Using Kilz Primer and a foam paint roller, you can make sure that the cabinets and the buffet furniture are priming perfectly.

Once the primer is dry, it's time to paint. I used Dixie Belle Chalk Paint. This easy-to-use paint requires no sanding or priming, and it goes on smoothly without streaking or clumping.

Finally, add a protective coat. I used Dixie Bell’s Best Dang Wax and a round wax brush to make x shape motions on the surface. I also used a rag to buff it into the little details and crevices.

I absolutely LOVE how it turned out and it's now more of my own personal style!
