How to Antique Your Kitchen Cabinets
Antique White Kitchen Cabinets
Do you have a dull, white kitchen that needs to be spruced up? Yes, while the kitchen is all white, the counter tops are white, the chairs are white, and I'm sure the table is white, and while it all seems nice, the room probably seems cold. This is a common issue for people with all white rooms. Well, a simple way to add character to your white kitchen is to antique the kitchen cabinets.
The only materials you will need is sandpaper, I recommend 120 grit, clean clothes, one quart of clear paint glaze, some paint brushes (2"-2 1/2" is great), bucket of water and acrylic type craft paint. I recommend these colors - black, burnt sienna, raw umber and taupe. You should also purchase some white latex satin paint. These supplies can be bought at your local home improvement store. Shop around, many stores offer different prices.
The very first step is to choose whether or not you want to remove the kitchen cabinet doors and hardware or if you want to leave them on. I believe it is a lot easier just to take them off, because it makes cleaning them much easier. Some would rather leave them on, as it saves time, but damaging your hardware is just a greater cost, so best not to risk it.
Once you have decided what you want to do, you have to wash the cabinet doors off. This will ensure that you have all the dirt, grease, and grime off of them. Then you need to sand all the cabinet doors and then clean them off with a clean dry rag or cloth. This is to ensure no dirt is on the doors that would stop the paint from going on smoothly.
Once you have prepared them, you can start to paint the kitchen cabinets white; this is because using the white paint enables the antiquing paint to show through. Now, if your cabinets are already white, it is still suggested to strip and repaint. The more fresh the white paint, the greater the antique look.
When painted, sand them down once more. This will give them the worn look that you are striving for. Now, it is time to blend your selected color of sienna, taupe, or black into the glaze. BE CAREFUL, as it gets darker the more color you add.
The last step is to apply the glaze on the cabinet. Using your 2-inch paint brush should do the trick, but pay special attention in applying the glaze to the corners and small spots of the kitchen cabinets.
You have about 10 to 15 minutes before the glaze dries to wash off the excess glaze. How much you wash off is up to you; the more you do, the greater the antique look. So keep that in mind!
Once done, presto, you can add your hardware, and re-mount your kitchen cabinet doors. Antiquing your white kitchen cabinets is a great technique to give your kitchen a stunning, cozy, and inviting look.
