How should I update my builder grade honey oak cabinets?
+6
I have the mid nineties builder grade honey oak cabinets that so many people are painting these days. My husband loves the idea of me updating them, but he has two requests: he wants to still see the wood grain & he wants to go light (beige, gray, cream...) I have used GF gel oil stain & love it, but they do not have any colors that fit the bill. What would you suggest?

Maybe go for a Limed Oak look!
How about a white wash with the color of your choice, dilute the paint and the grain will show through, practice in an unnoticeable section first-like the back of a drawer. Find the right dilution you like and make enough of it to do your entire project.
