Hi, everybody! If you're wondering how my cabinets have stood up over time, I created a video about it. You can find it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/maOX0dpuZsbYg7A.html I'm sorry that the volume of the video isn't so great, but I'm constantly trying to improve my video editing, so future videos are better, I promise! Also, I'm working on creating another video to show you how to touch up scratches and ding marks, so please subscribe and stayed tuned for that future video. Thank you so much for watching! I hope you've found this video to be helpful to you! :)

Hello, loved the video and information you gave. Quick question, if I want to paint my cabinets with chalk paint and then add wax to give it a vintage rustic feel; can I still seal it with the gloss that you sealed it with? I want to be able to wiped them down, I'm afraid if I just do the wax I won't be able to do so.

It’s very important to prep your brush before using the first time to help the shedding. But with all, all natural bristle brushes you will have shedding but with continued use it will get better. Vintage Tonality makes great brushes at an affordable price. Three brushes along with the conditioning soap to clean them are about $30 for the set on Amazon. Hope this helps and your cabinets turned out beautiful.

Note: No poly over Annie Sloan's wax. However, Annie Sloan's wax can be applied over Annie's fully dried lacquer. Could also wax, chalk paint and then lacquer. Annie's lacquer, which is water based, will not yellow chalk paint. Other manufacturer's topcoats may, while oil-based products will, yellow light colors over time, making them look dingy and dirty.

Ms. Cid, thanks for the question - it's a good one! Maybe I should do another video of how the paint and polyurethane are holding up. I don't see any yellowing on the bottom cabinets, painted Paris Grey. The white uppers show a little bit of yellow in areas where the polyurethane built up - sort of looks like a couple of little yellow dots here and there. Fortunately, I'm a pretty neat painter and I have a light hand, so I had very few such areas, which can be painted over or buffed away. You really have to look hard for them. I would say that for people with a heavier hand, it may be beneficial to go really easy on the poly and apply two very thin coats. Hope that helps!

You are very welcome, Teri, and thanks for your comment! 😊 the paint is holding up well. About two-three weeks ago, I noticed that there are a few small areas on the upper cabinets that I touch quite a bit that will need a little bit of retouching. My plan is to get a very small container of the chalk paint in pure white and just paint over the parts that need a little bit of a touch up. Instead of putting more polyurethane over top, I may just wax those small areas. Overall, however, this has been a huge upgrade to my kitchen and the paint is holding up quite nicely!

Loved the video! Simple and easy! How has the laminate finished cabinets held up the chalk paint over time? Experiencing any peeling? We want to do our whole kitchen as well :)

Hi, I just watched your kitchen tutorial...read thru the questions, and the one where someone asked about the durability in the kitchen, you said probably not the best, but wouldn't polyurethane be a strong protector of the chalk paint? Or several coats if it? i too dont won't to have to do it again, also concerned about doing it with my kitchen table which gets a lot of use. What re your thoughts?

@MissJustinaMarie

5 жыл бұрын

Theresa J hello! Polyurethane has been a durable protectant...the issue has been yellowing of the white paint. You have to apply polyurethane very very thinly and evenly. If I were doing it all over again two years later I would probably use polyacrylic. Or, if you’re planning to paint your cabinets a color other than white or very light color and you could use polyurethane of course. Or, if you have a very steady hand then give Polyurethane a try. I’m definitely not unhappy with the way my cabinets turned out. In fact I’m so happy with them! Also the beauty of chalk paint is that you can easily paint over whatever sealant you use, so say you try one cabinet face using polyurethane and don’t like it- you can just switch over to a different kind of sealer and repaint that one cabinet face. I hope that’s helpful and not more confusing. ☺️ Also if you go to my playlist I have a chalk paint playlist and there’s a video there that shows how the chalk paint has stood up over time. I show both my cabinets and my dining room table, which is sealed with wax.

What was the color called on the top cabinets?

I really want to try using the chalk paint for my kitchen cabinets but Im really nervous. For one I have a lot of cabinets so Im afrait it will take more than 1 quart. 2 I have a large family. My cabinets are very heavily used do you really think the paint will hold up against it? 3. Can I use general finishes top coat flat finish over the chalk paint instead of poly or does general finishes only work over milk paint? Thanks so much, love your videos!!

