The cabinets are glazed~! For complete DIY instructions, try Ask The Decorator– (includes an excellent video and checklist.)

Marc Bridges is a dear friend and I can’t thank him enough for his help. After a full day cutting hair at one of the swankiest hair studios in Houston (M Salon, on Richmond), he drove to the middle of nowhere to teach the mister cabinet glazing techniques. He also showed great forebearance with the hefty helping of silliness that accompanies any Brz family project.

 Before mixing, the glaze looks like thick elmer’s glue. Marc had this left over from a previous project so we’re not sure the exact paint to glaze ratio.

Getting started takes intense concentration– at least from Marc.
