Last week, we had the opportunity to work for a brand new client in Stilwell, KS. She had a fireplace and open bookshelves in her living room that she had a carpenter put doors on. I love the idea of giving herself more storage. The new doors were a pressed wood. Her fireplace mantle was MDF.
She asked us to faux the new doors and frame to make it look like faux wood.
Erin primed the fireplace built-ins, painted it an orangish-brown under-tone and stained over it.
These built-ins look just like stained cabinetry to me!
If you want to copy this same stain on your own fireplace built-ins or cabinets, you can learn with my Cabinet Restaining training video.

Nice before and after shots. The stained wood look sure makes a huge positive difference in that room!

looks great
Mmmm…orange-ish brown. That sounds pretty technical!
I have my ‘frankenshelves’ made from RTA furniture. STILL UNPAINTED.
I should try this orange-ish brown of which you speak!
I hope to let this be one of my 2012 project completions!
