We had this old cabinet in the house. I have wanted to stain it for a long time. I had NO idea how to do it. lol! I'm much better with cakes. My daughter Ryan persuaded me so we took a trip to Home Depot. They helped us pick out our tools and we were off! 3 hours later in the hot garage (smelling a LOT like paint thinner and wood stain).....we DID IT!!! yay!!! Here's how it turned out.
