I’ve received lots of questions about how I updated my guest bathroom and how I prepped to paint oak vanity cabinets in my guest bathroom, so I thought I’d share.<\/p>\n

We were preparing our house for sale and wanted a fresh look. This bathroom \u00a0was updated in a few hours, why do we wait so long to do projects?<\/p>\n

Before (excuse the mess…renovations are never neat in my house)<\/p>\n

\"Oak<\/p>\n

How to\u00a0FAT Paint oak cabinet<\/h2>\n

I prepped to paint oak cabinets by removing the hardware and giving them a light sanding followed by a good cleaning with a degreaser. I use Spray 9 and rinse well, however, any good degreaser\u00a0will work.<\/p>\n

I used 2 coats of Couture Linen FAT Paint chalk style paint.<\/p>\n

I lightly sanded it with 400 grit sandpaper, not distressing, just giving it a smooth finish.<\/p>\n

Wipe off excess dust<\/p>\n

Topcoat with FAT Paint’s Clear Coat (you can also use Miss Mustard Seed’s Tough Coat)<\/p>\n

I let the cabinets cure for about 2 days (mostly because I was also renovating\u00a0400 other things at the time) and then put the hardware back on and everything back in place.<\/p>\n

\"Painting<\/p>\n

Easy and done.<\/p>\n

You can visit us in Moncton at 179 Bonnacord Street for more information and guidance anytime, or more info on how to use FAT Paint here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Would you paint your oak cabinets?<\/p>\n

\"UpdateThanks for popping in, I’ve missed sharing paint projects with you all. We had so many last year I didn’t share as we prepared to move, I will try to update as I can.<\/p>\n

What are you painting these days?<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/h3>\n
