So, I did what I had not planned to do. I threw caution to the wind and went for it.
I changed the cabinets up…again.
In case you are just joining us, I am changing up the girls’ dark bathroom.
Using my fave homemade chalk paint recipe, I mixed up some latex gray paint with non-sanded grout, added a bit of water and started painting.
Just to reiterate…NO SANDING, NO PRIMING.
One coat was applied to both sides of the doors and all the cabinets.
At this stage, it was looking much better already.
Hubby painted the walls a creamy white and suddenly the bathroom was brighter and so much lighter.
So what happened next, you ask?
Dark wax
Just to show the difference, the kick plate does not have dark wax.
Oh yeah people, I just went to town. I gave those nasty oak cabinets the makeover they deserved and then took it to the next level with Annie Sloan’s dark wax.
Now the cabinets pop and look like furniture. The girls even gave me praise!
I am hoping that this change gave me the kick start I needed to wrap this project up.
Oh yeah, before I sign off – thanks for the feedback on the shower curtains. I found them at Home Goods and TJ Maxx. All were less than $20 each.
Sharing lots on FB, would love for you to follow along!
I plan to share this makeover here:
- Furniture Feature Friday @ Miss Mustard Seed
- Remodelaholic Friday @ Remodelaholic
- Frugal Friday @ Shabby Nest
- Feathered Nest Friday @ French Country Cottage
- Repurposed Life
Have a great day! My baby is 11 today! Woo-hoo, we are celebrating!

Looks fantastic! I just did my boys vanity in their bathroom, but didn't apply wax. Think that might be just what it needs. Where do you purchase the wax?
Shannon everything looks great !!

Beautiful transformation!
Wow, I am going to have to look into that wax. I've also never used chalk paint. You may have changed my world...
it looks great!
OMG!! The cabinets are beautiful! They look very "Restoration Hardware". I wrote down the paint color that you used...but I have no idea how to make chalk paint. Would LOVE it if you could please do a post on how you achieved this look!! So, so beautiful!
Thank you,
Michelle

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my
iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty
foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off
topic but I had to share it with someone!
