custom kitchen cabinets with lacquer finish
Seeing my custom kitchen cabinets finished was one of the most exciting developments in this whole process of building a custom home. It’s sort of the first detail to get finished. And it exceeded my expectations completely. We agonized over the decision to do a natural finish, but it looks so incredibly impressive on these kitchen cabinets. But why am I rambling on, lets get to the pictures.
Welcome to my kitchen. The first picture is the overall look, then I’ll take you around the various cabinets.
The finish on the kitchen cabinets adds so much depth and richness to the wood, it’s remarkable. I’m so glad we chose not to stain the cabinets. The pictures make it look a bit more glossy than it is in real life, just due to the flash glare. This is a semi-gloss lacquer.
The utility room cabinets and vanities aren’t painted yet, but the painters are priming them now with a spray-applied alkyd primer. They’ll get a semi-gloss white to match the trim.

Breathing the air in LA is bad for you too. I guess that cigarettes and LA have something in common. They both suck
