Painting…Day 57

Pete from Carmichael Decorating spent the afternoon working on the cabinetry in the “L” Shaped House. He has all of the cabinets along the end wall glazed and was masking the area behind the sink when I arrived around 3 pm yesterday. The photos below show the double oven and tall upper cabinets shortly after he finished wiping the glazing away. Pete has absolutely perfected his glazing technique as he has moved from the mudroom, to the first floor laundry, and now the kitchen. The “distressing” (or faux aging) effect he is achieving here is exactly what Deb and I envisioned…Nice work Pete!

 

The photos here also show just how hard it is to get a photo that captures the tone and texture of the “distressed” finish adequately. The shot on the left captures the overall effect nicely…but the shot on the right shows off the brown tone in the glazing a little better. Finally…the photos also show just how nicely Katie Hunsley’s decorating choices work together. From the Natural Wicker wall color all the way to the warm cork flooring these materials and colors are really working great together…Nice work Katie!
