Can I distress The finished piece can be refinished with glaze (thinned paint) or varnish, if wanted. Sandpaper and paint stripper are used to remove old paint and to get back to the bare wood. You don't achieve this by whacking at the wood with a sledge-hammer, either! We want to end up with a piece that is very authentic looking and looks as though it has been aged naturally over the decades.
This is not what we are after! Have you seen those 'distressed' pieces in trendy furniture shops where the distressing method has obviously been to press imprints into the timber or wood, with an instrument in places precisely measured to be equidistant from one another? The aim is to have a 'look' that is rustic, imperfect and aged. Mostly these involve removing layers of paint in uneven patches, leaving remnants of layers that show different colors, or even bare wood beneath. There are many methods of aging wooden furniture.
Distressed cabinets are used to give a kitchen a vintage, antique style. In decorative arts, distressing is the art of making pieces look very old and worn. Do you want to create 'distressed look' kitchen cabinets and give a whole new look to your kitchen or other areas?
