Here are 2 of my before pictures. You can see in the first one all the dirt & grime that had built up.
In this one you can see how faded the cabinets had become and it shows the brass knobs too.
Now check out the side by side of the drawers that I took. The first one is before I cleaned with Murphy's. The second is after cleaning and then finishing off with some Old English. The difference is amazing!
Here is another one I took of a door that I had only 1/2 way finished with the Old English. You can really see the difference here. I had not finished the left side yet.
And this is of the doors under the sink.
The one on the left is finished. I had not touched the one on the right yet.
I am quite proud of myself! I can actually live with the cabinets a while longer now. I may even get really ambitious and decide to paint them. . still mulling that one over. And I still need to paint the drawer pulls as I really do not like the brass. Nothing else in the house is brass so it really doesn't match anything.
I think my next big kitchen project is going to be those counter tops. Ugh!! The previous owners used 12 x 12 tiles that are uneven and not level. And then they finished it off with baseboards which also are not attached properly and are too big. Ahhhh the joys of owning your house! :-)
I will be sure to update as I get the drawer knobs done.
