Vintage White Antique Cabinet Makeover

Vintage Cabinet Makeover

Reusing my old cabinets was a must with my kitchen makeover. First of all who the hell has 15k for "new particle board" crap cabinets. I live in Florida , ok... moisture and particle board do not tolerate each other and well they turn back to sawdust quickly.  Well then I could always spend 25k and get real wood cabinets to replace the current. But why I pondered? These cabinets where made in the 1980s. Much higher end than I could afford today! Country style for sure with dark brown and lots of twang! Then again I was dying to see the router edges and details come alive with some patina and paint. I wanted to keep an update and I have a link to the page explaining how I got this look. Its fool prof cleaning and forgiving in high traffic areas. I just think patina glaze was made just for me!
I am just posting this as a follow up! I will be working on a concrete counter-top with broken mirror for the kitchen. Check in I will keep pictures coming so add me to your favorites and see how it comes out! I would love to hear your comments or questions!

And the product!

Here you can see a plate rack addition made from dowels. Very simple to construct, pain in my rear to paint! We also are making a wine?/mug glass holder under the right hand cabinet.

Here is a shot without it, we also are going to add crown to the top! They are real wood and worth it!

Priced out replacement of this quality (they are solid brass )... they wanted 21. a piece! I was born at night... but not last night. Grab the steel wool honey mommies going in!

There will also be a lovely sea-foam green subway tile back splash coming soon! Ha! Did you notice the missing microwave handle! That is the mother of all  plastic handle technology & genius quality right there I tell ya! Sure charge over 800 bucks and give it a hollow plastic handle! Way to get to the customers heart! I am getting new ones as soon as I win the lottery.

No more country chic dark brown! Very happy with the result!

I encourage you to do this your self!
