Which white is best for a farmhouse kitchen? I saw a pin where white was used on the upper cabinets and gray was used on the lower cabinets. Which color is a nice gray for a smallish kitchen with low ceilings that gets morning sun but not a lot of light.

You could apply a polycrylic to minimize the yellowing, but be advised that most finished used instead of Annie's clear wax will cause some yellowing.

Now onto...Hi Dena, thank you for your high praise!! Now onto the painting stuff: you can paint unfinished wood easily with Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan. Some woods will bleed and most likely the maple will be fine but the oak will bleed. I had one kitchen with Alder cabinets and as I recall it was a similar look to a knotty pine and that might bleed as well. I would do a test area on the cabinets and see if there is any bleeding and if not carry on. If the wood bleeds then stop and seal the cabinet with Zinsser clear shellac. The best way to apply it is to rub it on with a lint free cloth, although messy. Let the shellac thoroughly dry before repainting with Chalk Paint. After you paint if you see you have any break through bleed spots, then spot shellac and repaint just that area. Then finish with the wax. Good Luck, you are going to love them!Amy Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622362955890810774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-69062914138507697812013-10-29T02:50:00.905-04:002013-10-29T02:50:00.905-04:00Seriously Amy, YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!

Between the gorgeous dining room chairs transformation, this amazing kitchen makeover, and your thriving business, well, frankly...I just want to be you! I am so inspired by this (by you) that I am going to commit to a major kitchen overhaul, using ASCP for my cabinets. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and experience!<br /><br />One Q though....if I'm putting up all new, unfinished cabinetry (most likely maple or alder uppers...and PERHAPS oak for the island) -- will these instructions remain the same? I ask because you mentioned bleed-through could result from sanding off a protective top-coat, and unfinished cabs presumably would not have one. Any thoughts? <br /><br />DenaBrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14930472117173323029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-60502462869952294442013-09-27T13:25:21.743-04:002013-09-27T13:25:21.743-04:00HI Abby, To remove excess dark wax just apply some...HI Abby, To remove excess dark wax just apply some clear wax and remove with a cloth. It will lighten up the dark wax and you should be able to play with how dark your piece is. Hope this helps. You can remove all the wax by rubbing down with a cloth with mineral spirits. Then you would have to reapply wax, and you could choose to just use clear or very little dark wax this time.Amy Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622362955890810774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-61269129315864798342013-09-27T12:27:30.694-04:002013-09-27T12:27:30.694-04:00Thank You!

How much did you use for your cabinets? <br /><br />I recently painted an ornate bench with AS Paint in Paris Gray and applied the dark wax waaaayyyy to heavy. Is there anything I can to to correct this?

I will be painting my stained cabinets someday - still shy about it and deciding on a color though. My cabinets are custom made, nearly 30 years old now, and are "pine" and it feels like they have a wax finish on them already, on the doors anyway. Would the chalk paint possibly not adhere if this is the case? Maybe I would have to do a major sanding job beforehand to make sure that the wax is removed and then do the shellac?<br />Michelle Jamieson / newengland-style.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471864221681566489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-17796356121575170612013-09-12T12:34:30.818-04:002013-09-12T12:34:30.818-04:00That's a great idea.

I had to prime my "white" cabinets first only because spots of grease kept coming through, but they are fine now. Mine are also topped with a non-yellowing varnish for extra protection. Stop by and take a look, it's been 6 months and I couldn't be happier!<br />SusanHomeroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466121382989231017noreply@blogger.com
