Hi, I’m Kathy And I’m A Copycat

I have no shame in telling you that I most definitely and deliberately copied Debbie at Debbiedoos’ project where she attached a wood embellishment to her drawer front under her kitchen sink.  There.  I said it and I’m fine with it.

I have seen this addition to kitchen cabinet fronts at a few other blogs and always loved the look, filing it away in the back of my mind, because I’ve had this wood embellishment for a few years now.  Just waiting for the perfect project. 

Well, what could be more perfect than this!  This is what the front looked like before.

I pulled out the sample pot that I still have of my ASCP Paris Grey. I thought the grey might work well for my kitchen because the cabinets are a creamy white and the countertop is grey.  Plus I have stainless steel appliances, so grey it was.

Here it is after two coats of the grey.  I could just leave it like this.  But, I didn’t. 

I did add some antique white craft paint to some areas by dry brushing it on.   The white is very subtle.

Then I added some clear wax and some dark wax to show off some of the detailing better.

This is a really quick project to update your kitchen!  I decided I didn’t want to make anything permanent at the moment, so I attached it to the drawer front with some museum putty/wax. 

Let’s go into my dungeon of a kitchen and try and see it through the darkness.  Bring your night vision goggles if you’ve got ‘em.  I just love it! 

I was going to crop this next picture, but this is real life and I was cooking dinner and working on a little project at the same time.

Such a quick, easy and inexpensive way to dress up a cabinet front!

Thanks, Debbie!  Seeing your post gave me the kick in the pants to just do it already.  Plus, I think it’s fitting I copied you since you host the Copycat Linky Party!
