Recently my post about how I painted my kitchen cabinets broke the 2 million pageview mark.  And I was reminded that back when I was figuring out the optimal technique for painting my cabinets, that I did research,  A LOT OF RESEARCH,  into how other professionals, bloggers and homeowners painted their cabinets.  It was google search after google search, asking my friends, turning to social media…  I was trying to get as much information as I could and it was a lot of work.  What I really needed at the time was a place to go where all that information was gathered in ONE spot.  With lists of options and links to actual tutorials.  A cheat sheet to cabinet painting.



So know you know what I did?  I CREATED THAT LIST.   I talked to all my blogging friends about how they paint cabinets, I asked for tutorials and searched out links. I found as much information and I could** and organized it to make it easy to find.   So now, if you are ever contemplating painting your cabinets, you have a one-stop-shop for advice.
