- We remodeled our Kitchen using Unfinished Stock Cabinets from Lowes. It gave us a custom look without spending a lot of money! In this video we share how we painted them with Benjamin Moore paint to get the look we wanted. It was easy and turned out amazing!
I'm loving this series of videos you and your husband pull up together, it is very detailed and useful. Thank you
Thank you I am so glad they have been useful for you! Thanks for watching!
Love the color you chose! It compliments your floors so well.
Thank you!
Getting ready to remodel my kitchen. I found lots of helpful tips from your videos!
Great! Thank you for watching and commenting. Good luck on your project!
Great video! I’ll be making a nice garage workbench with these cabinets and you have convinced me to paint them with a roller instead of a sprayer. Thanks!
Thanks! Good luck!
Simple straightforward explanation👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!!! This was so helpful 😄
Thank you Pamela! I am so glad it helped you!
Thanks so much for sharing all this info- soo helpful! We have a DIY kitchen island going, and used Lowe's cabinets, so this helps guide me to painting it! :)
I am so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting! Good luck on your project!
Did it turn out well? ❤️
Thank you for posting,I am a pretty handy carpenter, I really want a few custom things in my kitchen but yet not have to build all the cabinets,found some great all wood maple raw cabinets about same price as the lowes (walnut) and I beleive the option of painting them opens up much more oppertunity to customize some cabs,trim etc much cheaper,same with Faux doors and such on island etc..I can build those things and paint them much cheaper,it is crazy how much they want for just finished trim alone.Done many things but never painted Cabinets lol.Your Cabinets look great. Again Thank you so much for the great advice on the kind of paint you used and all the tips.
Thanks Mel! Good luck on your projects. It is nice to see what we can accomplish with some hard work!
That’s awesome! I’m going to purchase unfinished cabinets for my remodel .
Thanks! Good luck on your remodel!
Amazing job thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Nice techniques. I mainly found it interesting that you read the directions (and followed them). Nice results! I bet you can read a map and will even stop and ask for directions when not sure how to get where you want to go. You guys have a cool thing going on, should be very proud.
Thanks!
my local home depot has these on clearance 50% off, 1/9/2022 I got them to redo a kitchen thanks for the tutorial
That is great! Good luck on your project. Glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Great video! I am planning to replace my base cabinets which are not in good shape, but not my upper which are in very good shape.
Was wondering about painting both upper and lower to match, and really liking the idea (and price) of the unfinished cabinets
This was really helpful! We're about to tackle a much smaller project with a wet bar and am interested in using the unfinished stock cabinets. From the video, it looks like you installed the bases and then painted them once installed. Did I get that right? Therefore you didn't worry about painting the walls of the cabinets that are unseen, right? And you painted them right there in the kitchen once installed? Just want to make sure I have the process down. Thanks again!
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate how to paint these unfinished cabinets. Just an FYI, it was very hard to hear you.
We just purchased a rental and we are going with the unfinished cabinets as well. A couple of questions, do you do any light sanding between coats of using self leveling paint? Also, what is the finished sheen, it was hard to makeout from the video. Your cabinets look AWESOME! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks! Yes on the sanding. Paint is satin. Check out my video on painting the cabinets, it gives all the details.
Nice!
Thanks!
What specific Benjamin Moore paint did you use? I'm looking at their Advance product but they have several in store.
Great job! How did you attach the shiplap?
Thanks! We used a brad nailer and filled the tiny holes with wood putty before painting. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great Job, the Whole kitchen looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
Could you please tel me what is the name of the color you used on the bottom cabinets?!
Thanks million
Thank you. I am sorry it is a custom color so I don’t have a name. I found a cabinet door sample that I liked the color of at Home Depot and had them color match a sample of paint for me. I then took it to Ace hardware and had them color match it in Benjamin Moore paint.
You did a really nice job with these cabinets. Did they take a lot of sanding? Which grit sand paper did you use if you don’t mind me asking.
Thanks! They didn’t take much sanding at all. I just used fine paper I believe 220. Of course some might be different from ours but I was happy with how smooth they were.
@@maggiescottagediy6107 I agree. I think the smoothness looks perfect! Do you know the finish of the paint? Is it semi-gloss?
Nice job! Did any debris get on them while painting them outside? And if yes, how were you able to get the debris off. Thanks again and great job 😊 beautiful!
Thank you! I painted them on my patio where I put up sheets that hung down on the sides of the patio because of the hot sun! This helped keep them clean. After leaving overnight I would dust off and I never had any problems with debris. You can do the paint inside if needed but not the primer. You also need to lightly sand between coats which could help but if anything gets on them it should just easily come off.
@@maggiescottagediy6107 you’re awesome! Thanks again! I’ve liked and sub’ed 😊
Hi! Thinking about doing this too. How have the cabinets been holding up after 2 years? Any chipping or issues you’ve encountered with them? Are they easy to clean?
They have held up really well, no issues.
Did you paint the cabinet bases in place ?
Yes we did! We took the doors off and painted them outside.
Thanks for the video
What is the name of the primer ?
I use Zinser primer which you can get tinted if desired.. Thanks for watching!
The only thing I didn't like mine after paint was you could still see the grain of the wood, just not as smooth as I was hoping. Looks great love the color. Can't complain though since the price of these cabinets is right
Sorry they weren’t as smooth as you had wanted. I was very pleased with ours they were smooth and the grain was really not noticeable unless you looked really close. It certainly is a reasonable priced way to get new cabinets. Thanks for watching and commenting!
If you use a grain filler it will get as smooth as you want
Great idea!
I chose to buy a unfinished base sink cabinet,60 in wide instead of combining 2 cabinets to get this width for my island.Only problem is it didn't come in white,I had to buy the unfinished type and paint it,which I didn't care to paint.But for $40 a gallon of paint I saved myself over $200 by doing this.
What should you wipe these cabinets down with before painting them?
Why so stingy with the paint on the brush and roller? (you were leaving streaks where there was no paint) Could you see any grain from the wood showing through the paint when you were done? Does this paint have a matte or a satin look when dry??
Thanks for watching. I wasn’t stingy with the paint it was just the right amount you don’t want to get too much on right away because to make it a nice smooth finish it is better to do several coats sanding in between so it looks more professional. If you see the finished product it looks nice and smooth. You may see a little grain depending on the wood. Mine showed very little grain only noticeable if you looked very close. I used a satin finish in this paint you can get whatever finish you want. It is a very good paint that is self leveling.
Which wood is it? Thanks
They are unfinished cabinets from Lowes, probably oak.
What's the brand and name of the color paint you used?
It is Benjamin Moore Alkloyd enamel. The bottom color is a custom color we had color matched and top is Simple White.
@@maggiescottagediy6107 love the color. Thinking of doing the same look for my dry bar in my basement
Good for you for using Ace Hardware. Ace Hardware is 100 times better than Home Dumpo
We love the Benjamin Moore paint!
Don’t you have to put primer first ?
Yes we did prime them. I talk about that in the video. I used Zinser tinted grey.
If you buy a good quality paint,you shouldn't have to prime it.
It is recommended to prime raw wood to help the paint go on smooth and to help cover up imperfections. I used a really good paint but stilled primed mine. I like the way they turned out.
That's not true if you want to make them look professional. In fact, I would use oil based primer and either oil based enamel or oil based lacquer paint. It won't chip or wear for decades.
The paint industry has come a looong way over the years! You don’t have to use oil paint to get professional and long lasting results
Perhaps it is useful, but background music is very irritating.
I can't hear you!
Sorry not sure why, others haven't had trouble hearing. Thanks for watching.
I could barely hear you
