  • You are right! This was an old laminate filing cabinet that was damaged and looked awful. We spent just over $100, it looks fantastic & now sits centre stage in my office with a pot plant on top! It was an easy job to do & now we hope this inspires other people to DIY! Same principles apply if you were to paint over a laminate kitchen cupboards or a laminate bookshelf etc. Happy Painting!

  • Wow, that's amazing! A cabinet that only cost 5 dollars can be completely revamped with just 500 dollars worth of primer, paint and brushes and just 48 man-hours breathing toxic fumes. On the plus-side you do end up with a piece of furniture you're familiar with that will always remain sticky and scratch-up if you look at it sideways. Thanks for the warning.

  • Why don't you just spend $38.00 on some Annie Sloan chalk paint and skip all the prep work and primer ??

  • I have a large medium brown waldrobe that I want to paint into white.

  • @kaferere I LOL'd

  • cheers

  • Thanks for the video. My bedroom closets look similar to the piece you painted. But—and forgive me if I am just confused with terms here—I think mine have a veneer finishing. It's like a very thin board glued over the particle board. I read that laminate is more like a plastic sheet. If that is so, would the repainting process differ at all for veneer?

  • Thank you! Going to start a new project this weekend!
