Now that the enameling of cabinetry in the kitchen, first floor laundry, and mudroom is complete and all of the masking has been removed we have to choose how to to “distress” the finish. Steve Carmichael has prepared two cabinet doors as samples and is working on a third as we start exploring this important choice. The photos below represent my best effort (so far) at getting an accurate image of the samples in the space. I placed the sample doors on the Cambria countertop along the back wall of the kitchen under the window (better lighting). The doors are leaning against the white enamel window trim and sitting in front of the natural wicker wall paint. Three of the subway tiles that will be used in the backsplash have been placed behind the sample doors. With all of the elements in place it’s time to take a stand!
The samples were prepared by applying a brown glaze to the white enamel and then wiping most of it away. The only difference between the two samples is that more of the brown glaze has been removed from the one on the right. After seeing the samples and discussing the distressing process in detail with Steve Carmichael we have decided to have a third sample prepared using a lighter colored glaze (possibly bronze). Feel free to weigh in on this important decision using the comments “button” below!
