Staining Cabinets
Depending on the look you’re going for, staining your kitchen cabinets can be a low-cost option for an antique look. Consider giving your kitchen cabinets a quick makeover with a fresh coat of stain.
“Using a different color stain—even as simple as going one shade darker or lighter—can give your kitchen, bathroom or other rooms in your home the new, updated look you want,” according to True Value. And, a stain in an unexpected color such as green or purple can help you achieve the antique painted cabinet look.
To stain cabinets, you’ll need to remove cabinet hardware, doors and drawers. Clean the surfaces and remove the old finish. True Value then recommends applying a sanding sealer or wood conditioner before you begin staining. Here are our best tips for how to stain wood evenly without blotches and dark spots.
