So....the kitchen cabinets are almost completely glazed and they look beautiful! I did notice, though, that the greatroom built-in cabinets and mantle had not been glazed...so I asked the painter about it today. Of course...there is a problem! He didn't know that they were also supposed to be glazed and now he has put his "finish coat" on the cabinets and mantle. He said he CAN glaze them, but now that there is a finish coat on them, he will have to use different glazing products and a different process. The problem with that...is ...it will not match the kitchen cabinets exactly.
So...I going to use my one "phone a friend" and ask that you blog followers please give me your opinion on what we should do. Do we let them antique glaze the greatroom cabinets and mantle and not match the kitchen which is wide open to the greatroom....or do we just keep them white, as they are, which will match the white doors, window sills, trim, etc....but won't have the " antiquie look" that we were going for. (also, the greatroom cabinets will have the same granite tops as the kitchen)..on the other hand, the laundry room cabinets will be kept white?!?! What to do.....let me know what you think, please.....I need your help!
Wow! That's a tough one! If you really wanted the antique look, I would have him glaze them any way he can & hopefully it would be exact or close enough to not be noticable (dont' know how close the built-ins are to the kitchen). They look great white (along with the trim/moulding, etc.), but if it's not what you wanted, then try to get it how you wanted it. Having the granite the same will make it look cohesive no matter which you choose (so I think!). By the way, everything looks SO good!!!
