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!
