Here's How to Use General Finishes Milk Paint to Get a Professional, Durable Finish for Your Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinets
"You've seen what a difference new-looking cabinets can make in a kitchen. You've devoured DIY Pinterest boards, watched dozens of how-to tutorials, and read blogs from other DIYs on how to paint your cabinets yourself.
Yet you haven't gotten started because you are worried that if you make a mistake, it will look worse than when you started or start to peel after a short while. There is also conflicting information about what types of paint you should use. Do you need to prep your cabinets before painting, or can you skip that step, as some people suggest? Should you glaze? What about topcoat?
That's where Rachel Elise Trimble's new book, The Confident DIY Painter, comes in. The book helps people, just like you learn how to use General Finishes paint to get a professional, durable finish for your kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Stop the overwhelming analysis paralysis of spending so much time on research and take the guesswork out of painting your cabinets by using General Finishes milk paints from a cabinet pro that paints everyday.
