OUR $75 CHALK PAINT CABINET TRANSFORMATION | No Sanding!

* * EXPAND FOR LINKS TO PRODUCTS USED 👇

We have owned this house for just about one year and I'm here to share how we completely transformed our kitchen cabinets for right around $75. Our contractor advised ripping them all out and replacing with new (to the tune of around $10 G's) but we decided to try a little paint first and the results speak for themselves.

Rustoleum Chalked Paint (Linen White) x 2 = $40
Minwax Polycrylic (Clear Satin) = $18
Liquid Sander = $8
Foam Roller = $5
Paint Brush = $4

TOTAL= $75

As I mentioned in the video, the island is part of a set of cabinets we purchased at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. The color is Sherwin Williams Ovation, Evergreen Boughs, however... I had a sample made when choosing a color and they accidentally gave me a mis-tint. Turned out I loved the mis-tint! So while the color is Evergreen Boughs, there are a couple different formulas that come up on the Lowes system. This is the exact formula for one quart: 101-1Y42.25, 111-31.75, 203-8.25.

The cabinets really do look great!! It's nice to know that chalk paint can withstand the everyday use in a kitchen. I've been wanting to use the paint on other projects and now I feel more confident doing so. Thank you for sharing!

Congratulations on one year in your new home!! When we updated our kitchen, we also decided to paint and it made all the difference in the world. Our house was built in the late '70's so avocado green and harvest gold were all the rage. Yikes! Now it's a nice neutral stone and beige color with new ceramic floors. My kitchen is my favorite room in the whole house. AND my husband did all the remodeling himself. He's a great guy!

Hi Hilary! How are you kitchen cabinets holding up? You've inspired me to use the Rustoleum chalk paint to do my kitchen cabinets. This just seems so much easier than any other video I've watched.

[AnnDunnington]

They look great, my friend! I’m inspired to paint ours now!

[beckyfischer]

I am so inspired by all that you and Dan have done to your home. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am wanting to change the color of my cabinets and you have inspired me to do so. Thank you for telling me about the hinges. When I take down my cupboard doors I will label the hinges. I am in love with your channel. Your can do attitude has me thinking that I can do it also. You have given me the inspiration to do things in my home. Thank you for the inspiration. Sending hugs to you and the girls.

Hinge memory--- yes, that is definitely a thing!!! Otherwise you sit there trying every possible combination! Polyacrylic is my absolute favorite sealer--- no yellowing! I use it on everything!
