Anyone familiar with Kitchenmaid stains?
I am purchasing a Kitchenmaid cabinet (yeah, I know, I'm supposed to make my
own). It as moss green glaze on bead board. I am running about another 40'
of bead board and want to match it to the cabinet. Kitchemaid sells 4x8
sheets of glazed beadboard for about $350 each! HD carries 4x8 beadboard
for $20 each and has a 5 mm veneer of birch, supposedly unfinished. Since
the purchased cabinet is also birch, I should have a good chance of matching
the cabinet color on the HD beadboard by buying a glaze "kit" from
Kitchenmaid. I guess it is a 2 or 3 step process and costs about $120 per
quart of stain and glaze.
I'm leaning towards giving it a try (buy HD birch beadboard and stain/glaze
it) rather than spending over $1000 on 3 4x8 glazed panels.
Any experiences with this stuff?
Thanks,
