Painting Kitchen Cabinets

Check out the "staging area" for the kitchen cabinets. It sure did help having the space to do this in. First we sanded and primed the cabinets (both sides). Then we sanded again because if there are streaks in the primer it will show through once you paint. Oh, and the primer we used is oil based. Then we painted the cabinets using oil based SW Wool Skein. It has a little more color to it than just plain old cream. At first we tried a brush on the doors but decided the small foam roller worked the best. Now I will tell you that this is a long process...2 coats of paint on each side and drying time of 24 hours between each coat. We also did the same thing to the cabinet boxes.
The finished product (excuse the mess...we just moved in!!) And yes, those are spray painted knobs!
