Antiquing my Cabinets

A couple months back I painted my medium oak cabinets off white. I finally got around to putting the stain on them that makes them look antique. This project was very simple yet very time consuming since I am a perfectionist.

Here are the cabinets painted cream....

I used Valspar Translucent color glaze from Home Depot and the color I chose was Mocha. I also used Valspar Kitchen and Bath enamel paint when I originally painted the oak cabinets white after sanding and using Valspar primer a few months back.To Strain the cabinet doors I brushed on a generous amount of stain in all the creases..... I then used an old t-shirt as a rag to wipes away excess paint not pressing to hard in the areas I wanted to be darker..... I used the same concept for the drawer fronts but with a gentler approach since the creases were not as deep in order to achieve the look....The cabinet in the left was before and the right is after... And here is the finished project...

Now all I need is new counter tops and appliances "Pretty Please"
