Q: How deep should a pantry be?

• <div><p>Make sure your shelves are no more than 12 inches deep. Any deeper and it will become hard to access items towards the back of the shelf. Yet, for larger walk-in pantries, homeowners may prefer 15- to 18-inch shelving to make room for larger appliances and cookware. </p></div>

Q: What is liquid sandpaper, and does it work on cabinets?

• <div><p>Liquid sandpaper is a solvent used to soften existing layers of paint and make them porous enough that you can effectively apply a new coat of paint. You rub the liquid sandpaper on, wait for it to work, and wipe it off&mdash;no literal sanding is involved. Liquid sandpaper can save time and is helpful if parts of the cabinet are hard to reach with standard sandpaper. However, like paint stripper, liquid sandpaper creates dangerous fumes and must be used with care indoors. And unlike sanding, it can&rsquo;t fix any scratches or dings in your cabinets.</p></div>

Q: How far from the ceiling should kitchen cabinets be?

• <div><p>In many homes, upper cabinets are installed with a 1- to 2-foot gap between the tops and the ceiling. However, many homeowners extend their cabinets to the ceiling to gain extra storage and a polished, built-in look. </p></div>

Q: How long does cabinet painting typically take?

• <div><p>Cabinet painting generally takes a few days, factoring in preparation, drying time between coats, and finishing work.</p></div>

Q: What type of paint is best for painting cabinets?

• <div><p>There are a few different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">types of paints</a> that you can use on cabinets&mdash;latex, acrylic, and oil-based. Most cabinet painters choose latex, but acrylic paints are also a great choice. In addition to the type of paint, you also need to select a finish. Matte finishes tend to be less durable, whereas semi-gloss or high-gloss options are better for highly-used cabinets. </p><p>It&rsquo;s important to note that regular wall paint does not adhere to cabinets correctly&mdash;you&rsquo;ll need cabinet-specific paint. </p></div>
