What kind of paint should I use to paint oak kitchen cabinets?
Comments (2)Thank you very much, Chris. Would Benjamin Moore Advance satin finish be fine? I checked BM's website, and saw they only have primer, satin, and high-gloss in advance series. What kind of roller would you suggest? Really appreciate your help....See MoreWhat cabinet wood species with medium-stained red oak floors?
Comments (6)We are installing a QS red oak floor and QS white oak cabinets. I guess we are doing the opposite of what you are proposing... The floors will just be sealed with no stain and the cabinets will have Miniwax red oak stain. We wanted the wood to complement each other but definitely be distinct so they didn't "blend into" each other....See MoreWhat kind of paint should I use to paint oak kitchen cabinets?
Comments (24)bbstx, thank you so much for the tips. I have some other remodeling to be done by contractors. These days, I have been busy buying lights and materials for bathroom remodeling. Sorry for my late response. For the kitchen cabinets, I will paint them myself. screedesq, thank you very much for sharing your experience, which is very helpful. I'll use the Benjamin Moore Advance Simply White Semi Gloss. For the primer, I'll use Sherwin Williams PrepRiteProBlock latex primer. The sales lady recommended SW premium wall wood primer. But according to bbstx's referred post, the former should be better. I have the external hinge of bronze color. Did you have the same? Did you change them to stainless steel? I don't know if it would be a good idea to change them to internal hinge and if it would be an easy job. Did it take you a lot of time to degloss and sand the cabinets? Did you use a rotary orbital sander to do the job? The contractor who is going to remodel my house suggested Rust-Oleum Transformations. I doubt it would produce the same good result as SW preprite problock latex primer + BM advance? Really appreciate your help....See Morenatural oak wood stairs w hazelnut oak wood floors
Comments (1)Don't try to mix & match floor stain; whatever you have on your hardwood floors is what you should have on your stair treads. If you really like the darker stain, you could always have your natural oak floors refinished....See Morejoaniepoanie
