Cabinet color options in our showroom
optional cabinet painting accents
All accents are optional. You can choose none, just one, or multiple accents. Click pictures to the right for a detailed look at the listed accents.
LINE GLAZE - A process in which a contrasting glaze is hand-applied to the wood, then wiped off. The glaze will adhere to the natural grooves and waves of the wood surface. Any space between the moldings will show this contrast and enhance the complementary color.
HAZE GLAZE - A hand-applied process that uses a variety of techniques to artificially age the cabinet to give a period look. This is often referred to as "distressing" or "cabinet antiquing." There are many different types of distressing. We will be happy to show you options and allow you to choose the elements that best match your taste.
HAZE GLAZE WITH LINE GLAZE - Combining both accents for a truly unique look.
