Finished Job

Dut, dut, duh...another one bites the dust, dut, dut, dut...another one bites the dust...and another one down...and another one down...and you know the rest of the story. This is that really cool textured finish that the Faux Pro was working on recently.

The Nerve!!!

Saw a faux finish social network yesterday and they "Membership by invitation only" on the home page. It's one thing to provide a service where you charge people because the advice is valuable. It's a totally different thing to setup these little clicks where hoity-toity decorative painters make each other feel important by comparing each other's. In the world of male egos one would say "Mine's bigger than yours". Not quite sure what you call it in this world other than arrogance.

The Truth About Cabinet Refinishing

We get lots of calls for refinishing cabinets. Most people seem to have an idea that the process is very simple. Others understand that it takes time, much of which is dry-time and getting to the site, but are not quite clear on the amount of work it takes to make them look magazine-worthy. One thing that I think is pretty common is the misconception that many cabinets cannot be refinished. When doing a kitchen renovation a lot of folks get quotes for various ways to replace their cabinets. New cabinet and refacing companies will often tell people about the perils of getting their old cabinets painted, glazed, or fauxed. The truth of the matter is that a faux finish can be done on just about any surface. The key is knowing the right products and techniques to use. At our company we have worked with melamine, MDF, laminates, and, of course, various types of wood. There are rare instances where we've had to tell our prospects that they need to get new doors or look for another option. Most of the time it's because there's a product on the cabinets that is bubbling, and will probably make it very difficult or impossible for us to sand out well. If you are a faux finisher or offer cabinet refinishing and your prospect is skiddish about getting their cabinets redone then just look online for examples of how their types of cabinets were transformed into something amazing.
