ohhh! answer to my complaining! I feel a honey do list coming on! How do I enter the contest? or order? My kitchen cabinets are pickled oak (or yuck in other words). My counter tops are black and grey formica and the applicances are white. I really, REALLY, like the distressed white cabinets!

My kitchen cabinets are the white laminate type. Will your products cover this since its not wood? Thanks,

Hi,
Can you please let me know specially what colors are used in this white kitchen transformation? I want to repaint my cabinets white, and want them to look only slightly distressed…I think this kitchen looks pretty similar to what I would love to do….do you have any larger and/or additional pics of this kitchen along with the specific caromal colours I would need to order to achieve this? Thanks so much!!
Erin
Cabinets were honey oak, color used was Wisteria Textured Basecoat – it is white. If I’m not mistaken, they did not even use Toner to glaze over them, they left them crisp white. I don’t have other pictures of this kitchen, unfortunately, but a close up example, that I have to this, which was also done over honey oak, and used the Wisteria, and did not have toning glaze applied was this cabinet door-
you can see I slightly sanded the edges to add some distressed effect. Does this help?
