Cerused Kitchen Cabinets

7 years ago

I really like the look of Cerused Oak. We are building and are going for a modern/contemporary look. I can't find a manufacturer. Are these strictly custom cabinets? Perhaps a Pro could weigh in.

    I am not a pro ... but Greenfield Cabinets has cerused quartersawn white oak in their line. If you use a local pro, ask them how they achieve that finish. They should mention steps like wirebrushing the wood, wiping stain into the wood and rubbing it off. You can't just spray this on and go to a clear coat. I checked out if I could get this look from a local design place and it was a 30% upcharge for their line (which did not look as nice as the Greenfield photos).


    It is beautiful, though, just be wary of anyone who brushes it off like its any old finish. They won't achieve the results you want.

    Custom would be best.

    Not a pro. Starting a remodel in June we are using Omega quartersawn cerused oak. They are spendy, but our kitchen is pretty small. Your photo is similar to my inspiration photos, it took me forever to find a reputable cabinet company that had samples that I could see in person.

    Bellmont has some laminate cabinets that look similar, you might want to check them out. Like I said, I did a LOT of looking around :)

    gayleen1 what finish are you going with?
  • 7 years ago
    and what style are you? contemporary?
  • 7 years ago

    Yes contemporary. It is going to look a lot like your photo (hopefully!), almost all shaker style drawers below and very few uppers. We are doing some open shelves above.

    @gayleen1 I'm back. We just went to an Omega dealer to give them our kitchen design and price out cabinets. Are you cabinets done in the Ceruse Natural Finish? Thanks!

    Hi @CEM TOSA ! I just looked at my order and yes the finish is ceruse natural. What door style are you looking at? There are so many great options. I used Marion for the doors and large drawers and slab for the smaller drawers.

  • 6 years ago

    @gayleen1 I wanted a slab door but found out that is one of the more expensive doors! Who would of thought? We are on a very tight budget but think this is where we want to splurge. Kitchens are hard working rooms and I do a lot of cooking. I need to revisit door styles. We are having a rather large island and now I'm thinking of doing a MDF island painted a Ben Moore blue Not sure which. Could save some $$ with just doing perimeter cabinets in the oak. This is a new build and we are still tweaking the kitchen. I will keep you posted.

    @CEM TOSA a painted MDF island would save you quite a bit of money on cabinets. If you have room for a small pantry you might not need many upper cabinets either. Can't wait to see your results (in a year or two lol).

    No need for a custom color if you’re using Omega! Blue Lagoon will work great!

    @gayleen1 Right now we are planning two pantry cabinets' an appliance garage with upper and one other upper. I'm short!

    @gayleen1 I am looking to do a kitchen remodel and considering a few options by Omega. Can you please send close ups of your cabinets. My options are: ceruse natural, or quartersawn sawn in desert with a porcelain glaze.

  • 5 years ago

    Hi Melissa, my kitchen picks are in this thread. Ceruse natural looks great.

    @gayleen1
    Hello! We are nervous about going with ceruse natural in omega because we haven’t saw a kitchen in that color in omega. Luckily your the only picture I found that has that color. If you don’t mind can you post on here a close up of the cabinet door or cabinets so I can see how the grain looks? I would really appreciate it 😁!
