking up my chin up off the floor! Your kitchen is incredible! I want to put a wash up on my top cabinets….got any suggestions! I do like your choice to go black! Everything in there is perfect! I was a fan of your creations before but now….I am a “Fan X 3″…Thanks for sharing!
Looks fantastic, and very European. I just did my first chalk paint project, it IS good stuff…!
It looks great, love the color mix!

Cream and black together reminds me of Chanel – classic.
Thanks for sharing your kitchen in the Room By Room series!

Lovely, I especially love the pots hanging over the sink. Beautiful space!
That looks great! Last year I painted both my upper and lowers chocolate brown, but am rethinking perhaps lightening up the tops …
… it was a huge project … and I have a million other things to do first … and my husband would probably have me institutionalized!
It's so crisp and fresh. We have blackish granite and it is so washed out by the dark cherry stain on the cabinets…I've been toyin' with painting them…I do believe you've inspired me to get my butt in gear…What ratio did you use to thin the chalk paint? And is the finish as Matte as it looks in the photos? I really like it.
It looks great! (Coincidentally, I’m making my kitchen black and white this summer, too!)
What a beautiful transformation!
I love the transformation!
Fantastique!!!

Love the look of your new kitchen! wow, you worked hard..this is a fabulous transformation! Congrats.
WOW, Karen! it’s FABULOUS!!!!!! It’s so very you, too!
Man, when you get the yen to power through something, nothing stops you! Great job, LOVE the lower cabs in black, and I also love your prayer on the counter. That’s something I’ll keep in my back pocket for the future!
Your cabinets look great! You really did a good job. And I like the darker color on the bottom cabinets. It really makes your countertop pop. Have a great week.
Beautiful kitchen! Love the tall stools. 🙂
Totally beautious!!! I love two tone kitchens, and hope to do something similar in my new house! Great visual inspiration…thanks 🙂
LOVE your kitchen re-do! Maybe part of it is because I just re-rid mine in the same colors. You’ve added some beautiful extra touches too. Blessings to you, Patti@OldThingsNew
What a great job! I just love it.
Your copper pots really caught my eye. The entire kitchen is fantastic. I enjoyed reading and seeing the process even tho I am too old to do that. I have wanted to paint my island a darker color, I might could pull off that. Thanks for the inspiration. I am following, xoGinger
I LOVE it! the waxed look is so worth it if you can handle the time it takes! I hope to do wax finishes on my kitchen cabinets when i finally get to that project!
This is fantastic!
Gorgeous Karen!! I cannot wait to redo my kitchen, I hope it turns out as lovely as yours 🙂
xo, Tanya
That was certainly a labor of love! I love the contrast between the cream and the black as well as the black and flooring. I also ADORE your beautiful long counter. What a pleasure that must be to serve (and eat) from!
A lovely job…congratulations!

Still looks fabulous!!
Oh wow Karen, your kitchen is striking! I love the contrast of the cabinets and your countertops and farmhouse sink really do shine now! Great hardware! And your copper pots just sparkle in the sunlight! You must be thrilled!

Love your kitchen. Especially the bar stools. Can I ask where you got them?
Thanks
Gorgeous kitchen. How are the finishes holding up? I found this blog post by searching for the image of the pot rack. Would you share your sources? Or post a DIY for the pot rack? Please??
