Base out the cabinets in a satin white lacquer, Mohawk makes a Vandyke Brown glaze, ad a little white to the glaze so the Vandyke isn't too strong. Wipe the glaze on with a soft staining rag, use an ox hair brush to even out the glaze, wait a second then clean glaze with a clean soft rag to finish the subtle look you desire. Do a sample 1st

Agree its a white painted cabinet with a glaze over the top
