My bathroom cabinets were looking a hot mess, so I decided to do something about it last weekend. Because my husband and I are still renting, it's not like I could take them in some creative new direction, so I just gave them a new coat of wood stain to give them a refreshed look. And the result you ask? They turned out more gorgeous than I could have imagined! I also looked into new hardware, but have you seen how expensive hardware can be? Ouch! Instead, I took my trusty old spray paint and painted those cabinet pulls, and you know what? I love them now!
By the way, these pictures really don't do these cabinets justice. It totally transformed the look of the space.
Here is what my cabinets looked like before:

Materials
- Stain (approx. $12) This will last you forever. The amount of liquid in the can went down by maybe a centimeter by the time I was finished with it.
- Flat-edge paintbrush ($5)
- Dropcloth ($1) or cardboard boxes flattened.
- Acrylic paint and brush ($2) (optional - for damaged wood)
- Sanding tool ($3.74) (optional - are you gonna be a square and play by the rules or do it the fun way? Just kidding.)
Time - approximately 2 - 2.5 hrs
