Finishes: Cabinet Finishes • Before & After Transformation • Close up
Whitewashed kitchen cabinets can dramatically change the look of a dark kitchen to a light, welcoming and visually larger space.

This is what the kitchen looked like before with dark cabinets.
The colorwash treatment was applied in layers to allow some wood grain to show.

Hello Joseph, I apologize for the late response. I’m just now seeing your comment and wanted you to know that I really appreciate it. Thank you. — Ashley
Hi I love the whitewashed cupboards, I am thinking of doing mine similar. However I am curious to know did u completely strip your cupboards first or simply sand them a bit? What products did you use? Is there a clear coat on top? Thanks
Hello Meaghan,
Thanks for your comment! To answer you questions: I did not strip the cabinet surfaces but did sand heavily. Used several coats diluted paint and glaze to allow existing grain and some natural coloring to show. Yes, there is a clear, water-based protective coating on top. All the best for your project — Ashley
