Oak Kitchen Cabinets in Annie Sloan Chateau Grey and Reclaim Licorice Part 2 and Reveal
Moving along with the oak kitchen cabinet makeover (you can see part one here). When I did my first consult with my client she wasn’t really sure exactly what she wanted so we walked around her house and I had her show me any and everything in her house that she loved. This beautiful piece instantly became our inspiration.
Her whole home has a beautiful Tuscan feel and I knew just the color to compliment it…….Annie Sloan in Chateau Grey. It’s a beautiful shade of green that has a hint of gray-brown to it. The perfect compliment to the black I had already decided on for the island.
This is the pickled oak door before.
I painted two coats of Chateau Grey on the front and back of each door.
I then distressed the edges slightly.
I did the same with the skeletons. During this process we decided that we’d do the bottom cabinets in the Licorice black that was on the island. I’m so glad we did because it turned out fabulous!
After all the paint had dried I clear waxed and dark waxed all the top cabinets.
After that all that was left to do was reinstall the doors and hardware. I’m really pleased with the look I was able to achieve. It compliments my clients home and style so very well.

Wow! You are such the kitchen cabinet painting pro! I love the two tone look you went for here. It sounds like you are really great at guiding people on the look of the kitchen they will like!

Great Job ! nice choice of colors, cabinets look wonderful, actually the whole space look beautiful. I really want to thank you for laying out a step by step processes to the finished product. So many times we come across a pic of something that we like or inspires us & we just get left hanging in regards to what colors & techniques where used, & then waste time messing around w/ this & that till we get it. My idea is ARTIST help ARTIST. I’m fairly new to the social networking part of the business (because I’m older than dirt ) but I always try explain what I’m doing. Thanks again Bobby
You’re welcome Bobby. 🙂 I believe in paying it forward.
Blessings,
Beth
Which paint do you prefer to use as the painter…chalk paint or reclaim? I’ve read rave reviews about Reclaim, but I don’t personally know anyone who has used it.
Hi Renee,
I like them both. The paint I use always depends on the outcome I want and the piece I’m painting.
🙂 Beth
