"Holy cow this was a lot of doors!!! Over 60 pieces, 2 sprayers, and 4 onsite painters later it’s complete. This kitchen is in General Finishes Alabaster and Driftwood, such a pretty combo. Keeping the countertops was highly debatable but it’s so hard to replace nice granite and I think the cabinets really helped with making the countertops work and even the floors. The hubs did the board & batten and the homeowners did my favorite MCM matte black hardware. *Stay tuned for an update...

Many paint colors went into this starting with a base of General Finishes Lamp Black. A very cool product called “rust in a jar” by Autentico Paint USA was used to create textured old rust looking areas...
