Painting Kitchen Cupboard Doors With Chalk Paint

Use an annie sloan flat brush for a smooth finish.
Painting kitchen cupboard doors with chalk paint. Learning how to paint your kitchen cabinets may seem intimidating at first but it really was such a breeze. Leave the wax to harden. They are just cheap white melamine cupboards and my husband added a simple wood trim prefab around all the edges to give them a bit of texture before painting. Repair these first with wood glue before sanding the veneered surface.
Once dry wax the doors using clear chalk paint wax and a chalk paint wax brush. I would definitely recommend chalk paint if you are considering painting your cabinets as it s so easy to use and provides a great end result we got the look of a brand new kitchen for just a fraction of the price by choosing to paint our cabinets instead of gut the whole thing. Remove any excess with a lint free cloth. How gorgeous is this idea.
We painted our kitchen cupboards with a grey chalk paint from annie sloan about 4 years ago. Here annie is using old ochre. Give it a few coats of chalk paint this kitchen has been painted with annie sloan s old white and once you are happy with the coverage go in with a low grade sandpaper and gently rub at any raised areas to create that shabby chic look that never seems to date. Paint the cupboards in your chosen chalk paint.
