I just painted my cabinets Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black “satin”…primed them first, then 2 coats of paint….however, they don’t have a glossy feel to them…kinda flat and when you brush your hand across them, it leaves a white ashy look…I’m thinking maybe i need a urethane over top to make it shiny/slicker to the touch…your thoughts??!!

I really love your kitchen but have a question. I noticed that your cabinets are not super shiny or glossy. I like the muted color – it adds richness and depth. What kind of paint did you use and did you sand or strip the cabinets first? You have inspired me to tackle my cabinets. Thanks

So I know you posted this forever ago, but I have been trying to convince my husband we needed to paint our cabinets black. He isn't much of a diy'er and told me we shouldn't try. Then last week he told me he was looking into doing it and he stumbled on your blog post and decided we could totally do this! Now I can't wait to get started this and inspiring my husband.

i was searching google for "painting cabinets black" and your blog popped up! Ive actually seen your blog before through Kellys Korner =) I was wondering what color paint you used, we are getting ready to paint our white cabinets black and I love the way yours turned out!

OMG- I have the same cabinets. I was searching the net for ideas to paint them because, like you, I hate them. I too want to go black, but was a bit fearful. After seeing your cupboards, I think I am good to move forward and let the painting begin. I will try to take some before and after pictures. Wish me luck.
