We bought an old cabinet and decided to entirely paint it, gloss it, and make it look much better. Here is how we did it.

Remove the Knobs and Start Sanding

This is a fairly important step so you can properly apply any wood stains/paint and make sure you don't get scratches on the knobs

Be Ready to Paint

We chose to paint untop of an entire sheet of painter's paper, used latex coded paint, and made sure to use some of those spongy wooden paint brushes

Start the Drawers First

Start painting the drawers first after you sanded them

Paint the sides and start dusting your creation once the paint dries
