Hi, Sherry!
Kitchen cabinets are easy to paint but also require a bit of prep work for a lasting finish. Start by cleaning the cabinets with TSP (tri-sodium phosphate or TSP substitute). Once they are fully dry, use a good primer and a quality brush to apply a base coat, then use two to three coats of paint. There are also cabinet refinishing kits available that can be tinted to many different colors or wood shades. I hope this helps!
Remove all hardware, drawers and doors. Mark on back where they go. Wash all down with TSP, then sand if sheen. Prime with oil based primer. Lightly sand again with 220 grit . wipe clean, paint 2 coats of oil based paint in satin or semi gloss. Note, the higher the sheen the more washable it is.
