That's how I feel about my cabinets. Eric chose a very unique color, Cayenne Pepper. He picked up a sample at Ganahl Lumber, he got Zar Ultra Max Wood Stain. My first thought, it's too red, and I'm scared we picked the wrong color. But after we painted a sample piece of venier wood and on the back of the doors. The color looked beautiful, but I was still uncertain of the color because it didn't look like a wood stain. It really looked like paint on our beautiful maple cabinet doors.
The paint takes 2 hours to dry, and I painted the 1st coat on Monday and a 2nd touch-up coat on Tuesday. The cabinet doors looked better...but I still wasn't impressed. Until last night, when I put the semi-gloss paint on the doors. I fell in love with the color choice times 1000!! The semi-gloss made a big impression, and it looks absolutely beautiful. I can't wait till we put these babies up, and finalize our hardware selections on door handles & knobs. I want satin nickel for the hardware. Let me know what you think of the color!
Before pic: 2 coats of wood stain
After: 1 coat of semi-gloss...we still need to add one more coat! It's beautiful!
Now....the race begins to finish this project by Friday night. We're hosting a party on Sat night!!!!!!!!! LOL, we're crazy yes, I know. I feel like we're on Extreme Makeover...without Ty screaming at me!
