(FINI) PAINTING A "FRENCH COUNTRY" FINISH ON NEW ORLEANS STYLE KITCHEN CABINETS

MAY 19, 2013  
  Here is a photo of the finished cabinets.  Now, I've moved on to the office and painting the cabinets a light gray with blue trim and a darker glaze.  My client loves blue and blue grays.

    This is a "before" photo of the kitchen I've been painting in the house under construction.  The other painters did all of the priming and that's why it's white.


The coolest thing about this kitchen is how tall the cabinets are and the brick wall behind them.  In the big open living space, it looks really dramatic and fine!!


This is the multi-layered finish I painted and, finally, finished today.  The decorator chose this finish and called it "french country".
 I have a little more work to do on the shelves for the open cabinets and will do that tomorrow.  
Also, I have an office desk cabinet that I will start on, tomorrow.  Then, I have a cabinet in the master bath and will be sharing all with you.  
Oh, and I'll be painting the feet of a beautiful clawfoot bathtub.
I love the style of this house.  It is New Orleans style and has some really neat features.
And, I love that I'm working close to home on this job!!!

    Yes, a very nice house and very interesting floor plan. There's a fireplace right by the kitchen and that's the living room. The dining room is on the other side of the living room. All one big room.
