This can be a very enjoyable home improvement project for anyone to undertake; all you need are the right supplies and a few steps to keep in mind along the way. Here's a quick breakdown of what you'll need to do to distress your antique cabinets yourself, including a few tips from SFGate's Home Guides:

• Clean Cabinets Thoroughly: Before you get started you'll want to remove cabinets and drawers, take off the pulls and knobs, and completely wipe down the cabinet. Complete the preparation process with some painter's tape and plastic sheeting, lightly sand the surface area, and remove the resulting dust.

• Apply Primer & Paint: Make sure you choose the right primer for the job before getting started. Apply the primer, let it dry, and lightly sand the cabinets again before applying one or two coats of paint. Use a rag to apply the paint in circular motions, and you'll start the distressed look off in style.

• Further Distress Through Scuffing & Wearing: Use a sanding block to sand the edges, corners, and grooves of the molding. You can also chisel pieces off the corners and dent the wood, but it's important to be careful and make sure your cabinet can handle the punishment that comes with the harsher distressing techniques.

• Apply Glaze & Protect Your Work: Apply an acrylic glaze mix to your cabinet with wiping or scrubbing techniques that will give it a more worn look. Once you're satisfied you'll want to protect your finish with a coat of matte polyurethane.

• Complete The Distressed Look: For the final step, you have a few choices. You can either pop the previous pulls and knobs back in place or install new ones that will more appropriately match the antique look you're attempting.

Of course, this is just one way to distress cabinets, and as long as you're satisfied with the results and get the look you're going for, you can try a few different variations.
