The top part of the cabinet the stain is not even, looks like it soaked in, in spots, and some areas are rough and smooth?? So, was trying to see what would work for it without stripping it. Thank you

Sorry, Anamaria, I forgot what you were working with!
I'm not sure what I would do to a blond cabinet, especially one that had been restained. Sand again and apply a darker stain? Maybe use a 'gel' stain? This might cover the abuse, and you could probably paint over it if you didn't like the result. Just a thought.

Painting would probably not hurt this cabinet, though, if that is a look that you like.
