I have ugly brown kitchen cabinets, that I would like to paint white for the upper, and gray for the lower. How do I begin? Is this something I can tackle alone, or will I need help? Thank you

Hi Laura. It is definitely a big job but can be done by a diyer for sure. If you unsure of how it will turn out, you could try doing one door to see how easy/hard it will be and whether you like it or not. You can even pick up a salvaged kitchen door at a reuse shop and do that one first to get an idea of how much work it will be. Here is a post with all of the details on how to do it... https://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/cabinets/how-to-paint-kitchen-cabinets-the-perfect-white-42078852 Good luck!

Thorough Prep work is essential.
I would take off the doors & drawers do that can be painted horizontally. Remove hinges and pulls.
Be sure and label them, so you recall where they go, later.
