I just finished a project last week that I have been going to do for 2 years. I actually had to look back at the hardware because I thought it was new – it really jumps out now. Hardware – I bought this at a local store and I don’t have any brand info on it – sorry! Wall color – Agreeable Gray by Sherwin WilliamsĬabinet Color – Langdon Dove by California PaintsĬounters – this is a laminate that is supposed to look like soapstone, I don’t love it in person and I’m hoping to swap it out soon. I may receive a small commission for purchases made through these links at no extra cost to you. SOURCES – This post contains affiliate links.

There you have it all my cabinet painting tips and tricks! Stay tuned for the full reveal of this room, and you can check out more of our basement here, here and here. I just took a sanding block to them and touched it up with a fresh coat of paint. I had several drips I didn’t see until I hung the cabinets back up. If you make a mistake, don’t freak out – sand it down and put a fresh coat on.We didn’t use these cabinets for several days to really let them harden up. You need to be sure to wait at least 16 hours between coats (I waited overnight) because it has a slower drying time which helps it level out and get really smooth.
It is kind of a hybrid paint that is water based, but acts more like an oil based paint so it dries really smooth. It’s what my painter originally used on them, so I know its good. I used Bejamain Moore Advance for these cabinets. Use quality paint! Do not skimp and get cheap paint when you are doing your cabinets.I take a brush to the details or edges and then roll the rest to smooth it out. Also, it’s way too cold to spray out in the garage right now, so I did the roll and brush method. Spraying is always going to give you the smoothest finish, but I didn’t feel like messing with setting that all up with this small of a space. I either spray cabinets with a paint sprayer or use a small roller and brush.For wood cabinets you will want to prime first as well. Depending on your cabinets you may want to use a de-glosser or for wood cabinets fill in some of the grain and sand for a smoother finish. These cabinets were already painted and smooth, so they didn’t need to be sanded.Having a clean surface is really important for the the paint to bond. I dilute it and wear rubber gloves to give everything a really good cleaning. I use Challenger it’s a heavy duty cleaner. Clean your surface really, really well.Go to your local paint store and talk to the experts! I’ve even brought a drawer front in to show them what I would be painting to make sure I have the right supplies.I’ve had several requests to share my cabinet painting tips (and I have saved some info on my instagram highlights under painting tips), so I’ll share a few. I’m still on the hunt for a few throw pillows to finish off this space, and then I’ll share the whole room together. I have always wanted to hang a piece of art in this blank space above the sink, and I finally found the perfect print from BFF Print Shop. I added some warm wood, copper, and black accents to finish the space. The warmer paint works so well with the tile and counters, and the black hardware really stands out now. I love it! I’m so happy with the change, this space finally feels like home and we have been spending so much time down here. That’s part of the reason the blue cabinets weren’t working down here, our couch is a warmer cream, the new rug is full of warm tones, and the leather chairs – all warm! Time to make the cabinets part of the warm and cozy vibe. I’ll include a shot of the top of the paint can at the bottom of the post. California Paints is a brand my local paint store carries, but they color matched it for me in Benjamin Moore Advance.
Putty color plus#
I love the warmth they add, plus the contrast with the black counters is so nice. They feel both fresh and modern, yet classic at the same time. I know! I surprised myself too! Putty/mushroom colored cabinets have started to pop up here and there on instagram and pinterest. I went to the paint store with my army of blue paint chips and chose…this putty color – Langdon Dove by California Paints. Last week, I got a bee in my bonnet and decided it was time to change this space. I had approximately one million blueish/blackish/grayish paint chips floating around my house, but I never fell in love with one. My big plan was to hunt down the exact right shade of blue. They were just never the right tone of blue. Ok, and really I have been talking about painting them since we moved in three years ago. Remember, I talked about this project waaaay back in the fall in this post here. I finally painted the wet bar cabinets in the basement!
