        Painting of barn wood cabinets is an ideal way to blend your cabinets to conform to the color of your home. When you paint or stain your barn wood cabinets, you do not have to worry about splinters since the manufacturing process took care of that. Prior to painting, make sure the barn wood cabinet is properly primed. The wood can be porous, which would cause the paint or stain to be absorbed into the wood. Without priming the barn wood, it would require applying more coats. Primer makes the wood less absorbent thereby having to use less coats of paint or stain. You should have the primer completely dry before applying the desired color. Whether you decide to paint, stain or leave it natural, the barn wood cabinet makes a superior collection to your home. If your home were already rustic, then the cabinet would blend in nicely.
