Hi Shaya,This post has a close up photo that shows how much grain showed:http://danslelakehouse.com/2013/11/refinishing-bathroom-cabinets.htmlThe grain did show, but I liked that it showed a little. If I had applied another coat, I think less would have showed. In my kitchen I have oak too but I used a paint sprayer with paint and that application REALLY helped disguise the grain.If you're curious, here's an update on the Rust-Oleum:http://danslelakehouse.com/2015/05/honest-thoughts-on-bathroom-mini_8.htmlAnd I also used the Rust-Oleum on melamine cabinets:http://danslelakehouse.com/2016/11/budget-friendly-grey-gold-pink-kitchen.htmlIn this post I review different kinds of paint/refinishing:http://danslelakehouse.com/2014/08/cabinet-refinishing-paint-vs-stain-vs.htmlHopefully those posts with additional (better) photos help! I really loved the Rust-Oleum kits and used them again and again.

This looks really amazing! My husband and I are about to do the Restoleum kit in the color Castle as well. We have oak cabinets. Did you find you had any trouble with the grain showing through too much?

Thanks Shavonda! I'm so happy to be rid of the oak and duck-theme. Other rooms shine so even if this one is a little plain for now, just having it freshened up helps it flow with the rest of the house.

Thanks Rick. I'm continually amazed at what an impact just a little paint can have.

It looks so much better with a lick of paint and art works. We left our rooms until we were ready to renovate them completely which means my beige laundry/toilet has been boring and beige for 5 years now, but we are finally at the gut and painting stage now. Cant wait to get a fresh colour on the walls, it makes all the difference!

I really like the lighter colors that you used in the bathroom. It made everything look much brighter and the pictures also give it a nice touch. Looks good!

I love the idea of stripes- could you take your turquoise and just tone it down a little ( like same color with additional white) and do wide pale stripes? That way would tie in with the rest of the house but wouldn't detract from the bold colors in the art. Just my two cents! 🙂
