Dining Room Cabinet Painting Mistakes To Avoid In St. Helens, OR
When you have a good look around your dining room and you come to realize that it could stand to look better, one aspect of the room that you might want to look at is the cabinet or cabinets that are in the room.
However, there are certain mistakes that you might inadvertently make during the painting process -- though you can avoid these mistakes if you're aware of them and take measures to avoid them from happening.
With that being the case, let's have a look at some dining room cabinet painting mistakes to avoid when you want a well painted dining room cabinet.
1. Using The Wrong Kind Of Paint
One thing that you're not going to want to do when you're looking to paint your dining room cabinets is to make use of the wrong kind of paint.
Since you're painting cabinets in a dining room, you can reasonably assume that you are going to have to spend some time cleaning the cabinets when you are making use of the room in a normal manner, which typically involves food going in and out of the room.
To best facilitate this, you are going to want to make use of glossy paint, which is relatively easy to clean -- once you are ready to clean your cabinets you just need to make use of a damp cloth to wipe the surface of the cabinet or cabinets and you will find the cabinets to be quite cleaner.
If you make use of flat paint, it may do a better job of hiding flaws in the surface of the cabinets but it will be much more difficult to clean and you may even remove some of the paint as well as the grime you are removing.
2. Leaving The Hardware On
If you are going to be painting your cabinets, it's going to be a really good idea to remove the hardware that is on the cabinets prior to painting them.
This is for a number of reasons, one being how much easier it is to paint the cabinets with the hardware removed -- you won't have to worry about painting around the hardware and ensuring that the paint goes in all of the various nook areas near the hardware as you apply paint to the surfaces of your cabinets.
You'll also get a great opportunity to replace the hardware entirely once you have the hardware off, and consider getting hardware from a vintage retailer, perhaps even something that will make your dining room cabinet look better.
There are many other places where you can get hardware for your cabinets, and some of them can even make your cabinets look quite whimsical!
3.... Leaving The Doors And Drawers On
While painting your cabinets, you may think that you can just paint your doors and drawers while they are still attached to the cabinets, but this is not the case -- though technically it can work it will be much more difficult for you.
What you are going to want to do is to fully remove the doors and drawers from the cabinets before you begin the painting project and then you are going to be able to carefully paint each of them in such a manner that will enable you to get them fully painted.
The doors, for example, are much better painted when they are laid flat rather than standing up, particularly if you are going to be making use of a paint brush to paint the cabinet doors and not making use of spray painting cans or even a spray painting machine.
