- Clean your drawers to remove any dirt or dust. I just used warm water. Let dry.
- Remove your drawer fronts, if your cabinet is already assembled - ignore the dust! ha!
- Prime the drawer fronts as well as the cabinets. Let dry, following manufacturer's directions.
- Paint. I used paint brushes for this step, but you can use a roller. I do have small brush marks, they look a lot better once the varnish has dried, not completely smooth - I'm completely ok with that. Let completely dry in between coats and then let dry overnight before the next step.
- Paint with varnish. Let dry overnight.
- Re-assemble your drawers and enjoy.
