In reply to Cheri Jones. I think it depends on how dark your stain is to begin with. If it's too dark, you would have to sand down the old finish in order to lighten it up.

Can you go lighter with your stain? I, too, have a re tint on my cabinets, but would like to go with a grayish gel. Have you tried that?

Going from light to a sleekly dark shade, eh? That’s a bold move, but the effects are splendid. It did suit well with the rest of house’s interior. Cheers for nailing this makeover!

OOh I like it! Makes it look so much more dramatic! They are beautiful doors to begin with, but that really took it over the top. 🙂

It’s already striking, but, yeah, it would be even better if you would coat the casing with some stain too. Although the contrast isn’t bad, there’s just something that seems odd, which I frustratingly can’t pinpoint. Katie@Renewal by Andersen® of Los Angeles

Love them so much. Uh oh, don't make me want to run out and get wood doors. I like the white trim on the inside but both are nice.
