I found this cabinet a few years ago for a steal on Facebook Marketplace (that was originally $1,000+ from Horchow), and I was terrified to change the stain.
In the past, I’ve stripped off old stain and varnish to restain, and it was a lengthy, messy process every time. To avoid wood stripper, I’ve even spent hours sanding stain off of furniture. All that time, mess, and energy just to change the color of a stain!
But gel stain? It is your best friend. It will make you wonder why you ever looked at a can of paint stripper in the past.
Now that this wood cabinet is a rich, deep coffee tone, it’s like it was meant to be this color all along. I’m so in love!
