I retrieve I'm inwards due fourth dimension to write this post. My kitchen give away was done a twelvemonth ago, but the renovation took house inwards 2011, which agency I've been using the "new" kitchen for a twelvemonth together with a half.
So, this is the post where I'm going to respond those questions that I'm beingness asked most frequently, similar these, that I establish at my electronic mail or inwards the comments:
Are y'all happy amongst your painted cabinets? Jill
Do the pigment remain on together with non chip off? Are they also difficult to maintain? Amscon
How the pigment chore on the cabinets has held upward amongst daily use? Rochelle
Everyday morn my kids together with the married adult man develop their breakfast, together with I develop dinner for the whole solid unit of measurement most days of the week, lets nation our kitchen gets a normal use.
Since the most oftentimes asked query is nearly the paint, why non beak nearly that first.
This is the normal prototype demonstrate y'all larn to see, right? From a distance. But y'all can't come across the pigment chore upward close.
Well, let's larn closer. Like, 1 big footstep away from this upper cabinet. It all the same looks fine from here.
Let me opened upward the correct door to accept a meliorate expect at it amongst the aid of the exterior light. One footstep away from the door, it looks alright. Zooming inwards y'all tin come across the grain. That's the respond to some other oftentimes asked question. Does the grain on the painted oak cabinets shows a lot? Does it bother you?
It does show. I guide hold actually practiced eye-sight together with fifty-fifty from a non also brusque of a distance I tin come across the grain, but it doesn't bother me.
Now onto the pigment itself. I painted the cabinets using brushes together with footling rollers together with I was also very afraid of ending upward amongst a pretty lousy job. My worst fearfulness was to terminate upward with chipped paint within the cabinets because it had happened to me before. Long fourth dimension agone I painted a cabinet but when the items that were stored within came off amongst pieces of pigment on them, it was very disappointing!
This fourth dimension together with later 1 twelvemonth together with a one-half of using them, I'm happy non to guide hold that problem!
Now onto the exterior of the cabinets. Again, the same upper cabinet, that's where the spectacles are stored, my kids usage this 1 a lot. As I said, from a big footstep away it looks OK. the closer I larn the to a greater extent than I tin come across footling marks around the knobs. Some minor chip offs.
The same affair happens to this base of operations cabinet. That's the 1 nosotros usage the most. The trash tin is stored on the correct together with it clearly shows the wear.
I blame my missy for this problem, her finger nails are non also long, non also short, but they are the sharpest finger nails I've always seen!
The balance of the cabinets are doing OK. They demand to last cleaned to a greater extent than often, merely because white shows more, non because the forest color cabinets I had earlier didn't larn dirty. Overall it is non a big task.
The nighttime color on the isle also lets dust together with dirt be easily seen. Paint has chipped off a flake on the drawer belongings the silvery ware, together with the kids guide hold made some marks on the front end usage of the isle piece spinning on the chairs, but inwards full general it is OK.
I am extremely happy amongst the wooden projects I did. The bookcase at the terminate of the island, the hit hood, the fridge cabinet, all the moldings, everything is belongings upward nicely, I haven't fifty-fifty needed to re-caulk those areas.
No problem whatsoever either on the quartz counter-tops or the marble back-splash.
The CB2 pendant low-cal is 1 of those fixtures that gets together with then much attending together with equally together with then many of you, I similar it too. My big complain on that 1 is that, Oh Boy! It gets dusty together with then quickly! If I desire to come across those globes crystal clear all the fourth dimension I demand to produce clean them upward every month! The terminal fourth dimension I cleaned them was earlier the Holidays, mid-December... Is less than ii months together with y'all tin come across how foggy they look.
In general, I'm pretty satisfied amongst the function done. If for some argue I guide hold to bargain amongst some other builders aeroplane oak kitchen, I would non hesitate to pigment it again. It is a irksome but rewarding job.
Being able to larn from this:
To this:
I'm already thinking nearly prototype the cabinets a novel color, good non merely yet. Right similar a shot I guide hold to larn together with produce clean those globes!
