My home is 19 years old, I live in BCS Mexico. I have lived in my home for the past 6 years and was wanting to update the look in my kitchen and at the same time, keep my home looking Mexican. BCS is a fairly young community and at the time my home was built in 2005, there were not a lot of options available to builders and home owners. My cabinets were different kinds of wood, some completely finished and some just stained, some solid wood and some veneer. It was not possible to strip and refinish the cabinets. When I found this product I was so excited. I ordered the Monarchy and Envy colours paint my kitchen. I also upgraded the hardware to black iron handles. I must say that the Monarchy (primer red) is a difficult colour to use as it shadows as great deal. In my case I had to paint the cabinets 6 times to loose the shadowing. Envy was a simple two coats.
