How would you like to change the look of your whole kitchen at a very minimal cost? Well, that is exactly what I just did. I decided that I wanted a new look for my home and changing the color of my kitchen cabinets would give me the look that I wanted. I had very light blond wood cabinets to start with and after a terrific paint job, I now have ivory cabinets with a chocolate glaze. I can now bring in darker, richer accents in to decorate. This process took a little longer than a weekend and cost only $2,500. Not a bad deal for a new kitchen and seems to be quite popular these days! I did some research and found a website called DIY Networks (do it yourself projects). The first article that was on the site refers to painting your kitchen cabinets……
Q: I want to give my kitchen cabinets a new look. They’re wood-stained cabinets. Is it possible to paint them?
A: (Sharon Hanby-Robie, Ask DIY
remodeling expert) ) Absolutely! It’s a project that requires you to
take enough time and not rush, but the results will be worth the
effort.
The article goes on to give a step by step accounting of everything involved. I was always told that painting over wood stain was a no no, but with all of the products out there it is possible with beautiful results. 
Take a look at the after effect that added richness and subtly changed the look of my cabinets.
