Glaze Oak Kitchen Cabinets

Where to start when updating oak kitchen cabinets.
Glaze oak kitchen cabinets. Like i mentioned above a lot of research and testing went into that decision. All they require are the installation of doors and drawers. The original faucet felt dated while the cassidy faucet felt fresh and beautiful.
We will cover th. Stock kitchen cabinets are mostly assembled when purchased. Remember you don t need to glaze the entire door at one time.
Prefer carrying out in small sections at a time. Then apply glaze with a brush to a small section of the cabinet and use a clean lint free cloth to wipe the surface down until you achieve the look you want. The only reason we are leaning away from painting is that the kitchen and the rest of the house has the same honey oak wood trim baseboards stairs etc.
The best paint for oak cabinets i found is insl x cabinet coat enamel in satin diluted and applied with a paint sprayer. It was already pretty thin but through trial and error we determined that the best results were achieved with our particular paint sprayer when we diluted it 8 with distilled water. Insl x cabinet coat is an acrylic water based enamel.
To glaze kitchen cabinets start by letting fresh paint dry completely then seal the paint with a coat of lacquer. Glazing them darkens the color of the woodwork and lends an antique effect. Which we really don t want to do.
You can use a tape to keep it off at the back. We removed the wallpaper and painted the walls to make the space feel light bright and open but replacing the faucet with a delta cassidy faucet in beautiful champagne bronze made the most significant impact. We will try adding new hardware and see.
