Country French Kitchen Cupboards

Starting with plain stock cabinets.

Add two stair balisters to the corners of the island for the furniture leg effect.

Remove cabinet doors. Primer everything. First coat of paint is white touched with taupe to make a 'navaho white'. Second coat of paint is the taupe mixed with polycrylic to make a glaze. Paint it on, pull it back off again with a wallpaper brush. Last coat is a coat of clear polyurethane to harden and protect the paint job. Replace the cupboard doors.

Here's a picture of the effect I'm aiming for. I'll let you know if it works out.
