They are slightly different than the article, but the general concept was the same.įirst, we cleaned all the surfaces we were going to paint with this Krud Kutter. That is fine with me though, because no one was coming over, and it would have taken us years to be ready to pay for new cabinets and countertops! My husband, the perfectionist, quickly took over and it took several months to be done. I crazily thought I would do it myself in about a week. These considerations have led to a plethora of DIY blogs offering their own takes on the recipe using a standard flat acrylic or other types of low. Commercial products to chalk paint cabinets are expensive and Annie Sloan‘s original version requires some work to track down. We also added handles to the cabinet doors! All together this cost us less than $200! In a nutshell, chalk paint employs a fine powder, often calcium carbonate or plaster of Paris, to enhance the character of the finish and create the look that so many people love. I am SO SO happy with this kitchen makeover. Here is our embarrassingly messy kitchen just before we started the project! I saw a post from Shanty 2 Chic, and I decided I wanted to do that too! My husband and I agreed that even if we messed up, it couldn’t be much worse than what we already had! The kitchen was not a high enough priority on the list to spend that kind of money, so I looked at other options. And that was still going to be thousands and thousands of dollars. From what I found, if you want new kitchen cabinets, the “cheap” option is going to IKEA, and they highly recommend paying for the installation from IKEA. During the 2020 Pandemic, I had some extra time on my hands and was researching ways we could fix up the kitchen. It had those 30 year old builder grade cabinets that are a yucky fake wood grain color. Our kitchen was my least favorite room in our 30 year old house.
