Vintage Painted Kitchen Cabinets Light Tuscan Sample
Vintage Painted Kitchen Cabinets Light Tuscan Sample is a lovely style of cabinet finishing that is an elegantly aged look. This term is often used in a variety of ways. For this purpose, Vintage means a classic timeless look that feels warm and inviting, the opposite of a stark “right off the shelf” look of cabinetry. This is most often achieved with the soft look of a glaze technique over the kitchen cabinet color.

Prepare area to be painted by taping off walls and areas that you don’t want to get paint on. Use plastic and cloth drop cloths to protect floors, counter tops and appliances.
After all Cabinet doors, bases and drawers have been sanded and cleaned according to your surface as noted in surface guide, begin painting.
MixMIX • Primer Mix - Mix Gallon Off White Coat with 2 oz Earth Brown Colorant and 2 oz Burnt Sienna. Mix well with paint stick or use a hand mixer dedicated for this purpose. With the Use of Set Coat, you do not need to also prime the cabinet first. This product acts as a primer diving deep into the surface. If using a sprayer, you need to thin this product with water about 10-20%. Test until the mixture drips one drip per second from a paint stick. (See section on sprayer tips for help) • Stain Mix – Mix together One Quart of FX Thinner to 12 oz of Rich Brown Stain and Seal and 12 oz of Antique Walnut Stain and Seal. Add about 10% So Slow Extender. • Glaze Mix - 1 quart Aqua Glaze with ¼ cup American Walnut Stain and Seal, ¼ cup Rich Brown Stain and Seal, ¼ cup Earth Brown Faux Color and 2Tablespoons of Burnt Sienna Faux Color.
“HOW TO” STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS APPLICATIONPour some of the SET COAT mixture into a small paint tray. When brushing, paint the recessed areas of the cabinet doors first with a cut/slanted paint brush painting in one direction. Then complete the process with the foam roller on the flat spaces. Be sure to saturate the roller, but offload excess paint on tray so you have no drips. Do the same process on the bases, flat spaces and drawers.***Hint, it is not necessary to empty all the cabinets of their contents, just push items away from edge and tape the inner trim areas to paint neatly. It is also not necessary to paint inside the box areas of the cabinets. Let Dry Fours Hours or preferably overnight. After having done this step for your primer, you may now apply this as a second coat (if you like this as a final color) OR Apply second coat in the same manner BUT with Sherwin Williams Kilm Beige paint. With the use of Set Coat as a primer, you should be able to just apply one coat of the SW Kilm Beige. Now you are ready for the next step of the Vintage Painted Kitchen Cabinets Light Tuscan Sample. Sand Edges and areas that would wear naturally – corners, edges, near handles. Be sure to sand in the direction of the natural grain. Do not sand in random areas that would not naturally wear. I am sure you have seen some furniture with poorly done distressing that looks like a factory random removal of paint. For all Vintage, Painted Kitchen Cabinets including the Light Tuscan Sample, the idea here is to create a beautiful custom kitchen cabinet that looks like high end furniture. You may adjust the degree of distressing by adding some nicks in the wood. I recommend a few nail holes, some depressions and a just a touch of wormholes. Do not overdo this step. A classic look is the goal.The next step is to stain the pieces. In the Staining Step, you take the Second Mixture called Stain Mixture above (made with FX Thinner) and Brush in a downward motion with a chip brush in the natural direction of the wood grain. Let the Stain settle deeply into the recently sanded areas. NOW, the next step is very important and is what allows this to look old and like a Vintage Painted Kitchen Cabinets Light Tuscan Sample. You take a balled up piece of cheesecloth and pat the stained areas in a downward motion and remove about 70% of the stain as you go. Then go back over with a fresh ball of cheese cloth and stroke (rather than pat) downward as you go. This creates two different motions in the stain and resembles natural aging processes in wood. 
Complete this step on all cabinet surfaces. And let this dry very well – Overnight is best! The next step is to apply a toning glaze the pieces. Why glaze a vintage piece? Furniture or cabinetry ages over time. If the wood is distressed, the painted color would fade as well. SO you must add the vintage look by glazing the cabinet. It will be a soft elegant touch that sets apart a custom kitchen cabinet. This is an awesome finish for kitchen islands! This also goes very well with many stone kitchen backsplashes. Glaze Step Use the mixture you prepared (see above). Apply a thin coat of glaze with the 2” Chip brush going in the direction of the grain of the wood. Use the 4”chip brush in the larger areas like flat spaces at the cabinet ends or large pantry doors. Cover the entire door with glaze. While the glaze is wet, remove the desired amount (usually about 80 %) with a rag. Do not use a cheesecloth here, because we want a stroked look that is different to the prior step. This allows the glaze the gather in the recessed spaces. You may leave more or less on for a custom kitchen cabinet look. You will have glaze collecting in the recently sanded edges and will color these spaces slightly which is what you want. An aged edge would not be the stark wood color of recently sanded wood. Let this dry overnight.
TOPCOATAfter this has dried overnight, apply top coat of AquaGuard Flat in the same manner with brush and roller. Allow this to dry at least 24 hours before using cabinetry or replacing hardware.Now you have a magnificent Light Tuscan Vintage Painted Kitchen Cabinets.
