May 7th, 2008 | by admin |mommy2andynana asked:
We bought a new house but the kitchen cabinet’s are a light oak color I would like to stain them darker like an expresso color how can I do it with out making them look cheap? I tried sanding them since they have a clear coat( no stain) on them, but when I put down the stain it just would’t take it. Do I need an oil base stain or one that has the stain and sealer.
HELP!!

Here is a great website about staining cabinets! I heard it is a little tedious but worth it in the end. Good Luck!
