Good luck!
I enjoy no idea how she did this, but I'll try to lend a hand.
In order to truly rust the cabinet, you'll have to remove the paint down to uncovered metal. It may then rust afterwards on its own, or...
I once rusted some punched-tin panels that I made by dipping them surrounded by muriatic acid. If you opt to do this, USE CARE! This stuff is VERY corrosive, and must be done outside as it will "eat" anything it comes in contact beside.
Barring that, I'd go to a paint store (one that sell paint exclusively) and the employees should know how to help you want on a faux-finish to achieve the look you want; moral luck!
Go to HGTV.com and look up episodes if you cannot find it that way type contained by their seach engine;
