Nice video, its a great improvement! You can apply a matt glaze coat to the doors that will help them resist stains and marks and make them easier to clean. It will help keep your kitchen looking good in the long run. Also, next time you remove doors, you don't need to remove the hinges from the doors. Those cupboard hinges actually clip apart so you don't cause any damage to the screw holes and don't have any alignment issues. Keep up videos!
Thank you for such amazing and detailed video , really helpful especially when I was looking at applying the same idea. Keep sharing the valuable videos
Wow, wow 😍👏 this turned out so beautifully, you have really outdone yourself. The time lapse make things look so simple and quick but that clock on the wall is telling the real story and going round and round with the passing minutes and hours 😅😅
You really like using your hands and they always create magic. I always watch your videos even though I know its things I will never even attempt to do, but they are so calming.
Lehlohonolo Khumalo oh I’m so glad you replied. I’ve been searching for you on Instagram but I can’t find you. I know you always mention your handle but maybe I don’t get it right. What is your IG handle?
Hi lady, great video and good job!! did you also sand the cupboards that are on the wall was the process the same (not the ones you took down) also what would happen if you paint while the cupboards are still up and not taken out
I have been planning to do this because I honestly don’t have money for a new kitchen. Is there a glossy paint though? Thank you so much for this video I’m now inspired highly
Very true I've bn asking myclf d samething ukuth aibo where dd my sis gone to.. I was beginning to suspect my fone deleted her mistakenly. Ngiyamthanda nami
Love it!... Maybe try and put in some knobs or some handles to create more interest (depending on your esthetic of course) and to save yourself the stress of having to think twice every time you have to open the cupboard. But it's really awesome. Good job!
Thanks for this video. Definitely trying it out. My cupboards are turquoise(they were already in that colour when we bought the house), I really want to change them will I need to sand it more (until they are pale pale) or once should be fine?
Hi Lehlohonolo I'm so tempted to paint my dark brown TV stand to white, do you think this method will work? Or should I use white spray paint??? 😭 Amazing work!!!
Hi Tshego. Thank you. I think it all depends on the the type of surface you're working with. For a large piece of furniture I'd recommend paint and using a primer before
Hi Hlogi For a sec I really felt like giving you a hug when u were not sure about the decision you took to paint the cupboards But honestly you really did a great job I personally loved how it looks now Love you tons 😉
did you apply a sealer, poly acrylic over the chalk paint? you are suppose to seal it to protect the finish from oils and chips. seal the chalk paint and the problem with transmitting oil from hands won't be a problem
😍It look so prettier but how were you allowed to paint your apartment cupboards? Did you buy the apartment? Or the landlord allowed you to paint the cupboard?
Omg i used to stay in this apartment. Oh how i miss the high ceilings and the natural light. First apartment with bae. You did an absolutely lovely job sisi.
you did an amazing job!! oh my word! not to forget the time. skill. patience. The after is beautiful!! From watching this i realised i am not the girl to do this, but i def enjoyed watching.Thank you for sharing the makeover with us : )
painting kitchen cabinets its ALOT of work... did LITERALLY the same colour for my parents kitchen (even though I wish it was 2 shades darker) but there is something exhilarating when you see the final product. Well done mami on a good job!!!
Firstly, wow 🤩 well done! Secondly, I’m inspired to try my hand at DIY home projects after seeing it down by a SA’n. Signed Blake on IG does great work but she’s American so it hits different. Third, how did you decide on the colour??
Gurrrrrl u braveeeee and it paid out❤️. I moved to a new space and i hate my bathroom tile color 😒was think of painting it white with black floor BT hai buti hubby is not trusting the process🤣🤣🤣 love you work, keep it coming.
You should seal the paint with a matte clear coat since you arent using it as a chalkboard. That way youll be able to wipe it down without damaging the paint😇 the matte is so beautiful but such a pain in The ass to keep clean
Nice video, its a great improvement!

