Painting my laundry room cabinets! am I nuts?

This is what they looked like before I worked my magic!

one door down, 4 to go!

Don't look inside the cupboard, I am a stuffer!

I am not sure what possessed me to start this but here goes! I am painting my laundry room cabinets a glossy white, I painted the walls aqua (a while ago)and then my sweet hubby bought me the red washer and dryer. I have been putting this off but today is the day! I got most of my tips off of young house love younghouselove So, what are you waiting for LETS PAINT!!

*if there is one piece of advice I could give you if you decide to do this is prepping your piece first, sand or strip and then used a good primer!
