Kitchen remodel

I am trying to revamp the kitchen. Ever since we moved in, we talked about doing something with the cabinets. We didn't want to paint them because they are nice, real wood cabinets with a natural stain (sealant?). You could even smell the fresh wood smell even though they have been there for YEARS! Well I am sick of looking at them. Stripping all of them and sanding and staining...sounds like too much work that I don't have time for. After seeing someone's remodel online, and all they did was paint, I was like, "Wow! I soo have to do that!". So I am. I went by a suggestion I saw and bought Bull's Eye 3-2-1 Primer. I also bought some wood putty because I am getting rid of the handles. I was going to spray paint them but decided to handleless instead. There are 30 doors and and 9 drawers. It gets a bit pricey, so, I may decide to get handles much later in the future, since we're on a budget. I bought painter's tape, a spackle knife and some small rollers. I still need to get some glossy white paint, paint sticks and a brush. This will be fun. I took off 6 doors today, and it took all day to get it done. I'm taking lots of pictures and will try to tell a little bit of the story everyday. I will leave you with some "before" pictures. BTW: Please excuse the mess on the end counter. We're trying to get things organized but are finding a lack of space. Oh, and that chandalier, it's getting help too, I'm just not sure how yet.
