How to Antique Your Kitchen Cabinets
Antiquing kitchen cabinets is a perfect way to give your old cabinets a new look; especially if they are made from imitation wood or are just old wooden cabinets in need of updating.
It’s an easy do-it-yourself project that can be done in one weekend with the right supplies and by following the simple steps below:
- Sand the surface of the kitchen cabinets
- Wipe off dust from sanding with a clean and dry cloth
- Apply a coat of primer
- Allow kitchen cabinets to dry completely before moving on to the next step
- Apply a coat of base paint
- Paint kitchen cabinets the color of your choice
- Allow paint to dry
- Antique kitchen cabinets by roughing up edges and other areas with sand paper
- Wipe down with a clean and dry cloth
- You can stop here or darken your kitchen cabinets using ½ wood stain and ½ glaze
