Way back in thd 1960s we had antiqued furniture. I have been anitquing all my life! It is so fun to tweak furniture the way you want it to look!

The antiquing gel I love to use is General Finishes Glaze Effects. I buy mine at Woodcraft (disclaimer: I work there). It comes in several colors but for the look you have pictured, go with Pitch Black. Basically you paint your cabinets, let them dry...then apply the glaze and wipe it back off. The dark stays in the nooks and crannies to give you that antique look you are after. You can use a damp cloth to wipe with to get the cleaner look here or you can leave it a little streaky. Good luck!

Hi Betty, This is a really simple thing to do, you want to put lots of plastic and paper to protect the counter tops walls and floors. work with one cabinet at a time, pick up a transparent stain in the color you want for the aging, like chocolate brown, or weathered gray, brush it onto the entire cupboard surface be sure to get it in the crevices etc. then use a clean rag to wipe it off, it will leave marks in crevices and on the finish to look aged, repeat with each until done
