Why Refinish ? Cover up mismatched joined grain !

Can you spot the mismatched grain 

and unmatched stain sections ?

(Hint, its the last two really bad looking doors on the right upper cabinet section).

Sometimes little deficiencies like this drive homeowners nuts after a while of looking at it.

You'll also notice the base cabinet veneers

are too light and do not look even close to the hardwood maple doors on the uppers.

Another reason to refinish that kitchen,

Hide the faded Early American Stain

and dulled, mismatched grain areas

with a solid opaque waterborne

lacquer.

Generally speaking,stain and UV clears only last 10 years before a refinish is in order.
