The cupboards and closets in the house were not a pretty sight when we moved in. Even after scrubbing with everything from dust remover to Clorox bleach they were still covered with black scuff marks and other mysterious stains. Not to mention, they were also all lined with a gorgeous wood grain paper.
Here's some before pictures of the pantry/bar cupboard. The rest looked the same or even worse.
I finally decided the best solution would be to paint them all. After ripping off enough shelf liner to cover a parking lot, I removed all the shelves and set them up in my work room (aka the front living room-much warmer than the garage and much easier than the basement!). One thing I discovered is that the broken down cardboard boxes from the move made perfect “drop cloths” for this project since they don’t slip around or bunch up the way sheets do.
Here are some comparison pictures. I can't believe how big of a difference one coat of paint makes!
After a fresh coat of white ceiling paint on all the shelves and inside the cupboards/closets I ended up with wonderful, fresh and most importantly CLEAN storage areas!
