Dear fellow do-it-yourself people,
I just wanted to share my excitement with all of you about the wonderful experience that my husband and I had using products from the Country Living Artisan Collection.

We are NOT people who do it ourselves.  I have never considered us that motivated or creative so when we needed to have our kitchen cabinets overhauled the thought never entered our minds to do it ourselves.  Our cabinets were in very good shape so instead of replacing them we called a well known company who does cabinet re-facing to come and give us an estimate.  They gave us an estimate of $12,000 dollars!!  And that was after a discount of $1500.00!  Needless to say we lived several more years with the white washed cabinets. > Click here to read more

The Product

I purchased the Caromal Colours texture basecoat and toner to rehabilitate my kitchen cabinets. Both products are earth friendly/Green and easy to use. We have a 10 month baby girl and we were concerned about nasty chemicals and their smell. The products literally had no scent during the application. The texture basecoat was thick which allowed for easy application and no splashes. Just soap and water was used for an easy clean up of both products. > Click here to read more

I am very pleased with the way the finish turned out on my cabinets.  It changed the entire look of my home.  I have heard nothing but great comments from my friends, and many are wanting to do the same in their own homes.  There is a lot of flexibility in the product.  I found I could vary the shades immensely by how much of the toner I left on or took off.   For those that want their cabinets to look like something built by hand and maintained over generations with “Old World Craftmanship” this is the way to go.

I am not the creative kind of person, so I took the distressing workshop just for fun. I was so impressed with the product that I decided to refinish my tired old bathroom cabinets.  I  had planned on just doing the cabinets but was loving the transformation so much I ended up also doing the door, the wall plates, etc.

The product was so easy to apply on each of the different types of surfaces.  However, my husband was a little concerned as to what to expect with the outcome because I was a wild woman with my little palm sander during the distressing process.  My family and I are so pleased with the end result.

I love the product, the ease of use and the results.

I have a list of items that I want to transform around the house and I can't wait go get started.

Note:  They should have a warning on the label - 'USE WITH CAUTION – REFINISHING ADDICTION MAY OCCUR!''

When my friend, Vicki Shoemaker, told me about a new product, and how it could change the appearance of just about anything I had in my house, cabinets, furniture, etc. my first thought was, "I am so NOT interested in doing this." Number one, I have no experience in this area of decorating. "Buy it done" is my motto. I don't like the fuss. But I said I'd take the class to prove it really isn't as easy as she claimed. Wrong!! It is so easy, I decided to see how my end tables would look. Three hours later, from start to finish, carried in and put back, I couldn't believe it. So I went on to my coffee table, then to top it off, a wooden "picture" screen that I re-did, then printed new pictures in black and white. I absolutely loved how they turned out. My living room looks like new, and I love the fact that I did it.This is the hottest thing going. The cost is nothing compared to the end result. I can't say enough. And the teacher is pretty cool as well!
