We built our house 17 years ago and my kitchen is crying for a little spruce! I have white painted cabinets, which I still love, but they've gotten a little naturally distressed over the years and I think I'd like to go with that and distress them a little more. I have shiny brass hardware and light fixture which I'd like to replace with wrought iron-ish stuff. My island, which has a cooktop and cozy dining nook I'd like to do distressed black. And I've got white laminate countertops and backsplash. I'd like to go with a darker countertop and tile or something on the backsplash.<br />I guess my question is this: any tips on taking white cabinets to a distressed finish? And for taking a white island to a black distressed finish? Love, love, love your blog! This may not be the place to ask questions, but I have one!
