Refinishing cabinets...................illumy

Ok, my next project is to refinish my cabinets....(not reface) I have scratches on my (red oak/cherrywood) cabinets, enough to show the natural wood. I bought one of those crayons to fill it in for a temporary thing. But check this out! I have a pretty big kitchen. On one side the cabinets are one type of "cherry wood color" and on the other side of the room is a darker cherry color. I want the darker cherrywood......... Ok........should I sand the lighter cabinets down THEN stain? OR should I just go OVER the current color to match the darker cherry wood(or will it be too dark then?)? I did get a quote to have my cabinets professional done & it is $2000!!!! I could buy NEW cabinets for that cost!!! Thanks again!

But good luck trying to find GOOD cabinets for $2000. I just remodeled our kitchen and replaced the old handmade plywood cabinets. $5000. not counting countertop. Or installation. BossLady

Date: 10/24/2001 ( From Author ) From Authorid: 21203 Nah, my cabinets are plain. I like that. Spit Fire told me to go to www.hgtv.com and I did AND found it! I have a lot of work ahead of me! But I think it will be worth it.

Date: 10/30/2001 4:59:00 PM From Authorid: 10245 use the back of one of your cabinet doors for testing the match... easy to hide! I'd try going over the lighter ones with a darker shade before attempting to strip them all! That's a LOT of work!
