Antique kitchen cabinets give your kitchen a
distinctive look and this is what sets it apart from others. There is no
dearth of styles, when it comes to decorating your kitchen with antique
kitchen cabinets. If you don't want to spend adequate money on searching
for antique cabinets for kitchen, then you can try out some easy ideas
to add antiquity to your kitchen cabinet. There are basically two
procedures of adding antiquity, namely, staining and distressing.
Well, its upto whether you want to use a single method or use a
combination of both, to make your kitchen appear fascinating. The method
of staining works well in case of cabinets that have a light paint
color. All that is required is a dark stain, plenty of paper towels and
brush. Apply a single layer of the stain on the portion that you want to
paint and then wipe it off as per your wish. Repeat the activity till it
reaches your satisfaction level. For the natural look, stain more on the
edges and handles of the cabinet.
Another popular way of giving your kitchen cabinet a traditional look
consists of distressing. The method is apt for the painted cabinets. The
changed look will make the cabinet appear as old as after hundreds of
years of use. Some people resort to chains and hammers, however, for
kitchen cabinets; a few sandpapers would suffice the purpose. All you
have to do is to remove the finish and make the cabinet appear dull.
Take a medium grit paper and rub off the finish on the door and the
edges of the drawer and your antique style kitchen cabinet is ready to
adorn your kitchen.
