17. How to antique cabinets - any pratical advice?

Remove the cabinet doors, as well as the hinges, knobs and other fixtures. The process of antiquing cabinets is much easier, and you will get more streamlined results if you take your cabinets apart before attempting an antiquing treatment. Remember to set the screws, hinges and other attachments in a safe place where they won't get lost. Use sandpaper to rough up all of the cabinet surfaces that you plan on antiquing. Be sure just to remove the top finish. High-gloss cabinets will require extra sanding. Clean the cabinets with a wet rag so that paint will adhere to them, and make sure they are free of sanding dust. Glazing involves applying a thinned paint mixture, called a glaze, over the cabinet surfaces in order to create antique white cabinets. Distressing is a method of visually aging wood by causing intentional damage to the surface with a variety of instruments. Crackle finish is a faux painting technique for antiquing cabinets that results in a crackled paint effect. Glaze your cabinets. Distress your cabinets. The purpose of distressing is to achieve an effect of years of wear and tear. When antiquing cabinets, you may distress them as much or as little as you prefer. Apply a crackle finish.
