![]() (Another note: I did have paint left over from the gallon I purchased.) It’s a much more cost-effective way of completing this project instead of going out and purchasing another kit. The color and finish of Behr Premium Plus Ultra Satin Finish in Pure White matched perfectly. IMPORTANT: For me, the Rust-Oleum kit did not have enough bond coat paint for me to do my entire kitchen (my cabinets needed 4 coats), so that’s why I went out and purchased a gallon of the Behr paint. I knew the kit performed well for our bathroom vanities and held up, so I just went for it. This gave me the confidence to use the kit on our kitchen. Our half bath vanity is holding up well with the Pure White color, too. I started out painting our master vanity white (the color that came in the kit) but didn’t like the way it looked in the space, so I went and bought a small amount of Sherwin Williams Ellie Gray (actually it was the Behr Premium Plus Ultra from Home Depot tinted to match Ellie Gray), and then sealed it with the top coat in the kit. I used it last year to paint our bathroom vanity in master bath and downstairs half bath. The Rust-Oleum kit was something I was familiar with. Your best bet is to locate it online to make sure it’s in stock and then purchase in store. If you buy it online from, you’ll need to get it tinted in store. You must get the bond color tinted, even if you are buying the Pure White kit (which is what I bought). I definitely recommend you do this! Get on YouTube and search for people painting their cabinets dark to white with the kit. I did a ton of research beforehand and watched a lot of videos on this kit before using it the first time. The kit is very user-friendly and straightforward. This is a kit that comes with a deglosser (you do this first instead of sanding cabinets), a bond coat (the actual color the cabinets will be), a protective topcoat, and an optional glaze (I did not use this). Let’s first talk about the kit – the Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations Kit. My Experience with Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations Kit Mini paint rollers and extra roller heads.1 Gallon of Behr Premium Plus Ultra Satin Finish in Pure White.Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations Kit in Pure White.Here are all of the supplies I used to paint my cabinets. The most tedious part for sure was the cabinets. How I Painted My Kitchen Cabinets without Sanding I took my kitchen walls from a much darker taupe down to the Agreeable Gray color. It always looks perfect in any lighting situation. I don’t like grays that pull too blue, and this one never does. I used Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray in the space – the color we have almost everywhere else in our house. Painting the Wallsįirst, the easy part – the walls. Now, let’s get into all of the details of each aspect of this project! I’m going to tell you exactly what I did to paint, and how I did it. ![]() Well, friends, I finished ON her birthday. I told myself I would finish before my daughter Caroline’s birthday weekend. You could easily knock this project out in a long weekend if you had help and time. ![]() Painting the backsplash is the shortest time commitment (and also time sensitive – must be done in one day). I had the kids home for the summer and I still needed to work from home. It took me about 3 weeks to complete the entire project. To hold me over, I was determined to freshen up the space with some paint. Reconfigure some things, knock some walls down, put a big island in, etc. In an ideal world, I’d love to do a total remodel in my kitchen. ![]() Last year’s renovations were a huge expense and we just can’t finance anything else for a while. Last year, we did a huge remodel in our home and installed wood-look tile in the entire first floor, and did a complete master bath renovation. Now it feels like a dungeon in there, especially since we’ve brightened up so many other spaces in our house. We bought our house in 2011, and dark cabinets were all the rage. I have been itching for a renovation in my kitchen, and I just went for it.
