For this project we applied a "chiped paint" finish, and glaze, to a custom built kitchen island. The island is made of sturdy alder wood. Hand applied, 9 layers of stain, distressed paint and varnish make this finish unique to the alternative "factory" finishes. The olive color and aged finish, give a warm contrast to the white cabinetry in this newly remodeled kitchen. Please click image to enlarge.
