Repainting the master bath cabinets

I got a wild hair last Thursday afternoon to just quick repaint the master bath cabinets. As I lighten up my house I feel like every single room is too dark. This bathroom included. So, it took a couple of hours...quick paint, let dry, keep the kids out of everything, paint, dry, don't let Gus touch the cabinets, and final coat of paint.

Fortunately the oops paint I picked up was a quick dry paint! And when you do several very thin layers, it dries quickly.

These are the cabinets before any paint, last year about this time. I added the beadboard wallpaper to the fronts of the doors.



Here are the classy black cabinets after:


They look nice, but just really dark...Especially with dark blue/gray walls.



Here they are this morning. I grabbed a bunch of new pulls from my stash in the garage.


Much brighter and happier. Please ignore my shaky hands and non-image stabilizer lens.


So, for zero dollars, I updated my bathroom to bright and cheery!

Gotta love a quick change!

  1. Nice change - I am actually thinking about doing the same thing! Did you have to sand them down first?

  2. So light and bright! I love them. You know I love black painted things, but I think this room called for a lighter shade. Beautiful!
