Learning how to paint your kitchen cabinets may seem intimidating at first but it really was such a breeze. I m painting the rest an espresso color. I ve got a few more secrets from allison s kitchen coming up later this week. Painted melamine base cabinets.

It makes the paint go on more smoothly and evenly so less brush strokes. I love chalk paint. I also painted a thin layer of clear shellac over the wood before painting with the chalk paint. I did polycrylic the kitchen table and it s not as hard a top coat as i would have preferred and there.

You will have to do more layers but it helped me so much to obtain a smooth finish.