@MissJustinaMarie

7 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much, nicaluce27!!! :) You may need more than 1 quart for your cabinets depending on how big your kitchen is and what color you want to paint your existing cabinets. For example, the Pure White color takes the most coats to cover a wood finish. I used Louis Blue on a dining room table and that color only took 1 to 1 and 1/2 coats. I have a small kitchen, so I had paint left over, but if you have a lot of cabinets, you will definitely need more paint. So those are things to keep in mind. I think if you do a good job in sealing the chalk paint, you will be fine in terms of durability. I believe you can use either a water-based or oil-based finish with the chalk paint, and of course, you can always use Annie Sloan's wax. However, I believe you will need to re-wax the cabinets every few years if you go that route. Might I suggest purchasing a small container of chalk paint (at my local distributor, a small container sells for $13) and try it out on a small wooden table, chair, jewlery box, etc? That way, you can get a sense of how the paint covers. You can also test out different finishes to see which one you like the best. Hope that's helpful! Good luck on your project and thank you so much for watching my videos. I really appreciate your kind feedback. :)

Love it. We have purchased a 80's brick ranch. The kitchen cabinets are horrible. The front of one of the bottom cabinets looks like the wood finish is chipping away. I cant bare these cabinets. Does this paint really cover any kind of wood cabinets? How long did this take you ?

How are they holding up? I used the rustoleum pain for kitchen cabinets, and they have yellowed (I think it was the final clear coat). Thinking about going over then with the chalk paint, just reluctant with the sealer.

Hi, Rachael! Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel! 🙏🏼 😊 I'm having such a wonderful time creating videos and sharing my little projects. To answer your question, the cabinets are still looking good. The gloss polyurethane really holds up well to water and spills. The gray on the bottom looks awesome, in fact. The white on the top looks good, however, when I get close to a few of the cabinet I can see little yellow dots every so often. I believe these are areas where the polyurethane either built up or maybe dripped a little bit. Fortunately, I have a light hand so it's only in a few areas. I think what I'm going to do is purchase a very small container of the white chalk paint and just touch up those areas. Then, I may go over them with wax instead of the polyurethane, or I may still use polyurethane but then try to dab off any excess what a rag or q-tip something. I'm still really happy with the way the cabinets turned out. I think I'll do a video update in about six months to show the pros and cons of using chalk paint on kitchen cabinets. I still believe it's a really easy and affordable way to get an updated look. Would you use the rustoleum product again or would you recommend wax? I still lean towards the poly...I think the wax is better for furniture pieces.

Anna Pate thanks for your questions! You'll need several coats of the pure white over the dark stain. The back of the chalk paint can says that "some furniture...has a coating which may comes through the paint," but to "just apply clear shellac to the stain and repaint." I hope that's helpful. As for countertops, it says you can use this paint on wood, stone, brick, concrete, and metal. You could try it, or look into some other sort of treatment to your countertops. For ex. There are faux granite overlays you can order from Amazon. Just a thought. I hope the paint works for your project!

I have not used chalk paint in a sprayer before, but I imagine that you would get an even, matte finish.

Hi there, just stumbled upon your channel as I'm getting ready to tackle painting my outdated wood cabinets. I wanted to ask how your cabinets are holding up ? Although I really like the look of the chalk paint, I'm concerned about long term durability as this is the type of project I only want to tackle once. With a family of 5 or kitchen gets allot of use and abuse - thanks. BTW nice choice on the hardware too

@MissJustinaMarie

Billy, thanks for taking time to watch and for your question. Though I am still very pleased with the results, I would not recommend chalk paint for your kitchen if you want to only do it once and not maintain it. Though my kitchen still looks nice, there are some places, especially on the bottom, that need touched up. While I do cook, our kitchen does not take much abuse (yet!) All that said, Annie Sloan herself recently did a video on how to chalk paint kitchen cabinets. She stands by using wax but recommends many coats and waiting plenty of time between each layer of wax. Perhaps with so many wax layers the long term durability would be better? I’m not sure that I believe it because I did my dining table in chalk paint finished in wax and though I love it, I feel as though the wax finish doesn’t get super hard. My main “pros” with chalk paint is how easy it is: 1. No surface prep apart from making sure it’s clean and 2. It adheres to pretty much anything. So for me, this was the best paint choice (IMO) for my DIY kitchen project. So, if you want to forgo all the prep (sanding, etc.) and just get to it, chalk paint is a great choice. Only thing is that you may need to touch up, as I will, in about a year. If you want to take the time upfront to prepare your cabinets for regular paint, which will probably need less touch ups later, then perhaps go with that option. Hope this was helpful! Good luck on your project! 😃

Thanks, Maria! I was able to do this in one day. The paint dries so quickly that you only need to wait about 10-15 minutes between coats. Saves a LOT of time!

