2.9.11 Kitchen Redo

This is not my kitchen but the cabinets are almost the exact same color as the ones in my kitchen. Time for a makeover! I did not want to take apart and sand my cabinets (lazy, right?) so I chose to use this Zissner cover stain. It is amazing stuff!

You can find it at Lowe's. It covers and creates a surface that will be ready for your paint!

Here is my kitchen with a base coat in process.
I decided to do two coats just to be sure my surface was prepared.

After one evening of drying time, I started painting my cabinets. I decided to go with Valspar paint from Lowe's. I chose Kettle Black.

After two coats of Kettle Black, I covered my cabinets with a coat of Valspar clear coat.
This gave my cabinets another layer of protection.

Here are my finished cabinets! I am very pleased with the final product!

Conference Table Repaint 6.10.22

My office had dated, heavy, cherry office furniture. I wanted a more modern, relaxed styled office. The conference table has a great basic style so I decided to paint it to match. Before I used Zinsser cover stain to prep the wood surface. I love this cover stain because it doesn’t require any sanding! It’s an oil based primer and works fabulously! I used 2 coats using a trim roller on the large parts and a brush for the nooks and crannies. I applied 2 coats for full coverage. I’ve used this process on my kitchen cabinets and they still look great with no chips.

I waited a few hours in between coats for ample dry time. Finally, I applied 2 clear coats to seal and protect the paint from wear. After:

Emily's Teacher Rocking Chair

This rocking chair was created as a gift for my student teacher, Emily. The rocking chair was painted with the colors of her new classroom. Emily loves owls so I painted a cute owl on the back part of the chair. Students helped me paint the rest of the chair after 2 coats of primer. I probably could've just done 1 coat of primer but went with 2! Materials from Lowes: Zinnser's 1-2-3 spray primer 3 cans Valspar Jekyll Crane Cottage Green (Green) Valspar Boysenberry Jam (Purple) Valspar Water Fountain (Blue) Valspar Swim (Aqua) Valspar clear coat Brushes various sized Plastic drop cloths
