PAINTING RED, METALLIC SILVER & STAIN ~ A SPECIAL FINISH ON A KITCHEN ISLAND

    PAINTING RED, METALLIC SILVER & STAIN ~ A SPECIAL FINISH ON A KITCHEN ISLAND

 Debbie has such a beautiful home!  She  loves decorating and it shows. 
     It was time for a change, so she asked me to do a couple of things in her kitchen.  She wanted my "antique silver" finish on her vent-a-hood.  For her kitchen island we discussed a couple of colors and finishes. Her kitchen, breakfast room, stairwell and living room are all open and connected.  I looked around and knew an "interesting" bright shade of red would look really nice on her island.
I painted the red and swiped a metallic silver on the corbels and tiny trim.  
Then, stained and sealed it all.
I love this shade of red.  It's kind of a salmony orangy red,  A little different from Debbie's decor, but I thought it looked really, really good.  And, it's not really this bright in her kitchen...my camera flash made it look brighter than it is.  
I love the red and silver combination!
This part of the island faces the stove and vent-a-hood. The vent it has a fleur de lis on it.  
So, I embossed this fleur de lis on a couple of  the island door fronts and
 added the metallic silver.
This island is not distressed, just painted and stained.
Thank you, Debbie!

  1. The staining really makes the island look distressed. It came out beautiful.
