Painting Kitchen Cabinets

For the past two nights, getting to bed before midnight has been impossible. Painting kitchen cabinets is a slow, tedious process. I mean, it is possible to slap some paint up and move on but to get the perfect finish it takes patience and...well, time. We put two coats of primer with a lot of sanding in between followed by 2 coats of oil based gloss, and now we have the base cabinets double coated. But the doors have taken even longer, we only have one coat on those. The drawers... we are just going to have to paint the insides after the Wine Party. As I'm sure most party guests won't go snooping in the drawers, I hope.
