The article didn't mention one thing about prep, which is probably the most important step. Having painted over varnished cabinets--even with sanding and primer--I would never do it again, because it hasn't held up well. The paint tends to chip. Also, she painted the appliances with Rust-o-leum. I was always told that you needed a special appliance paint, and it wouldn't work on the range top, because of the heat. I wish some of this had been mentioned in this article. However, I have to say the pictures were certainly impressive. What an improvement--in looks, anyway.
