Our client had this gorgeous pantry style cabinet with a wire mesh door. Originally finished in a warm honey coloured stain it had a very strong "woody" look but also plenty of character and potential. It was on the cusp of being a french provincial styled cabinet and when we saw it we knew it was very well suited to being done in a paint finish to complete this and transform it into a beautiful open french style pantry. 

Hand painted in a french grey using brush work to create texture and depth then slightly aged to give it a newly authentic look. To eliminate the "blocky woody" look we separated and detailed the inners with a warm off white creating a beautiful pairing against the grey and creating a beautiful visual effect through the wire mesh door. Every edge, and corner was detailed, shadowed and highlighted using wax effects. A beautiful cabinet that was perfect for a "Taylored Revival" and one we are again very proud of being able to deliver on for our client.