The clear wax makes it water proof. It says it on her website.

You stated that you used oil based poly. Actually, the milky color tells me that it's a water based poly. Water polystyrene will not turn yellow as bad as oil will. So, you do have the appropriate clear coat, just called it the wrong base. Good job on the video. 3 yrs later and the chalk painting is a big desire and successful application choice. (12 yr Lowe's employee in paint dept)

I just watched this video as I’m interested in doing my own, but I’m also nervous. I don’t want to pay thousands to have them professionally painted but I want it to look like they are.

Hi, Diane! 🤗 I really like chalk paint because it’s so easy to use. I will say that I just purchased some more paint because I need to touch up the uppers and repaint the lowers. When did I first paint them? 2016? So they lasted about 3 years. I think it’s a much easier option that regular latex. And, I would absolutely recommend sealing them with a polycrylic instead of a wax (not durable enough) or polyurethane (toxic!) I hope that helps you in your decision-making! Xo!❤️

Hello, Lin! Well, the cabinets are holding up by the most-used ones need some retouching. I did a video update a couple of months ago to show how they are holding up. It’s part of my chalk paint playlist. I would recommend it and I would definitely do it again...the one difference is that I might instead have used a polyacryllic instead of polyurethane to seal only because polyurethane can turn a little yellowy if you don’t apply it super thin. I’ve never tried Beyond Paint before. I think their company saw this video because they reached out to me a few months ago and asked if I wanted to try their product, I said SURE! but I haven’t heard anything back. Their product should be applied with a roller while chalk paint should be applied with a brush. I’m sorry I don’t know much more about how it applies or anything like that. I found chalk paint myself through a local store. I really do think it’s a excellent product especially for furniture and cabinet painting. ☺️ Hope that’s helpful to you!

Deanna, I am happy to report that I did not have that experience. I did a very thin, even coat and it did not yellow. I imagine it would, though, if you use a heavy hand. You know, just last week Annie Sloan herself did a vid on how to chalk paint kitchen cabinets. She talked a lot about the wax, which is what she recommends. Maybe check that out too?

How many quart sized cans did you end up using total?

Rhonda, hi! One of each color, and I had paint left over!

I remove the vinyl with a harbor freight $11.00 heat gun that vinyl came off like butter.

Great details--thank you! I am ready to start painting tomorrow. How much paint did you use after 3 coats? I want to be sure I have enough. M

Hi, Maria, and thank you for your comment! I only needed one can of each color. With the white, I had enough left over after 3 coats to do the top of my dining room table. As you can see, I have a small kitchen, so if you have a large kitchen you may need more, but like I said, for my space, 1 can of the white was all I needed. For the bottom, I used one can of gray and had enough left over to paint a dresser! Hope that helps and good luck on your project! :)

Thank you! Ready to start painting today! Thank you for your support! :--)

Gppd morning! I noticed you painted the outside of cabinet doors. Did you paint the inside too? My husband removed all the doors and hardware so I can paint them more (professionally} . I showed him your video and explained I wanted it to be easy peasy, before Thanksgiving 2 days away! Yikes!

Hi. I see that you painted directly on the MDF. Did you have a problem with the MDF swelling? And over a year later how are the door holding up? Thanks!

Hello, Rachel! The doors are still holding up great, no problems painting over either surface. I would like to do a touch up on the grey lower cabinets, though. It seems like there are some areas where maybe something greasy spilled that left a few streaks that are slightly darker than the color of the cabinets. The uppers still look really, really good though. :)

Chalk paint is very expensive per queart. You can make your own and I have done this and it works excellent. Use Calcium Carbonate. Very cheap Works great. Sealing it Poly removes the advantage of the chalk look. Kitchen cabinets big NO-No with Chalk paint. Hence why you needed to use poly. Try spraying cabinets next time much much better finish and so much time savings.

Those brushes are the reason I started using foam rollers

Did you paint the inside of you cabinets?

Since the insides of my cabinets are white, I didn’t. If they were dark or another color, then yes, I would have painted them. But being that the gray is light, the white insides don’t seem to stand out. I’m thinking about repainting them this summer, btw...just a quick coat overtop to refresh them. Thinking about going with a slightly different color, though....will keep you posted! 😃

What color paint on top? Never said!!

