How do I paint my kitchen/bathroom cabinets without sanding them?

First, clean them really well - use a good degreaser. Next you will need to use primer, especially since they are cherry. Here's a link that you will find helpful:

You can use chalk paint! Dixie Belle is a great paint and self levels very well, so less brush strokes. Also requires no sanding.

You can use chalk paint. Be sure to CLEAN a the cabinets with a cleaner like Krud Kutter tsp, don’t skip that prep step!

I wouldn't go with chalk paint. You still have to seal the chalk paint, and I would not recommend not sanding either. Sanding should not take long at all. 1-2 minutes of scuff sanding each door will make a huge difference in the paint sticking to the door.

Chalk paint has to be sealed, so you can seal it with water-based poly, but wax is not a good option for cabinets.

Personally, sherwin williams emerald urethane or benjamin moore advance is a better option. You will still need to prime with a good bonding primer, but the enamel paint dries hard.

You could also use fusion mineral paint.
