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!

Sneak Peek!

Here's a sneak peek at some cabinetry I've been working on. This is the island which is done in a crackle worn finish. The rest of the kitchen is two different finishes done in a black raisin and dark ash finish. Furniture feet and special details were added by the same cabinet maker that built these 14 years ago! This kitchen looks great with the granite and extra details. I'll post more (and better) photos once the kitchen is completely done!
 These glass paneled doors are not installed yet because they are still deciding on the type of glass to use. I like the old fashion bubbled glass which she has a sample behind the door on the left along with white square plates that will be displayed behind the doors.
These are finished in black raisin with a glaze on top and added details that you can not see in these pictures. I love the granite they selected; did I mention that the island granite is a black with the rest being what you see above on this office center in the kitchen.
