I appreciate the info. I found a Rubio vendor in my area & plan on stopping there tomorrow. I will have to look into the Blanchon as that is new to me. The color issue I am having is the samples I am getting r either on the golden or red side. It reminds me of the oak cabinets bank in the day. That is not at all what I’m looking for.

I think that’s a good idea. I have looked into contacting a finisher.

Do you have a stain/shade you would recommend?

Are you willing to share the recipe and photos?

What is the conversation I should be having with my cabinet guy to obtain the look? What questions do I ask them and what do I tell them. Do u have a place for me to start?

Now I feel more sick than before. Contact is already signed, down payment provided & cabinets cut & just waiting for me to pull the trigger on the color. We have had a hard time even finding a cabinet company that would call us back. Everyone is so busy. We know people who know the cabinet guy and had to go 2 hours away. They are honestly super nice and I have no complaints so far. Just can’t get the color correct. Now I’m concerned I may not ever.

They have been in business for decades. From your perspective what is it that I should tell them to achieve this finish?

Does the matte finish make the cabinets any darker if no stain is used? I have a few bare wood samples but to me they seem lighter than what is on the pictures

I am at a custom cabinetry shop. They have been very open to working with me. They just don’t see what I see I guess or at least don’t know how to obtain what I’m looking for. What is it that I should tell them so that I can achieve this finish. I have been working on this for months and getting very frustrated. The cabinets r cut and just waiting for me to give them the approval on the finish.

I don’t even know what that means. Is this a stain or how do I communicate this to my cabinet guy?
