Yes, I certainly have!
Those two combos would be great! Just be careful with the glaze - you have a little time to work with it, but not long.
You can't add more over any one small spot and if you try to fix a mistake after too much time has gone by it will take the glaze off and no more will adhere. That will leave you a light spot. If you add more, it only makes it darker and you can't fix it no matter how many times you pounce it. Practice on a board. You'll get the feel of it really quickly.
I would use any type of cloth that doesn't have the fuzz. T-shirts are good. Just cut the neck and seams off or it will leave that print on the wet glaze. lol I would also have a sea sponge and a stipple brush for pouncing.
IMO, it smooths out the glaze for a more professional look.
You can use all three and get it to how you like it. Do a small section at a time, but keep working. Brush it on, pounce with rag, pounce with sea sponge and then pounce with stipple brush. I finish it off by very lightly hitting the surface or at least the areas I want to smooth out. Hardly any pressure at all.
I went back to check your cabinets They have a pretty good indention to make it look special. It also looks like you can do a light sand with a fine grit paper. I would use B-I-N Primer by Zinsser. That sticks much better than Kilz. B-I-N says you don't have to use a liquid deglosser, but I usually do it anyway. You're cabinets don't have a high sheen, so I think the sanding will do it. I'm not sure you would really need a deglosser.
I hope I made some sense here. I can see it in my head, but not sure I'm conveying it right. That is going to look great!!!
Make sure you have plenty of ventilation for you and Maggie!! You might want to wait until the fall to do it, so you can open the windows. You'd have it done before Thanksgiving.
