A lil Faux Paux can go a LONG way....

Some people say "never paint oak!" Well I kinda did a faux paux and oops, they are painted! How did I do it?

Supplies: Mix of glaze and desired paint color 2:1 ratio, water bowl, dry rag,wet rag,rub rag

Step 2: Open cabinet doors ( no you can't have my Mr. Incredibles cup)


Step Three: Take pre-moistened rag and drizzle glaze, about this much...

Step Four: Rub, pop tylenol, rub till desired shade!

Step Five: Once you the outer and inner area evenly coated, take paint brush and apply glaze on edging as shown

Step 6: Wrap dry rag around finger as shown and crook finger and start at top or bottom and Step 7: rub and straight line all the way down the side of the cabinet

Step 7: rub in a straight line all the way down the side of the cabinet



Step 8: You basically want the dark to stick to any recessed areas: wipe and clean up everywear else :) till looks something like this...

So when we bought this house I had a vision...I could picture this kitchen in my head! Well a couple gallons of paint, a bottle of tylenol, and the "Dirty Dancing,Mamma Mia,Taylor Swift" sing a long music LATER....we had this.....
