Room transformation

We moved into our current home a year ago. It's a wonderful and beautiful house but when you move into a home owned by someone there are always things you want to change.

I loved the windows of our family room but everything in the room was the same color: beige. I didn't enjoy going into the room, it was just blah.

The cabinets are beautiful oak but color differential was needed in the room.

Here's a sideways picture of the cabinets with a little paint (I forgot to take a before picture and for some reason this picture won't rotate.)

 

First coat.

 

  

 

The brand of paint I used. It is so good! No sanding before painting. I used six parts Florence and 1/2 part Pure White.

 This paint brush is awesome! Highly recommended for large projects.


 


 They say you can tell how good a painter is by how much paint she has on her clothes. Less paint is supposed to be better. I think I just get into my projects.

The left cabinet has a second coat of paint. The right has one coat.

 I waxed the cabinets with clear wax after the paint dried. After waxing I let the wax dry then distressed with sandpaper.  I waxed again with with two more coats of clear wax. Waxing the finished product is important to protect it and finish it.

 

 

Finished product!

...and night.