Hi lady, great video and good job!! did you also sand the cupboards that are on the wall was the process the same (not the ones you took down) also what would happen if you paint while the cupboards are still up and not taken out
How is the paint now in 2024 will you advise one to paint there cabinets?
I have been planning to do this because I honestly don’t have money for a new kitchen. Is there a glossy paint though? Thank you so much for this video I’m now inspired highly

Lehlogonolo Jacqueline right? And require minimal budget
I love love love the final product 😍 I love the colour!
Vuyisile Dlamini thank you
Love it! Looks a lot brighter
It looks great. Did you wax after painting? That helps with making the paint grease and waterproof
I didn't *hides* lol. I'm going to
Hi Lehlohonolo
I'm so tempted to paint my dark brown TV stand to white, do you think this method will work? Or should I use white spray paint??? 😭
Amazing work!!!
Hi Tshego. Thank you.
I think it all depends on the the type of surface you're working with. For a large piece of furniture I'd recommend paint and using a primer before
You so beautiful,and I love your work,I also wanna paint my tv stand but eish I dont know if it will look as professional as all your DIY projects
Thank you. You can do it!
Hi Hlogi
For a sec I really felt like giving you a hug when u were not sure about the decision you took to paint the cupboards
But honestly you really did a great job I personally loved how it looks now
Love you tons
😉
Gomolemo Rangaka thank you. I would have really appreciated that hug 😂😂😂
Turned out so great 💃🏽💃🏽
Thank you
11:05 Did you seal the paint with a protective top coat. it actually helps a lot. i thing Builder has one.
It helps the paint not wipe off?
I haven't yet. Thanks for the tip :)
Yes, and it helps with the transfer of finger grease.
How do you go about cleaning the paint stains on your clothes? I am still struggling with a paint stain on my clothes
did you apply a sealer, poly acrylic over the chalk paint? you are suppose to seal it to protect the finish from oils and chips. seal the chalk paint and the problem with transmitting oil from hands won't be a problem
I haven't, but planning to once I get time to sneak it in.
It turned out so beautiful. Love your content, keep up the amazing work ❤
Debra Rakgetsi thank you 🙏🏾
😍It look so prettier but how were you allowed to paint your apartment cupboards? Did you buy the apartment? Or the landlord allowed you to paint the cupboard?
Vuyo Gqola thank you. I bought the place 😊 So I can do any changes that don’t interfere with water and electricity lines
Omg i used to stay in this apartment. Oh how i miss the high ceilings and the natural light. First apartment with bae. You did an absolutely lovely job sisi.
Zimkita Mahanjana thank you Sis ❤️ Didn’t you struggle getting curtains 😂😂😂
At some point I thought you will end painting the back splash . Beautiful.
Lol. I want to change it though. Thank you
And that back splash is 🔥👌 gosh your kitchen is everything sis ❤️
The grey looks so nice!!! I kind of like it with the grey backsplash but I’d love to see how it will look with the white. Well done 🤩

Millicent B. Madingwana thank you
IT LOOKS AMAZING😍😍😍😍 Look how the kitchen has so much light. I love it. Great job. Wow
Vhuthuhawe Masakona thank you 🙏🏾 it does reflect more light neh
Hey, have you considered adding a protective seal on the cabinets? It makes the paint not transfer when you touch or wipe it. You can use wax or poly.
That's actually on my to do list :) Because wow, they are high maintenance
It turned out so beautiful ❤️ in love.
Thank you
Well done 👌🏾 you did a really great job
Really enjoyed this video. Laughed with you and freaked out with you the whole time. Was relieved when it all turned out well. :) Amazing job!

Hi, What's sugar soap?
It's a cleaning detergent that removes grease and grime, you can get it from most hardware stores
Wow😍😍
You should seal the paint with a matte clear coat since you arent using it as a chalkboard. That way youll be able to wipe it down without damaging the paint😇 the matte is so beautiful but such a pain in The ass to keep clean
Tori Sharba thank you 🙏🏾 Will definitely do that
Nice
