Faux Wood Finish on Fridge

We had been working so hard on things last week we were not too good about getting things up onto the blog so we will be playing catchup for a little bit to let everyone know what we were working on. The base color was a lighter brown and the faux wood finish is done with a dark brown paint mixed 1:1 with a glaze. Here you can see that just one of the front panels is complete.

To complete the look for the rest of the fridge we had to tape off and complete each section individually.

You can see the faux graining of the wood up close. This was done by painting the glaze mixture on with a brush and then almost immediately removing it from the surface with a paper towel.

Not much left to glaze here. As you can see the whole unit has become quite a bit darker.

Once all of the graining was complete on the cabinet a coat of urethane was placed on top to give it some protection and cleaning ability.