Can u tell me if the varnish yellowed after time that's my biggest worry

Hello, SliperySquid! The varnish has not yellowed, thankfully. I have a few, small yellow spots in a few areas where I didn't fully wipe away excess varnish, but I think if you apply a very thin coat, you should be fine. If you're concerned about drip marks then I would use the wax instead. IMO You'll just need to reapply a layer of wax every six months to a year. Also, keep in mind that you can touch up with the chalk paint right over the varnish and the wax. Hope that helps!

how many. gallons of paint did you used for the cabinets? my kitchen is like yours

Clelia, I used half of a QUART! 😃 a little goes a long way.

If you are going to the trouble (and cost) of using Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint, why would you then seal your cabinets with a gloss product? There are matte sealers out there that will protect them from daily wear in the kitchen. Polyacrylic is one, and there are others. Annie Sloan's wax (either clear or dark OR both) will also add protection via a nice hard coating.

Well, the purpose of using chalk paint, in my case, was ease of use. No stripping, no sanding, no prepping of the surface required. I believe most people use chalk paint for that reason, not because of the matte finish. Besides, you MUST seal chalk paint or it will chip off. The Annie Sloan wax has a slight sheen, and you can buff it to a shine. In other words, I didn't use chalk paint to get a "chalky" finished look. I did it so I didn't have to sand all my cabinets and prime them before painting.

Where did you get the butterfly tea kettle? ;-)

Hi, Joey! A few years ago my hubby and I took an anniversary trip to a lovely little lakeside town, Aurora NY. It happens to be the home/headquarters of Mackenzie Child’s, so we took a tour and I purchased the tea kettle. It was a little pricey but it’s such a sweet reminder of our trip and I use it every day. The name of the pattern is “butterfly garden.” I don’t see this one for sale any longer but here’s a link to their current tea kettle designs: www.mackenzie-childs.com/search?q=tea%20kettle

You’re welcome! Have you ever seen Lenox’s butterfly meadow collection? There is a pretty tea pot (not kettle, though) in that collection. I have the plates and they are super pretty. Anyhow, hope you can find the MC kettle. You will love it! ✨🦋 ✨

how has it been with cleaning it....does the paint whipe off or chip?

Hi, Ana! My cabinets and the table have been holding up very well. I have one small chip on the table top, but it looks fine because I distressed the edges. I clean the table with Mrs. Myers spray and a rag. Other than the one small chip, the table looks perfect. One thing I noticed about the table: I was writing a note a friend on a piece of paper. When I lifted the paper from the table, I could see an imprint of my handwriting! It rubbed away with my finger, but that was a surprise. I think the pen indented the wax, even though the wax dries hard, but again, it rubbed away. The upper kitchen cabinets still look perfect. I have two stains on two of the lower cabinets. I think it's from something greasy. The stain sort of darkened the color of the gray. I think I may touch it up when I feel like it, but you can't really see it unless you really look. Other than that, the gray on the bottom looks good. I don't have kids so I don't know how it would hold up to little hands and feet. I would assume that over time, touch ups would be needed if you have kids. However, my husband and I eat dinner at our table almost every evening and it still looks great and cleans up very easily. I hope that helps!

No problem! I think milk paint is less expensive but it gives a different, more "chippy" sort of look. It's often used on cabinets, though. This is a really good article that discusses the differences and similarities between chalk paint and milk paint. One of the experts featured in the article is the owner of the same shop where I buy my paint supplies (Stylish Patina) Maybe this will help you decide which paint is best for your project? www.houzz.com/ideabooks/44885657/list/what-to-know-about-milk-paint-and-chalk-paint-and-how-to-use-them

It still looks streaky. I have thermopane and can't paint.

Hi, Nita! Thermopane, hmmm...are you painting glass?

GREAT JOB!!! Of the practically zillions of vids I've watched featuring the vast brands of chalk paint, Annie Sloan chalk paint had the worst coverage, hands down.

The grey is beautiful but would have looked a lot nicer if the lower cabinets were darker.

Hi, Sidra! I’m actually thinking of repainting the cabinets altogether. It’s been a while since I did them and they’ve got some stains on them from spills. If I do, I’ll film it for the channel! Thanks for watching!🙏🏼
