Finally we're able to paint the cabinets. I put the first coat on today! We're using oil based paint which is not fun to work with, but is the most durable. Sherwin Williams Pro Classic was recommended and the color is Wool Skein. I smell like mineral spirits after working with this all day :)
I'm attempting to paint the drawers without removing them. It will go a lot faster this way. I keep a cloth with mineral spirits handy and use it to wipe off any paint that gets where I don't want it. So far so good...

Here's a look at the trim Jason installed. It's all coming together nicely. The final step will be to glaze the cabinets. The color we're considering tinting the glaze is a brown, maybe SW Van Dyke Brown. 
I believe I mentioned this in a previous post, but we installed beadboard on the sides of the cabinets. Jason trimmed it out so the cut side of the beadboard wouldn't show. Basically the trim framed the beadboard. On some cabinets you can use a corner piece to take care of this problem but our cabinet doors come all the way to the edge so we couldn't use the corner piece. Just thought I'd mention this solution in case you're faced with the same type of cabinets.
