Cabinets Done!

Just to remind you, this is the kitchen cabinets before:

              

                     

And here are the kitchen cabinets now:

I used Behr Premium Paint and Primer in one, in Bleached Linen (satin finish). I know some think it's better to use a higher gloss finish but I decided not to since my countertops are already pretty glossy-looking. Not to mention the fact that the cabinets were in less than perfect condition and hi-gloss would have just accentuated the imperfections.

I still need to paint the baseboards and floor trim but we plan to remove the old linoleum floor and replace with ceramic tile. I'm also putting in a subway tile backsplash -- maybe travetine or something with texture.

Do you think I did ok? Comments and feedback always welcome! Thanks!

Kitchen Cabinet Update

This is just a taste of what I've been up to! Trying so hard to get my kitchen cabinets painted but it's tough when they're so old and nasty. Here's what I have to do:

1. Remove cabinets doors and all hardware- done
2. Thoroughly clean all cabinets and framing
3. Fill in holes and/or drill new ones. On all the cabinets, I'm replacing what were pulls with knobs. I'm using pulls on all the drawers but some drawers had knobs instead of pulls.
4. Sand thoroughly
5. Clean again
6. Paint (using Behr Paint and Primer in One in Bleached Linen, satin finish)
7. Paint again, and again, and maybe again just to touch up
8. Install new hardware and hang cabinets

Here's my progress:
