It did take ages and I would say looks 'rustic' in places as a result... if you can spray paint that may be a better option!

Each door ...Hi lovebug rita - thanks for your post! Each door did need around 4 coats outside and 3 or 4 inside, so it takes work but well worth it for an inexpensive change. I used 'champagne' colour cupboard paint, roughly £14 per tin and for the whole kitchen I guess we have used 3 tins. My latest post shows you how it looks now - I have just 4 doors to do - it's been a labour or love but has ensured the 'need' for a new kitchen has calmed down as this will be fine for us!Sophie Gisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362731913384016146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956590283954337779.post-35388827762017859772010-07-28T13:12:54.130-07:002010-07-28T13:12:54.130-07:00Amazing what some paint can do.
