Here we go...

Some of you may remember that Chad and I had our kitchen upgraded about a year ago. For those of you who do not remember, we replaced our white formica countertops with beautiful granite, our white tile backsplash with riverstone tile, and our peeling laminte floors with porcelain tile!!
Before

After

We talked about having our cheap builder grade cabinets painted and glazed, but we never got around to it!! So....we have decided to start this project...ourselves!! Watch out handy home decoraters, here we come!! We are not exactly sure what we are getting ourselves into except that it is going to be a horribly painful task!! I just want to sand the cabinets and start painting, which the guy at Sherwin Williams agreed was okay to do. Not my perfectionist husband!! He found a website that he trusts more than me and the sherwin williams guy!! He wants to clean the cabinets with some crazy chemically toxic cleaner, sand them, prime them, sand them again, and then start painting them white! Don't forget, after painting them white, I want to put a brown glaze on them to give them an antique look...we are still fighting out this one!! I'm sure I will have some wonderful stories for you!!

I can't wait to see the cabinets when you finish. Take pictures of each step!!! I would love to re-do ours, so I need all of your tips, once you get yours done.
