Now, we're closer to Dayton. We found DJ on Craigslist in the Dayton area. Not sure if he's still doing side painting jobs but check out Craigslist! Mandy – Our previous home was closer to Cincy.

The kitchen has the same orangy-oak cabinets that drive me nuts. I also am dying for grey walls. Thank you for your step by step. I am planning on doing it all myself, as I don't want to pay $5000 for someone to paint my kitchen. I am also in Ohio. Wondering who DJ is and if you are in Cincinnati? So much thanks!

I am also contemplating painting my oak cabinets as well and have heard similar remarks...'You're painting OAK?!?!?' :) What did you do with your hinges? I couldn't tell from the pictures you posted?

When I saw your before pics, they were so similar to mine, I just knew it would work. I did all the painting myself, did the boxes one week then planned on hiring someone to spray the doors. The best price I could find was $1,000 - way more than I wanted to pay. I had 29 doors so it was quite labor intensive but I did it in 3 days and one of those days I was babysitting my 6 month old grandson. He helped as he just wanted to be held so I painted with one hand. I love them and I have before and after pics. Let me know if you would like to see them and how I would post them.

I know this post is quite old, but I just discovered your site tonight. I absolutely love your newly painted cabinets. Ive actually seen your completed kitchen pics and I love the whole thing. I swear its like looking at what I pictured in my mind as how I want to redo our kitchen, right down to the handles from Ikea and the cool built in shelving you created in your island! We, too, have builder grade birch (i think) cabinets in a honey color with a dark glazing effect. I absolutely cant stand them and I want so badly to paint them white. We have great appliances and countertops already as well as a nice deep undermount sink so so structual changes need to be made :). Im so glad to see that painting the cabinets will be as easy to tackle as I had imagined. I actually have a post going up on my blog on Monday about our kitchen delimma. I love your blog. Thanks so much for sharing! Hi there. I know this post is quite old, but I just discovered your site tonight. I absolutely love your newly painted cabinets.

I'd say to buy some handles you like, hold 'em up and eyeball placement before you decide. Cheri – I guess it all depends on the placement of your current knobs.
