Camila Farah
White stained or whitewashed cabinetry has been around a long time but it s getting a fresh look in decidedly more modern spaces such as in this rustic modern beauty.
Stains range from one solid color that hide many imperfections of the wood to transparent stains that show most of its natural beauty. Stain is applied on wood to change the color enhance the grain or to protect cabinets from damage. Depending on the species white stained wood tends to look a bit pink though and if you pair it with yellowish greens the pinkness will be more pronounced. When the stain matches the rest of the kitchen cabinets use the result to paint on the cabinet door.
The application takes only a few hours and requires no special tools other than a paintbrush. With the right stain a sander and a rag your kitchen cabinets can be transformed in days. Cabinets can be stained underneath another finishing technique to create an alternative final aesthetic. Staining kitchen cabinets is an easy inexpensive method for turning a worn outdated kitchen into something beautiful and warm and modern.

With light stained cabinets go the other way around. Another way to tint stained cabinets is to wipe off the wax and grease with water.
