know any source for distressed/rustic cabinets?

9 years ago

Does anyone know of any manuf. that offer a rustic/distressed style finish for cabinets? They'd be for a dry bar to be built in a loft/bonus rm above our garage/barn.

I saw these in H.D. recently, and wondering if there's other options to consider for the same aged/worn look.

    Do you want real wood? If you'd consider a laminate or veneer, Stilje are very high quality. My new kitchen is a combination of custom painted wood and Stilje's Hacienda White, which is a pale whitewash, and they have lots of distressed barn board type finishes. http://stijle.com/range/mesa-select/ 

    The doors go on next week so I can post photos then.

    That looks like the newest finish that Fieldstone cabinets just introduced. Theirs is called Homestead Fog

    Think long and hard before doing this. You may tire of it quickly, and it will limit resale value. On something as expensive and permanently affixed as kitchens and baths, it's always wise to stick to the timeless classics.

    The Cabinet Joint.com does, too.

    Or, just make it yourself. Unfinished cabinets are about 30% less expensive.

    Varathane 'Sunbleached' stain or Minwax gray (not 'Weathered oak.' Too translucent.) some Minwax 'Provincal' or 'Early American' and a bit of something dark, like Minwax' 'Jacobean." and you're done! Since these are so very gray, I think I'd do the gray last. That's what I did with mine!

    Nice cabinets, BTW!

    Dura Supreme brand .weathered texture I just found it and I'm loving it for an island.

    These are from Dura - I fell in love with the look but when I went to see them in person realized it would not be a good choice for me. They are textured (think lightly sandblasted) and in a kitchen, would be difficult to clean. They're not rough and wouldn't snag things but the texture is there for splashes to hid in. I ended up doing something similar but without the texture through Fieldstone and IMO they are much better quality.

    Thanks for in person up date I had only seen pictures.

    I'm with Anglo, and I absolutely love the rustic farmhouse look, but I'd think carefully about this look for all your cabinets. It will definitely date the kitchen. I love the ones DML posted, maybe just do one stand alone piece like a hutch or a desk in that, that's away from the main work/cooking space of the kitchen. Looks like it would soak up a stain or oil pretty easily.

    I second Shiloh Cabinets! They don't charge to do 'character techniques'. They offer three techniques that are no charge and you can mix and match or do all three!

    FREE Techniques by Shiloh Cabinetry:

    1. Distressed
    2. Wearing
    3. Rub Through

    I recommend you add a FREE glaze with them too...it will highlight the distressing better.

    They also have OLDE WORLD SERIES and a new WEATHERED SERIES. But those two have upcharges on them...while character techniques do not...they are free.

    Here is a kitchen I did about six years ago that has free character techniques applied.

    And another recent one: This one below....has distressing only...no rub thru or wearing. It is a very subtle effect with dents and marks. Hard to see in photos.
