Big whoops at a recent project 👀
When these cabinets were installed, we immediately realized the color wasn’t matching the trim the way it was supposed to. So… they had to come right back out and be rematched.
One thing people don’t always realize: when you’re matching cabinetry to trim or wall colors, you typically aren’t using the exact same paint product. Cabinetry requires a lacquer finish, which has to be custom color-matched to standard wall or trim paint — and sometimes that match can shift more than expected once installed in the space and natural light.
It’s a mistake that’s completely avoidable with enough sampling and testing, but every now and then things can still slip through the cracks. The good news? We caught it immediately and fixed it before moving forward.
Part of creating a truly custom home is obsessing over the details — even when it means redoing something entirely to get it right.
