Painted Distressed Cabinets

This is a new look! Painting the frames a different color than the doors and draws. I love it! I've distressed the doors and drawers with a crackle finish and roughed up the profile edges to give it that refined worn feel. Both colors have been hand rubbed with a antique glaze and clear coated for protection. The work surfaces are stained and polyurethane. Perfect work station and great place to hide some stuff!

Just Finished..... another ceiling! I'm smiling about it too!

 Close up of ceiling.... Colors a little off. The above is true to color.

In the last year and a half I've done more ceilings than my whole 14 years of faux finishing! This is by far one of my favorites. There's a rich burnt brown (custom) as my base that makes the crackle technique work perfectly. There's a gold metallic mixed in there with another stain and seal of gold and ebony. Just what the happy customer wanted!

Next up is a set of cabinets that I'm just painting the trim pieces for the cabinet maker.... but I'll have to show them off; they are the most unique set of cabinets I've ever seen!

Ceiling Faux Finish

The homeowners have a "old world" style and had me finish this center section with a veined metallic faux finish.
