Have you ever heard of the Rust-O-Leum Cabinet Transformations? They also make a countertop version. One of the last things "oak" to go in our house was in the laundry room. Here is what it looked like when we moved in:
Mid-Summer progress...laundry day. In general, the state of this room 90% of the time!
I wanted some more detail on the flat cabinet so I got a sheet of beadboard at Lowes...they even cut it to the exact size right in the store! It was incredibly easy to tack up and added a lot of character!

The Rust-O-Leum kit worked great! No sanding, it included everything
(except the paintbrush). The prep was the most time consuming, taping
everything off and wiping down the cabinets. |

The glazing part was the
most nerve-wracking

All clean until the piles come in...5, 4, 3, 2....Yup, that is precisely how much time I enjoyed this view...approximately five seconds. ;) |

The ironing board cabinet I left white...was thinking about glazing it, but glad I didn't! |

That's it...I have to give props to my sister who recently did her ENTIRE kitchen! That makes this look like child's play. Perhaps she will let me do a post on that!! :)
