I have always loved the glazed look on furniture. I do it to almost every piece I makeover. I’ve also loved the look on cabinets. So I decided to tackle my kitchen cabinets. It’s a really easy process.
You can follow my glazing technique for this process…or you can cheat like I did.
Start with your unglazed cabinets
I sanded the first set I did. Then I did a set without sanding. There was no difference. So I skipped the sanding step.
I took gel stain and slathered it all over the cabinets. Making sure to get in all the crooks and crannies.
Wait a bit and then wipe it off. Easy Easy.
It’s a pretty subtle effect but adds a little something. I love it.
If you go over the entire cabinet, it will darken the color a little bit. If you want it even darker, do another coat.
You can also do this on painted cabinets. I really like the effect on white cabinetry.
If you do this project, I would love to see pictures.

Really nice effect! It is subtle, like you said, but en masse, I’m sure it would completely change the look of a kitchen!

It does make a difference en masse…I would show a pic of the whole kitchen but bad blogger, I have 4.5 cabinets to go {blush}. Your pic is so cute!!
Would you mind telling me what brand/color of glaze you use? Looks beautiful!!!
I’ve never glazed cabinets… good to know! Thank you for linking up to Monday Funday!

Your cabinet looks great! What kind of glaze do you use?

Do you take all your drawers out and doors of to glaze them?
I was also wondering what color stain and brand you use. I am going to town tomorrow and hoping to pick some up so I can do this. I promise to take pictures and send them to you when I do. Thanks!
