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!

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!
