Hi Julieann,
If you're painting wood cabinets I find the best paint to use is Benjamin Moore Advance. "For starters, it's an alkyd paint". "Which means it dries very hard and can stand up to lots of abuse without chipping or scratching." I also love this particular paint because it levels out well (no weird bumps or ripples!), covers dark wood with just two (or sometimes three) coats, is low VOC (a fancy way of saying it won't stink up the room), and is almost $20 cheaper per can compared to competitive brands. Plus, they say other professionals swear by the same stuff — and yes, you can get it in any color you like. Hope this helps!
Sherwin Williams has quality paint. At their store they can give you the best recommendations
You can use most interior paints, you don't need a specific type.
We painted ours with chalk paint and it's lasting beautifully
Glad you had a positive outcome
