Tuscan Kitchen Cabinet Resurfacing: How to Paint Your Kitchen Cabinets with a Faux Tuscan Paint Technique

Creating a Tuscan kitchen faux paint treatment on your kitchen cabinets project is an inexpensive way to resurface your kitchen cabinets on a budget.

This Tuscan Kitchen Cabinet Resurfacing project is easy to complete and will add a distinctly Tuscan flare to the cabinets in your kitchen. The entire faux Tuscan Kitchen Cabinet Resurfacing project can be completed for under $150 depending on the size of your kitchen and how many Tuscan kitchen cabinets you will be painting. This is a great way to update your kitchen on a budget in one weekend.

Tuscan inspired colors are warm earth tones. They include colors like terra cotta, warm mustard yellows, earthy warm browns, glowing oranges with a hint of brown, and warm grays. Keep these in mind when you are choosing the paints for your Tuscan Kitchen Cabinet Resurfacing.

You will need:

Blue tape in ¼" width (2 roles for a large kitchen)
Egg Shell Or Semi Gloss Paint (3 Colors, One base color,

1 - 2 earthy warm colors
3"bristle brushes (3)
Roller brush
4 Paint trays
Glaze Medium
Scissors or exacto knife

In a high-end kitchen with authentic Tuscan Kitchen Cabinet Resurfacing look you would normally see a high end Tuscan or custom kitchen.

I like to start this project by painting all of the cabinets receiving the faux tile treatment in the kitchen a warm Tuscan inspired color that will be the base color. There is no white left in this project, so this is a good way to prevent any white area from seeping through your Tuscan faux paint job. A nice warm gray color is perfect for the base. A color like Realist Beige from Sherwin Williams would work well for this project.

Let this dry.
