Before beginning, remove all cabinet doors and drawers from the frames and set aside any hardware. Thoroughly wipe down the cabinets and frames with a damp cloth. Be sure to pay special attention to any accumulated dirt or grease, and make sure to clean off all surfaces completely. Once this step is done, you are ready for painting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Painting_the_Cabinets\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painting the Cabinets<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodsmith.com\/review\/roller-stand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using a roller stand<\/a> for stability, begin by applying two thin coats of water-based primer on the frames and doors. To get an even finish, use long strokes when applying primer and always go in the same direction. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before moving on to the next step. Once dry, use two more thin layers of water-based paint in the same manner as before. Use light, feathery strokes when applying paint for an even finish. Give each coat plenty of time to dry before moving on to the next step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Replacing_Cabinet_Hardware\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacing Cabinet Hardware<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a truly updated look, consider replacing your old hardware with new pieces. Measure and purchase new knobs or pulls in whatever style suits your taste and d\u00e9cor. To install, simply use screws that fit your newly purchased pieces and attach them in place of the old hardware.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Finishing_Touches\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finishing Touches<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once all of your pieces are painted, and your hardware is installed, it&#8217;s time for some finishing touches! Add a few fresh coats of varnish to further protect your new paint job from scratches and wear and tear. To give your cabinets an extra pop of color, add new molding pieces or stencil around any frames or drawers for more detail, depending on your desired look. And there you have it; a beautiful cabinet makeover without sanding or stripping!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your kitchen cabinets are one of the most frequently used items in your home, so why not update them and make them look as good as new?
