One Day Paint Projects: Updating Kitchen Pantry Doors
Our friend Annie over at Ace Hardware came up with a unique way to revitalize her kitchen with a small one day paint project that also has a small price tag. The idea behind this project is two-fold: give an out-of-date kitchen pantry a current style makeover and add some functionality for family dinner menu planning. The step-by-step video is at the bottom of the page, ready to watch!
Kitchen Pantry Door Project Instructions:
Step 1: Prep your space by cleaning the surface of the pantry and spreading out drop cloths
Step 2: Tape off the edges of the pantry glass
Step 3: Mix the Chalkboard paint thoroughly with either a mixing stick or pouring it back and forth between two buckets
Step 4: Apply using a 2 inch synthetic angled brush until the surface is completely covered
Step 5: Let dry for 30 minutes and then apply another one or two coats
Step 6: Let dry for at least 3 days before writing with chalk to make sure it fully cures.
Step 7: Before writing on the chalkboard surface, treat it by rubbing chalk all over the surface and then wiping off with a dry cloth
