DESIGN TREND 2019: OAK KITCHEN CABINETS -

Hello Ladies!! Spring is just around the corner and I know some of you are in the process of home building this summer or just want to stay updated on interior designer trends so I wrote this post to share with you my love for the oak kitchen cabinets.

Do you have a Pinterest KITCHEN board? Chances are that the first inspiration board you started to pin about for your project, is the Kitchen. If you haven’t started yet I have plenty of idea on mine if you need it. So let’s talk about the kitchen oak cabinet. Don’t worry, I’m not talking here about your 90’s styled cabinet, even tho it’s still Oak, the process makes it look totally different, also the use of white Oak wood.

Without getting too much in the technical details, it’s called Rift sawn and basically, it is how the lumber is cut from the logs. This process eliminate the typical cathedral pattern and gives a softer linear grain that looks more modern.

CERUSING WOOD

To really jump into this oak everything trend, let’s get more specific and add a Cerusing finish. Using white or light paint will add contrast and highlight the wood grain. If you have ever stepped foot in a Restoration hardware store you will know exactly what do I refer to. The photo below is my actual kitchen table and you can see that the white wax set in only in the grooves of the wood and doesn’t alter the color of it like a stain would do.

Here are some kitchen inspirations for your next project. You will find more on my Pinterest as you can imagine it would be impossible for me to display them all here.
