I just painted my cabinets and want to apply a glaze, but I don’t want it to rest in the grain of the wood all over, just in the moulding part. How can I get that look? Also, I chose a cream color, but it really looks white. I was going for the antiqued cream look. Is there a glaze that will solve both of my problems?

DeWalt Sander is nice, but have you tried the FesTool? Hubby is a cabinetmaker and the store where he gets most of his shop supplies loaned him one for a couple of weeks. It has an outstanding dust collection system (think MUCH less snoring) and does a great job…they aren’t cheap, but I am also encouraging him to purchase more of their tools that he likes as we can afford them…I have used it myself and I am sold on it…and I am NOT a pro!

I am so wanting to tackle the kitchen cabinets, but am soooo intimidated! I have 6 little half sized doors up high, and 16 regular sized doors. Right now they're an orangish oak color, and I'd love to make them a distressed white/cream with some light brown streaks. Thanks for the step by step how~to! Jennifer’s last blog post..Ummmm???

Hi! I HATE my cabinets. (Well, hate is a relative word. I'm really glad to live in such a nice country where I can worry about things like my cabinets instead of what I'm going to feed my kids...can you tell I'm trying to be patient and content as we save and try to figure out what to do?) They are builder grade cheapo oak colored. The doors, drawer fronts and cabinet box fronts are actually wood, the inside shelving is definitely not and the sides are maybe pressed wood covered in laminate. I would not shy away from painting, but I'm scared of that pressed wood/laminate combo. How's it going to look? Is it possible to paint that and have it look professional? Thanks!
