Try posting in the decorating forum also. Those folks are very talented and are painting their cabinets all the time.

There was a member who used to be a regular at Home Dec, she hasn't been around in ages but her kitchen makeover is one of my all time favorites and still a popular one for inpsiration. You can see before/afters here. Full instructions for how she did it can be found in this thread from Home Dec. (See post dated 10/8/09 15:32).

Also, johnmari did the same to her bath vanity (pretty sure she used BM Bittersweet Chocolate, same as girlwithaspirin). It was their former house they were putting on the market, turned out just lovely, looked like a completely different room! I can't find photos (the search feature here might be goobered, it's not going back very far). But if you post in Home Decorating here and ask for johnmari by name she's probably got a photo or two kicking around somewhere. It won't disappoint! ;)

I did it this summer and it totally transformed and modernized the room. I had a cinnamon colored maple vanity which just lost it's appeal to me in a short 5 years. I used Rustoleum Painter's Touch primers and black semi-gloss paint. Anything that could be removed (doors, drawers) were removed and spray primed and spray painted outside in multiple very thin coats. The base was painted with the brush and roller in the room. To be honest, the toughest part of the project was waiting for everything to cure. I left the doors and drawers in my LR for almost 2 weeks to make sure everything had hardened completely. It has held up beautifully. Check out www.remodelingguy.net for a tutorial or see an example at www.granvillehouse.blogspot.com I say, "Go for it!"
