The Creative Orchard’s ORC KITCHEN RENOVATION progress...
This week I was supposed to paint the upper cabinets WHITE, which I did start on them but they are definitely not done yet. The lower cabinet color was much darker and it only took 2-3 coats but this time the Behr WHITE paint I'm using is not cooperating as well and I keep seeing the previous maple cabinet color bleeding from underneath. Maybe I should have used a primer? Or applied thicker coats? I don’t know. I guess I’ll keep layering more and more layers until it appears solid WHITE. I'll show a close-up and give you an update next week about how they turned out.
- Clean cabinet doors thoroughly
- Wipe Liquid Sandpaper all over surface
- Let dry completely
- Remove any leftover residue
- Using a small flat paint brush, PAINT the inside perimeter around the inner panel
- Using a smooth foam roller, paint all existing flat surfaces
- Continue painting multiple coats until you achieve a solid even color
- Let dry completely, wait 7 days to wash
- Replace all hardware and hinges
- Add bumper pad stickies if desired

On a positive note, the DEKTON countertop piece for the island finally got installed a few days later than the rest and it looks great! I really like the imperfections in it, reminds me of concrete.
