Heart Of The Home - Faux Finishes For Kitchen Cabinetry (continued)

by Jay Dorman

Some of the faux effects that are popular in kitchens these days include one or a combination of the following:

  • Dry-brushing

  • Stippling

  • Strie

  • Stains and paints

  • Ragged glazes

  • Metallic finishes

  • Antique distressed finishes

    Pricing for the finishes depends upon the level of complexity and the material used to get that “just right” look. If your kitchen cabinetry is freshly painted, then a simple dry-brushed finish may be all you need, and is usually inexpensive. However, the more steps that are involved in a process, the more the price goes up. A knowledgeable faux finisher can work within your budget while giving you the best possible look to complete your dreams.

    I encourage you to contact an experienced professional faux finisher for a free consultation when you are ready to begin your kitchen project.

    Discuss your ideas with a faux finish expert -- look at colors, styles, techniques and samples. Then develop the perfect combination for your dream kitchen.

    Ask detailed questions, get references, ask to see photos, and if possible go to a kitchen the faux finisher has completed to check out his quality and level of competence.

    Make your heart of the home as perfect as you deserve.
