I couldn't afford to tear them out, but they were very dated, so we added some trim to make them look like Shaker style cabinets and I painted with ASCP. Because I use my kitchen and cook every day, I knew that I need a more durable surface than the wax would give me, so on the advice of my stockist I used Valspar water based clear poly. They were beautiful and very durable!

It has been probably 5 or 6 years since I purchased it but they always have similar ones from time to time still.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283260830637529760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594728572456250670.post-6734064372019450222016-08-22T17:39:30.596-05:002016-08-22T17:39:30.596-05:00LOVE the kitchen.

Though mine held up extremely well minus the one drip it prevented me from ever painting my bottoms to match because the finish would to look the same since I used the wax on top. I would have had to sand down everything I previously painted to get the wax gone and start over. Hubby liked the wood two tone though so it worked out great! Next kitchen is totally different from this though!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283260830637529760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594728572456250670.post-90044162282502864672016-08-22T14:08:07.947-05:002016-08-22T14:08:07.947-05:00I use wax on the creamy whites on furniture and ha...I use wax on the creamy whites on furniture and have not had any issues. It is interesting to hear each persons individual experience with it. All thing stop take into consideration before using. I used it paint our bathroom vanity and that was 5 years ago and it still is going strong.

I agree about wax, as well. On one hand, my kitchen has held up fine with wax on uppers and lowers, but I waxed the white furniture in my girls rooms, and I wish I had used a non-yellowing poly as I cannot clean where they spilled makeup, etc. The tops of their dressers have not held up like poly would have. My kitchen cabinets are gray, so maybe that's why I've had no issues with them, but the creamy whites I would never, ever use any kind of wax on again.
