In retrospect though, if I were gonna do it again, I think I'd remove the doors and hire a cabinet company to spray the paint on. They can add something into the paint that makes it so much more durable. But I did so love those cabinets. It was worth the work :) Jessica,

I'm about to paint Y cabinets, and that no sanding stuff sounds awesome. I've been trying to explain to my husband the color scheme I had in my head and I'm thrilled to be able to show him the finished product! I was just wondering how these are holding up now?

I'm about to begin my own cabinet painting journey and I'm quite nervous about it but I live in an 80's house that really needs a little lift. After you painted them, did you put a layer of poly on them? Thanks for any advice/tips you can provide! Best wishes!

Thank you for sharing.  It's fabulous.
