A couple of years ago, I painted a special finish on Susan's kitchen cabinets. Recently, she saw a friend's kitchen cabinets that I had also painted. I had embossed a design and painted her island to make it look like a piece of furniture, instead of a kitchen cabinet. Susan wanted me to do something special on her island, too. So, I darkened the raised panels on the drawers and doors. Then, I embossed a design with modeling paste and painted with a metallic paint. She's very happy, now! She said her island "looks like a piece of furniture, too"! (Metallic paints reflect, depending on how the light is touching the paint.)
