The kitchen cabinets were in pretty good shape. They were generally free of dings, but some did have a few scratches. The bigger issue was that they were dull and dirty, and the finish had been worn down or even off in some places (like where they were grabbed to be pulled open). I also wasn’t in love with the orangey tone of them. So, enter Briwax. Painting requires sanding and precise application of the paint. I knew I didn’t want to spend that much time or detail painting my cabinets. Hello, I love this idea! What did you do to the areas of the cabinets surrounding the cabinet doors? Did you wax them the same as the cabinet doors?

Rub the wax on, generally going with the grain. I found it easy to use a little extra and then just wipe off rather than trying to spread too little around. The picture below shows the very beginning of my process on this door. I started in the corners and edges first, then wiped the flat recessed panel of the door next.Along the edges where the grain is perpendicular to the edge, I just sort of globbed it on, then was sure to buff in the direction of the grain.Now that the surface of the wood has been properly prepared, the can start to apply the wax. Here I have used just a little bit on the kitchen towel, and rubbed it into the wood in all directions to get it into the grain really well. Before applying the stain, I strongly recommend wearing gloves as it is a bit messy. Then using a cloth cover the section of cupboard you are staining. This is the best part. You don’t have to remove the cupboards unless you want to. You also don’t have to sand them! Just wash away any grime.
