DIY Bathroom Cabinets makeover!!

   I finally decided to stain my bathroom cabinets. After, looking to see what is the best way to stain my cabinets and searching through the internet, I saw most people using the general stain gel Java! I took a risk using another stain from Home Depot called Varathane Wood stain in Kona color and the Polyurethane.

   This was the first time using wood stain! As a newbie I am so glad and happy with the results!

   I did 2 coats inside the door cabinets and 3 coats on the outside. Along, with 3 coats of Poly!
This wasn't a weekend job! Took a week to do. Make sure you completely let the stain dry well. Same for the Poly. As a newbie I learned a lot on this. Now I know  next time I will use cloth instead of
Foam brush. Also, the stain needs a very very thin coat. My first coat took FOREVER to Dry!! It took a good 24 hours.

                          This was the 2nd coat of stain.
and here is the results!
I love love IT!
I do plan to put wood trim around the mirrors and will change our faucets soon!
Last here is a mini fix I did around the toilet. I put in a shelve but since I space it a little to high I will look for a picture to put under.

Have a blessed day!
