How do I cover or paint my kitchen laminate cupboards into a shaker style or modern style and white or just off white or even egg shell blue. I hate my fake walnut laminate kitchen cupboards that are 33 years old and I do not have money to replace the doors and this project has to be done on a small tight budget. Thank you

Hi Michelle, here's a lovely video that will show you how to paint your laminate kitchen cupboards - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_nfB27o3WQ
Take a good photo ( or better yet a sample piece) to the paint dept. at your home improvement store and ask for their professional advice on materials and application methods.
Reface the cabinets! Paint the base of the cupboards and buy or make the doors into a shaker style.
I've painted my cabinets and refaced my cabinets. Allow yourself enough time, but totally doable and so rewarding.

Hi Michelle! Painting laminate cabinets is a great way to update them! Annie Sloan chalk paint adheres great to laminate cabinets! AND you do not have to prime or sand beforehand. :)
