Repainted with color matched to kitchen cabinets

After removing the baskets, I first painted the entire piece with Zinsser BullsEye 1-2-3 Primer.  Then I applied beige spray paint to the interior.  (Brush painting the inside bars was a nightmare, so I gave up and bought three cans of Rustoleum high gloss beige and spray painted the entire interior cabinet.) For the enterior, I used Behr a light cream high gloss interior/exterior paint.  To help prevent brush marks, I added a small amount of Flotreol paint conditioner.

Here's the end result.  While it was nice, I thought it was too perfect and it didn't really show off the detail of the side paneling.
