Cabinet & Furniture Glazing

Classic, distinctive, unique or 'off the charts' Gaa Gaa, the level of timeless style and character is
up to you.

Referred to as a 'fad' many, many years ago, Cabinet Glazing has graduated to a 'high end finish'.  Techniques used for Cabinet Glazing have been used to 'Antique' furniture for decades.  The popularity and uses of these techniques continue to grow and expand.

In addition to painting and glazing your cabinets, Lou Ann can change your pulls, upgrade your hinges
from exposed to hidden, add accent molding and add or replace the crown molding on top of your cabinets.  She has also installed custom base molding, columns and corbels for clients, to create more of a 'furniture' look in their kitchens and bathrooms.  (An appointment with Lou Ann before replacing your counter tops could increase your options for corbels, columns and other additions),

Ornate Panel Molding Glazing, Design & Installation

Add major bling to a ceiling, walls, doors or above a doorway with a combination of panel molding, ornate molding and appliques'. Looks great painted and glazed or monochromatic.  

Lou Ann can recreate a design from a photo you have or start with a blank sheet of paper and create a custom design, provide CAD drawings, paint, glaze and install it for you.
Before you decide on wainscot molding take a look at so many more options available.

Fireplace Surround Dilemmas
Painting and glazing your surround can change the mood of the entire room.  If your surround looks more like an after-thought than a fireplace, a little re-designing & remodeling can be included in your paint and glaze solution.
