Laundry Room Cabinet Makeover for a Light and Natural Home
- Find a clean location to paint the cabinets is not easy in a small space. So I had to choose two separate locations in the house to paint these cabinets. I choose the garage for the sanding and the kitchen to set up the horses to prop up the cabinets. The trick is having enough space in the kitchen to lay all the cabinets doors to dry. With patient and a little luck it can be done.
- There are many ways to paint cabinets. You can spray them or use foam cabinet rollers. Because I have limited space I choose the cabinet roller
3. Sand the cabinets with a sanding sponge before you prime them. Basically, you are sanding the old paint lightly to take off any sheen. You don’t need to remove the paint to show wood.
