I’ll admit; they really weren’t bad at all. And they were at least on the more high end of the builder grade scale. But they had a reddish tint that drove me nuts. Red and I don’t get along usually.
I didn’t document every single step on this one since this was my trial run, but now that I’m the “expert” (definitely need quotations there), I’m sure you’ll be seeing one at some point. For now, you can check out this really thorough one about how to paint cabinets that Laura from The Turquoise Home posted. I didn’t follow her method completely, but it had some great tips.
I did learn a few things along the way that I know I’ll do differently next time though.




I admit, I was nervous when I painted on the first coat of this color because I was worried it was too close to our wall color, Pediment by Sherwin Williams. But I like that it’s not dark so it brightens up the room.






Your bathroom looks great! It’s so you! I wish we were this far along with our bathroom makeover…but hopefully we will be done in about 2 weeks. Fingers crossed!

Yay! Hey, progress is progress. Ours has taken longer than I had planned too. Can’t wait to see yours!
Looks fab Lauren!
Thanks!!!
I love that color, it’s so pretty and calm! My 18 month old likes to re-organize my drawers while I’m getting ready too haha 🙂
Haha they’re always up to something, aren’t they? Good thing those little munchkins are cute.
This is so perfect! Oh, I wish I had a vanity with shelves like that! I would SO do this!
Thanks, Carrie! I think I have an addiction to those drawer pulls. I want to use them on everything. 🙂
Wow. Love the idea. Your bathroom looks awesome!
Thanks so much, Laurie!
Fab-u-lous! I am adding “paint bathroom cabinets” to my list for the spring. Thanks for the inspiration!
Stay warm!

Woohoo! Go for it, girl! Hope you’re staying toasty too. 🙂
It looks beautiful! It’s so amazing what a little bit of paint can do – I love the color you chose!
Thanks so much, Jenny. Paint really is amazing.
Looks awesome Lauren!
Thanks Heather!
Beautiful transformation!
Thanks so much, Laura! Your post gave me the courage I needed. 🙂
This is so gorgeous! Those pulls are perfect for the room and what a great idea to laminate them! Yep, totally lovin’ those card catalog pulls. I am going to definitely check out D.Lawless hardware.
Great job! 😀
Thank you! I love them too! They’re so functional. Anything that helps me organize is a winner to me. 🙂
Oh Lauren, I love your bathroom cabinet. The colour is perfect and I want label drawer pulls in my bathroom too now! Love it all. 🙂 Julie
Thanks so much, Julie! I love how functional the drawers are now.
The bathroom looks totally different and how nice! It is the fact that light brings more space in every room, especially those smaller. I really like it!
Thanks, Kate. It’s definitely a different room now. 🙂
The painted bathroom cabinets look amazing…..what a transformation! I’ve never gotten “brave” enough to paint cabinets, but I have to say, after seeing yours, I’m feeling a little braver! They not only look great, they really changed the look of your master bath….to magazine worthy! I can’t wait to see the full reveal…..
Blessings to you,
Lanita
Aw thanks Lanita. I was nervous too but I’m so glad I did it. 🙂 Beware if you start because now I want to paint more!
Your bathroom looks great Lauren!! Love the pulls!
Thanks Sarah!
This bathroom makeover really looks great! In fact, it is my favorite pick from last week’s Totally Terrific Tuesday Link Party. Be sure to stop by the blog tonight at 10pm to see your feature! I can’t wait to get my hands on those labeled drawer pulls, either. I am placing an order soon!
Your bathroom looks beautifully refreshed and I love the card catalog pulls! Featured you at the party this morning. Always happy to have you share with us!
WOW! I am so in love with this! It makes me want to tackle my bathroom! It’s organized in a classy way LOL. I like that it’s labeled but the vintage feel doesn’t make it look like a standard label. Pinning and sharing! Thanks for sharing this at Totally Terrific Tuesday. I can’t wait to see what you have for this week!

I love your house!!! I am planning to paint my master bath cabinetry in winter gates. This looks much lighter than I was thinking. Did you lighten the color at all? Thank you!
Thank you, Amanda! I didn’t lighten the color at all, but I think it looks a tad darker in person than it does in pictures since it’s a semi-gloss that reflects the light quite a bit.
sometime next week I will be painting the massive vanity in my only bathroom I am not scared at all to paint them. I wish I could get a new one smaller this thing is huge but for now I am going to paint them I bought new knobs for it from a online store I love them a little big but I don’t feel like returning them shipping would be big. I will take pics when done I am also going to paint the walls not sure of the color yet my bathroom is lighthouses(I live at the beach) blue green grey white I am leaning towards grey with a small hint of blue but I will take pics when done your looks beautiful you did a great job!!
Great! I would love to see! Thank you, Brenda!
Such an inspiration!!! Your cabinet and the paint choice look wonderful! Did you sand them first? I’m just worried, that when doing general bathroom cleaning, the paint may come off. Have you had this problem or does sealing it protect it from that? ***I’m a newbie***
Thanks, Angela! I used a liquid deglosser plus primer then paint. Here’s my whole tutorial: https://www.blesserhouse.com/2015/08/the-beginners-guide-to-painting-cabinets.html We painted our master bathroom cabinets using the same method about 9 months ago and they still look exactly as they did the day I painted them. And we are not easy on those cabinets. They’ve been able to withstand our abuse perfectly.
LOVE this and your daughter’s bathroom, too! I was wondering whether you finished/framed the window yourselves or did you hire that out? I love the look!
Thank you! We framed the window ourselves. It was actually pretty easy! Here’s the tutorial if you need it: https://www.blesserhouse.com/2015/06/diy-window-trim-the-easy-way.html
Nailed it!
Thank you!
HI. I just ran across your blog. I am labeling my bathroom cabinets and I wondered if you could tell me what the different labels say? I can’t read them all from the pictures. Such a great idea, glad I ran across it!
