anyone ever paint their wood cabinets?

We have wood cabinets, but I want to paint them off-white, I'm afraid it will be a hassle and they will chip and stick. Any experience with this? I want to do it within the next 2 weeks if possible.

I painted ours white. Just make sure you sand them down(lightly) if they are smooth so that the paint absorbs.

Are you happy with them? I'm thinking I may white wash them to make them shabby chic

My friend is great at antiquing (sp?) things, I however am not. If you can do that I bet it would look great. Mine is just straight up white semi gloss paint. We did it to give them a clean look, but eventually we want to replace them, they are definitely old!

Kilz is a good paint - we used it on our deck. They sell it at Wal-Mart.
