Before and After

OK... so here's the deal. I know I took a "before" picture. It's just a white version of the above. I can NOT find it in my camera downloads or in the "gallery" of this fancy NEW phone! So... I am just posting the "AFTER" pictures until I can find the "before". I'll probably get a chance to snap a pic after it's installed with the light fixture!! Did I mention this is the biggest medallion I've ever seen! It's as wide as the back of my van; so 4 - 4 1/2 feet! It goes in a very large room with high ceilings and it'll look just right for the space!

KITCHEN REVEAL!!

I'm really excited about this kitchen makeover! These started out as typical golden stained oak cabinets. The homeowner had the cabinet maker do some magic. He added feet (for a furniture look)  in selected areas and visually raised some top cabinets using crown molding which added major detail to the original cabinets. Then I did "my thing" ~ Three different finishes. A black raisin with glaze is the darkest. Dark ash distressed and glazed finish met up with the dark. The island has a crackle finish with glaze and topped off with a metallic foil on the door profile. Sorry I don't have any before pictures. I actually didn't see this kitchen layout before I started the project. The homeowners (thinking they were going to tackle this project) had removed all the cabinets! They gave me a call ... were they in over their heads!!? The granite is also new. They are waiting on a diamond shaped tile back splash; then it will be complete!

KITCHEN CABINETS ~ Painted and glazed

These are pictures of kitchen cabinets that I'm currently working on. The kitchen is large and when complete will have three different painted finishes. A dark black/brown, a ash/brown and a crackle finish on the island all topped with beautiful selected granite. I can't wait to see this kitchen finished!

In the cabinets past life they were a light stain oak in really good condition, for the update I am painting, glazing and clear coating for a final protective finish.

Table and Chairs Redo

These are ready for delivery. The customer is anxiously awaiting their return! This was a black set before I got ahold of it!
