Painting…Distressing wrap up

Pete (Carmichael Decorating) and Paul working together have come a long way towards finishing up the cabinetry in the mudroom, laundry, and kitchen in the “L” Shaped House. The first photo below shows the kitchen desk area with the glazing complete and all of the knobs, bin pulls, and cabinet pulls installed. The “distressed” finish Pete has achieved exceeds our expectations and the adding the oil rubbed bronze pulls and knobs “tops” off the look perfectly!

The next photo is my best (of many) attempt to capture the water-based polyurethane finish coat Pete is applying to the first floor cabinetry. The polyurethane finish coat is meant to protect the glazing used to “distress” the cabinets. The cabinets now have five coats of paint applied…the primer (kills), two coats of oil-based enamel, glazing, and now the polyurethane.
