Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations Kitchen Re-do

Happy hump day! I've been wanting to blog about my kitchen transformation before I even had a blog, since my hubby refinished the cabinets himself (After I lovingly convinced him to). We used Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations in Espresso, which cost us only $100 to do the entire kitchen. Before we went ahead and purchased the kit, I searched all over the web to find reviews on everything from the process, the complexity, and the overall finish at the end. The general consensus was that it was pretty easy but time consuming. The beauty is that you don't need to sand anything as it comes with a de-glosser, but it did take us (him) a few weekends to complete. I would have participated, really, but I was 8 months' pregnant at the time and the hubby wouldn't let me (I swear!). This is the before pic (taken before we even moved in to the home):

And this is the after (We also installed new hardware, changed the floors and painted, in case you were wondering):

He did a pretty good job, in my opinion. The kit can be purchased at Home Depot and Lowes I believe, and cost us about $100. We got the dark kit, and had them mix it to the Espresso colour. We spend about another $30 or so on brushes and drop cloths. So total investment was about $130 for what would have cost us thousands of dollars to get done professionally. Not too shabby, considering we had already exhausted our reno budget on flooring, paint, new baseboards, new bathroom vanities and other small details. 

If you have any questions about our experience with Cabinet Transformations, drop me a line.
