Pantry cupboards (in transition)

The pantry cupboards that we are installing, were already here. Warner said that they needed burned. But "my mother" was coming out in me and I just couldn't throw them away, just to go spend several hundred/thousand on new ones. So therefore, I decided to paint them and then do an antique glaze over that. The stain that Warner bought was darker than I had in mind; 'practicing my submission' I just went ahead and used it! And I was going to use the oil base polyurethane,that we already had, for the insides, but Warner said that it would stink too bad. And being a wife who is in subjection to her husband.... and the daughter that my mother raised (frugal that is).... I couldn't throw away the mostly full can of stain/poly that was left over after I glazed the cupboards or just burn gas to run into town for one little thing. So instead, I used it on the insides of the cupboards.

The doors .... before....

and .... after.
