Thanks so much for doing this. Question...could i do the thinner then a QUICK STAIN (stain the whole thing) all over? Not just the bummed areas? Like a lazy stain without having to sand. Or, just stop being lazy and do it right is the better option?
Great video. The problem we had was hard to stain the sun faded blotched part. The stain would not work because the remaining finish blocked the stain..
What if the cabinets are painted burgundy and not a natural wood finish. And some of the wood paint has peeled off. How would you stain that after cleaning with murphys? Or do u recommend i repaint the cabinet. Thanks.
Whoa. Waaaay too much work for a “difference” (??) nobody would notice. Time to call the contractor and order a new kitchen, preferably in something other than 1990’s walnut.
New kitchen cabinets for me was quoted at $40,000. I can't afford that. Plus the environmental concerns - my 20 yo cabinets still in pretty good shape why trash them? (Some only need cleaning.) Good contractors hard to find/long wait time and won't do small jobs. So this is a DIY. Plus you learn more with each project. So grateful I found this vid. Will start project next week.
Exactly the same…have maple colored cabinets and would like to change them to cherry and add some hardware…wondering how it will come out…i may try to do the back of one of the cabinets and see how it comes out
I've got 90’s oak and this is exactly what I'm looking for! The cabinet & drawer look refreshed compared to the rt ones. You want a different look, then you're not gonna want to do this.
Just what I was looking for to refresh my solid oak cabinets without replacing or painting them! Thx!
About to do give my kitchen cabinets a facelift. This video helped tremendously. Thanks!
Good Luck!

You can do that...it just might take longer to dry but it should work fine.

How thick should a wood box be?
Very helpful, thanks

You would need to strip off the paint before applying wood stain. That is quite a job. Would be easier just to repaint them.
What about water spots?
I guess that depends on how big and bad the spots are.
You partially stripped the cabinet, misleading title lol
Why not remove the hardware BEFORE cleaning? That way you can get all the grunge where the hardware was sitting.

First of all it's not alot of work. Also, is saves thousands rather than replacing. 3rd its Cherry not walnut.
Nobody would notice? I guess maybe if you did it, lol.,something a snowflake would say, i cant wait to do this to my OLD birch kitchen cabinets!
