Hi Nancy,

I am new to your site. I really like what you did to your laundry room. It looks like you moved to a new home. As you can tell from my email name, I am a beachy kind of girl. I love all of the nods to the sea.

In reply to Nancy. Thanks for the thorough comparison of the 3. Since those are the 3 ideas I've been looking at that really helps!

Hi Valerie!
Yes, I’d say they are similar to work with. Both have held up very, very well. The kitchen was 5 years old when we did our complete remodel this last summer/fall. The paint was in really good shape overall but since the actual cabinets were 40+ years old, they had to go. Now, again, this is not with wax (which I don’t recommend at all), but with the floor varathane.
Both of those are good for repainting in a kitchen. Both similarly require little prep which makes the job extra nice! But, there are other great paints out there for kitchens, such as Sherwin Williams, ProClassic Waterborne Acrylic Enamel, which is what I used on our kitchen island this go round. Can you get samples of the paints? Your best bet is to play around with each and see how they are with application, etc. They all have slightly different properties. The Pro Classic I mentioned has self leveling properties so it’s helpful to keep things smooth as you go. With the CP and MP mentioned, you would probably need to sand a little in between applications to keep things smooth. So it’s really a give or take on prep. Do it beforehand and use something like SW, or little to no prep with the others, and a little more work during. Good luck with whichever you choose! I’ve had good luck with all 3. :) xo

I read this post after seeing it mentioned at the end of your “My Chalk Painted Cabinets (4 years later-how did they do!?)” post and I’m curious at this point, a year or so later, which paint is your favorite? Is this milk paint just as easy to work with (I’ve used Annie Sloan on furniture before but not the GF Milk paint)? More importantly, how have they compared in durability? I know you mentioned using the FLOOR urethane in the kitchen over the chalk paint but has this held up well too?
I’m working on a re-do of my kitchen and am researching every type of paint I can before making the plunge to painted cabinets.

I got my dispensers figured out!
Thank you for your inspiration.
The sprayer you recommended Works great!
I got the dispenser also and they work great they don’t clog up like my others. I paid for the really good ones and so worth it!
I put in the sewing machine drawers and helped to keep a cleaner look!
Thank you
Jody
