Do you love the look of glazed cabinets?
Cabinet glazing – also known as “antiquing” or “tea-staining” – means applying a darker, translucent finish, or “glaze” onto your cabinets to highlight the detailing, or to give a more traditional look. Â Glazed cabinets enhance the interiors and kitchens in more traditional homes, from “Mediterranean” to “country French” to “modern farmhouse”. Â The glazed finish itself can be highly customized, and can range from barely-there “subtle” to more heavily brushed “rustic”.
We start by giving your cabinets a smooth, new finish in the appropriate base color, which we will help select based on the look you want. Â Then we apply the glaze by hand, allowing more of the darker glaze color to settle in the grooves and corners of your cabinets to emphasize any details. Â On the larger, smooth areas of the cabinets, the glaze is wiped down until the right look is achieved. Â Here is where the magic happens! Â The glaze can be wiped out almost entirely, leaving just a hint of color, or can be brushed and left in a heavier layer for a more hand-done look. Â There’s a tremendous range of customization for glazed cabinets. Â The choice is yours!
