  1. Thanks for featuring the white/gray kitchen cabinets– I’ve been considering painting my lower cabinets for the last few years, and I think I just need to pull the trigger. My hubby and I painted them white the week before Christmas our first year in our house, and they definitely need to be repainted.

  2. We painted our cabinets this way and last spring our realtor told us she was glad to see it because this type of kitchen was selling homes FAST. Ours sold in 19 days! (Now we have another kitchen make-over to tackle.)
