Make sure they are clean and dry. Remove the doors and hardware. Mark the doors and cabinets with tape where they go. Lightly sand the doors and cabinets to remove any gloss and roughen the surface for paint with 120- to 220-grit sandpaper. Use a tack cloth or damp rag to remove dust after sanding. Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123, KILZ,or BIN and have it tinted to the color of the top coat. This will prevent dark or stained surfaces from showing through the top coat. Acrylic, or water-base, paints are low-fume and clean up easily with water. Alkyd, or oil-base, paints require good ventilation because the paint contains solvents that can irritate your lungs and make you feel sick. Alkyd options require mineral spirits for cleanup, but they provide a hard, durable paint finish. Whichever you use, buy the best-quality paint you can afford for a lasting kitchen cabinet finish. Seal with at least three coats with a water based polyurethane. Use a small foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.
Hi, I would paint them a lighter color! I would also try to de clutter some as that can make your workspace and kitchen seem much smaller. try a nice large colorful bowl on the counter that could hold all the fruits and veggies and would also keep the dog away from them. Hope this helps!
After re-doing the cupboards, train the dog to stay out of the kitchen. I have never let any of my dogs in the kitchen - also, I don't let little children in the kitchen - for fear of my turning around and accidentally stepping on them or spilling something hot on them. This rule in my household has kept down all accidents for over 52 yrs and has prevented things from being pulled off or touched on the counters.
