Repainting Bathroom Cabinets- Quick and EASY

This was one of the fastest mini makeover's ever- repainting the old bathroom cabinets white for a fresh updated look. I used Primer and Sealer, which doesn't require sanding first. I wish I had tried it sooner!

    I did this in my kitchen and what a transformation. If doing a bigger project, remove your doors and drawers and all hardware. Be sure you number each peace so you know exactly where it goes.Believe me it will make it go smoother.

    question, I need new cabinet fronts in my bathroom. If I take them to Home Depot will they make them for me? They have been painted, and repainted..really need to be replaced..what about the drawer fronts, too? thanks.

    You score a big A+...they look so much better and did not cost a fortune.

    Maybe add some unusual knobs...

    Sherry R - Home depot may not make them, but will probably be able to recommend a handyman who can. Another option is if you have a Habitat for Humanity resale store (or something similar) nearby you may be able to find door replacements for a fraction of the cost.

    Much, much brighter and so very clean looking! Nice job! I always say paint is the cheapest, easiest way to make a change for the better!

    We had to take ours to a cabinet maker to be made. Extremely pleased with our new doors and drawer fronts. Our cabinets were wood and in really good condition. They look really good and updated now.

    I did the same thing with both my bathroom cabinets and my kitchen cabinets also. Could not believe the difference it made. Painted the hardware black.

    Lee S- I didn't... because it was the first coat, and I was a little lazy, haha. But that is the best way to go, for a very smooth finish.

    Looks great! @Lee - If you use a high quality paint (Valspar) there will be no brush marks. I have used it on many pieces of furniture in my house.

    Did you have to put a sealer over the paint to protect it from chipping?
