Thank you all for the support on this video! I'm a tiny KZreadr who simply wanted to share a frugal DIY project that worked well for my home. However, there have been a few concerns that aren't mentioned in the video. Please read the notes below before deciding if this is right for you and your home. *PLEASE NOTE* 1. This is my personal experience. You may get different results. I’m not a professional. 2. Briwax has a VERY strong odor! 3. As others have pointed out, it does NOT work on wood that has a polyurethane finish to it. The Briwax will not stick. 4. I suggest trying it on the back of a cabinet door first to see if you get the results you want. 5. If you have specific questions, you can contact Briwax on their website: briwax.com/contact/

@@wordswritteninred7171 before you buy this product and use it, I say this as a former dealer of briwax, it has a terrible very toxic very poisonous odor. If you are looking to truly update your cabinets, painting them white seems to be in Vogue. Also your cabinets are coated with polyurethane, you will have to sand every bit of that off any part of the woods you put the briwax on, or else it will not stick. It will forever be wet on the surface of your cabinets smudging and rubbing off on your hands and clothing. Your kitchen will smell like briwax for months. This product is basically only good for wood that has not been finished. Or that has been completely stripped. On the other hand there are many many many other products, you just need to talk to somebody that knows about them. If you're going to paint them you need to only ruff up the polyurethane surface to make it so the paint will adhere. You did not have to strip the cabinets completely to do it properly.

Thank you E.ily and commenter Danny E that this product has such a very strong odor that lingers so long. Many could never use this product. Or perhaps worse if they had someone else do it while they were out and had no clue...I would have to vacate or be sick and lightheaded..for months? Emily, product aside, you did a great job on everything.

Omg....THANK YOU... this is my kind of kitchen update--no removing doors, no sanding, no painting, I love it!🙌🏾 I'm updating my kitchen now and am *sick* of seeing white cabinets, plus, for me, it's just not a practical finish with 3 kids. Can't wait to try this on my oak cabinets.

Everyone is going to white cabinets. In a few months white will look boring and dull. Then everyone will be saying how wonderful honey oak looks. I’m with you. Every video I’ve seen was about removing all cabinet doors and hardware, sanding 5 times, painting five times and then reattaching all the cabinet doors. Oh yeah, that doesn’t include finishing the cabinet frames. The entire process for a small kitchen with one person doing all the work is over 2 months! They can keep their white cabinets. If anyone comes into my house and disses my honey oak I’ll throw them out 😀. I love honey oak so to heck with the white cabinet snobs 😂😂😂.

So did you do it?

The Briwax really made the wood grain come out in the oak cabinets to give them a different look without painting them. To replace kitchen cabinets can be expensive and sometimes the cabinets that are in the kitchen are good quality and solid wood. I like the knobs and pull handles that you put on the cabinets. They give a more modern look to the cabinets. I like the new kitchen sink faucet too. A good use of money to update your kitchen without construction mess and spending thousands and thousands of dollars. Great job!

Thanks for this. I have honey oak cabinets that I don't love, and I've been trying to decide what to do with them. I can understand why a lot of people would really love this look, and I appreciate your posting this video... because it's confirming that what I really hate about the cabinets is not so much the warm honey color, but the heavy distinctive oak grain. An update that highlights the grain would, I think, just make me hate them more. (This is my preference, y'all. Please don't take it personally.) There's no money in the budget for cabinet replacement and my early-2000s cabinets are pretty sturdy anyway. So I think I'm going to be filling the grain, sanding, priming, and painting -- not that I'm looking forward to that, but I'm convinced it's the way for me to go. Again, I really appreciate seeing what you've done with your cabinets because it's been so helpful to me in knowing what I do and do not want.

This briwax is extremely toxic and has an extremely toxic odor in fact it doesn't even dry if you use it over painted surfaces and it doesn't harden like a normal wax leaving a slick clean finish, I would not use this on anything other than bare wood at least it will soak into the wood and not into your skin when you touch it. I'm surprised this s*** is still on the market. I made custom furniture for a living, I am very familiar with this product.

I owe Emily a huge apology. I blamed the process and the product on my lack of success, when in reality it was my own inexperience and impatience that caused my poor result. I kept trying and finally got the hang of it! My results were not as good as Emily’s, but that is mainly because the finish on many of my cabinets was in pretty rough shape. But! On the areas where the finish was fairly intact, my results were good. I also used Dark Brown, as opposed to the Tudor Brown, and I think that was also an issue. The darker wax got into those places where the finished was trashed, and made those spots MUCH darker than the other areas. I think with the Tudor, the contrast would have been less obvious. Couple things I learned that gave me much better results - first, use the smallest amount of wax that you can. Second, don’t buff too hard! Gently, just enough to give it a nice luster. And third….if you really need to go over an area more than once, use a tiny amount of wax and just barely touch your previous coat. New wax dissolves old wax! I’ve done all the wood in the house (kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a linen closet) on 1 and a half cans of Briwax. I think that if I were to do it again, I could probably do it in one can because I wasted a LOT. Emily, THANK YOU for this video….and don’t listen to idiots like me who blame you for their own incompetence, LOL.

I totally understand what you are saying! Yes, I love a more antique or traditional style too. I hope this works for you!

After watching other videos where colored wax was used to change the look of wood, I wondered if it would work to change the color of my "orangey" oak cabinets without having to sand. I googled that question and your video popped up. Not only was my life changed, but you have my exact kitchen!!!! I was able to learn how to execute exactly what I was hoping to be able to do with my cabinets, PLUS I already know what it will look like!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for the time you spent making this video and giving others the confidence to see that, like you, we really can do most projects ourselves....we just need to be shown how.

Yay! I’m so happy this video was helpful. That is exactly why I made it. I couldn’t find any other videos explaining the process and I knew others would want to see it like I did! 😁

Great job!! You're still keeping the oak cabinets looking the same only better instead of making them look like CHEAP mdf.

You're the best.Saving time ,money yet looks fantastic.

I've been looking to upgrade our kitchen on a budget since we won't stay in this house forever. I have the same oak cabinets in this honey color, I absolutely love this idea and will first try it in our bathrooms and powder room to practice! I will certainly follow you for more ideas! Thank you!!!

@@queenofthehousehold I'll share a before and after!

I watched this video and ordered everything used. I had 1950 kitchen cabinets with useless brass ornate center pulls. Removed all 20 from drawers and cupboards. Cleaned, Bri wax ( used a paint brush) , wood filler in two holes of each cupboard, added new modern bar handles to each corner and all drawers. Had hubby involved to drill holes. I can’t stop admiring our work. Cost me around $80.00 total and they look WONDERFUL! Thank you. The Brie wax soaked into worn areas around the corners of frequently used cupboards since the middle pulls were useless, making the cupboards look new. They are walnut, but I used the same color as you since they was out of the darkest color.

I have an 1980 wood wall that needs updating. I dreaded the idea of sanding and re-staining. Thanks to you I have a much easier option!

Hi Dolores! Thank you! I believe it would work over stained wood.

Ordered a can to try on a cabinet in the hallway if I like it will do my kitchen cabinets. Thank you so much for posting this video 😊
