#ad #minwaxpartner Building a transforming cabinet!
I wanted to build this clever cabinet that transforms to save space. I partnered with minwaxusa on this piece and used their Color Series product in a Semi-Transparent finish to achieve a lighter bleached look.
I used a tighter-grained Douglas fir for this design and I didn’t want the finish to be too warm toned and amber, so I used Minwax Color Series in Warm White to lighten it up, and make the grain pattern pop.

I love Minwax oil-based stains, especially for larger projects, because they don’t dry as fast as water-based stains, giving me more time between application and wiping the stain off. Their Color-Series Stain also comes in 240+ tintable colors at loweshomeimprovement.
After staining, I protected it with a top coat of Minwax Wipe-On Poly.
