Guess what this is???

Stumped?? Well, we here at Garay Artisans are excited about it!? We just finished filming our latest (ok, second) DIY YouTube video and it features my brother, Jason, teaching this crocodile skin finish for cabinetry.??Yes…you get to learn this finish gratis! This particular look is usually meant for special “glamour” places such as guest baths and powder rooms.?In our cabinet workshops, we teach our two most asked-for finishes in the kitchen: aged cabinets and distressed cabinets.??We try to cover all bases for you, folks!

If you haven’t seen our previous YouTube videos, let me introduce you.? Our first DIY Video: Glazed & Gold Powder Bath (still can’t believe it’s been seen over 2,000 times — for me that’s a lot).??For those interested in knowing more about our company and services: Interview by WFTV-Channel 9?and our Garay Artisans promo.

In case you’d like to take our one-day Cabinet Workshops (where you learn everything from prepwork to HVLP spraying to topcoats), click here.??We have a new special where two-person teams receive a great discount.? We already have a few students signed on — the first class in our new facility is Saturday, May 17th.? Here is what one of our previous students, Cape Cod, MA-based Robin Pierson?of Robin’s Nest Interiors?had to say about her custom training class:

“It was so helpful – I can’t tell you how excited I am about getting started.? ?Jason was a great trainer and I felt very comfortable with him and the information he provided.??He was more than happy to answer all of my questions and by the time I left I felt like I had all the information I needed.”

Robin’s website has some great cabinet works?as well as a cool decorative window line called Reflections. She truly is a wonderful artisan.

Our cabinet video is currently being edited so it should be up in about…oh, 2 weeks.? (But don’t quote me!) We will keep you posted here!

    Thank you, Jo! We’re still editing it…hope to have it on the web soon. Hey, did you see your answer on your previous question? I’m thinking about it for next month’s Mailbag as well — it was a good color question! Talk to you soon!

    Thanks to you! Loved your suggestions. My response – a bit lengthy – is in the Mailbag.

    I love, love, love this crocodile cabinet. I have searched for it on Youtube… is it out there?

    Hi, all! First of all, I’m SO sorry for not commenting sooner. Since we tried to film it ourselves, the sound was not the best to begin with but it was good enough to pass. As we got to the end of the editing process, we lost sound completely (don’t know why). So, the video never went up. I am working on posting a step-by-step process here on the blog very soon — I just have to sit down and finish getting all of it written out with good links to purchase the materials. I will be sure to post and e-mail when it goes up.
