Custom Cabinets: Create a New Mood with Painted Kitchen Cabinets
This summer, let’s take a trip together.
For just five minutes, let’s pretend that you’ve rented a beautiful French villa in Loire Valley or Aquitaine, the orchard region of France, where you’ll find gentle rolling hills and rich farmlands dotted with traditional stone farmhouses and punctuated by lovely French villas.
You’re going to enjoy provincial life to the fullest! Let’s walk together through the villa you’ve rented, noticing its quaint, country charm – the colorful, swirling décor, the huge stone fireplace and French windows leading into the garden and the courtyard. Do you see the dining room decorated with hand-painted, gold-striped wallpaper and the wooden table big enough for the whole family? Now picture yourself exploring the kitchen, or la cuisine, where a beloved country chef once cooked daily for her family. Can you smell the delicious aroma of the boeuf bourguignon she’d perfected, or the Apple Tarte Tatin and Cherry Clafoutis for dessert? What does the kitchen look like to you? Can you picture the walls, the floors, the custom cabinets?
If your imagination is anything like the reality, one of the first things you’ll have noticed in your imaginary kitchen villa are the painted kitchen cabinets, full of character and looking like they’ve shared in every culinary triumph, every experimental cooking faux pas, and every family gathering since the day they were installed.
If you dream of making your own kitchen a place of warmth and character, or simply want to tie in the “shabby -chic”, reclaimed wood coffee table that you love in your living room, painted kitchen cabinets are the first step to framing your kitchen for fantasy. In fact, you can easily create a distinctive kitchen all your own, from a French chateau to an Italian country cottage or rustic Bavarian cabin, simply with painted cabinets and the right accessories. And unlike that shabby coffee table, our cabinets look Old World but will withstand your world –hot ovens, steamy cooking, and with a durability you need for a busy lifestyle.
For classic décor, a traditional maple cabinet that looks like a maple cabinet might be more your speed; but you can create a mood and take tradition to the next level with a maple kitchen cabinet enhanced by The Paint series. These cabinets are recognized by a hint of physical distressing beneath a glossy dark enamel, have added details like Joint Cracks, Wood Splits, Worm Holes, Corner/Edge Wear and Sand Through and are finished with a luxurious hand rubbing for the authentic, “villa” look. Another option to change the personality of your kitchen are the maple cabinets in the Legend Washed Paint series, which include the same details and careful finishing but are also noted for subtle brush strokes that achieve a vintage or rustic “cottage” look.
