 The builder grade oak cabinets are original to the home which was built in 2007. Solid cabinets so there’s no reason to rip them out when I knew I could transform them.

Prep is ESSENTIAL to ANY transformation! I removed all the doors, hardware and hinges. I normally use TSP but was out so I used my 2nd favorite cleaner, ‘Greased Lightning’. You name it, it gets it off!  I scrubbed them and used a tooth brush in the corners where nearly a decade worth of gunk was in. I rinsed them...

"This kitchen is a show stopper. I used General Finishes custom matched color called Cake Batter and GF Enduro Poly Satin Topcoat. The cabinets were brown, so I primed first, sprayed three coats of paint and sanded back between coats and then applied 3 coats of Enduro Poly."

Matthew Shearer gave his kitchen cabinets a fantastic face-lift using General Finishes Java Gel Stain topped with High Performance Top Coat.   

"Absolutely love the result, but I had to be quite patient in between coats of the Gel Stain. It took 2-3 days for the stain to completely dry but top coat only needed two hours dry time between coats. Next time I would spend a little more time making sure high use areas of the cabinets were extra clean and prepped. -Matthew   

MFG...

"What an incredible difference! It doesn't even look like the same space. We love the modern spin on farmhouse style.
Cabinets are done in our popular distressed Antique White finish with General Finishes Milk Paint." -Recycle Junkie
