i am preparing to distress my kitchen island, kithen chairs, and table legs. They all have different finishes on them. Do I need to do some special prep, I don’t want them all to look different in the end. Maybe a consistant primer coat on chairs and table legs to make them similar? Should the island be the same also??

I am wanting to do the same distressed look on my kitchen cabinets. My cabinets are a honey color. They don’t have any raised areas except for a small decorative groove on the fronts of the cabinets. Very ranch style. Can I do this with this style of cabinet? Do I use white or a cream colored paint to achieve the distressed look? Also, what do I do after painting the cabinets?

Hi Nancy, because your cabinets are varnished, they will definitely need to be properly prepped first. You have to rough up the surface with sandpaper so that the cream colored paint will stick and not peel off later on.
