Woodcraft Finishing Examples:
As Seen on Home and Garden TV (HGTV)
Our Maple, raised-panel cabinets were used on the HGTV show "Spice Up My Kitchen" Episode 210. They were finished with a blue-gray paint color and custom door panels were used to attach to the front of the appliances. The panels on the refrigerator were custom built by the carpenters on the show so that they would fit around the water and ice dispensers. It really isn't that hard to do yourself, but if you want something spectacular, see below for an example of faux finishing.
Professional Faux Finishing
If you want a completely custom look to your furniture, but are not up to the task of finishing them yourself, consider having an experienced finisher finish them for you according to your tastes. You can find someone near you by checking the phone book or Google for "furniture refinishers" and your city name.
Below are some examples of faux finishes applied to wood furniture and cabinets.
