Leanne Ford Instagram – I’ve been watching what @semihandmade has been doing for years — I remember the first time I saw their line and I thought it was just the most brilliant idea/creative solution (and you know I love a creative solution.) And honestly, I’m very proud and honored to work with them. I have been trying for years to tackle the “perfect” white oak fronts. A finish that looks untreated, but IS sealed. I told them I would work with them, but only if we figure out how to make the perfect White Oak Cabinets. I took a little roadtrip to work with Alex, a talented craftsman in Ohio, to create our “recipe” for white oak cabinet fronts that didn’t read yellow or orange after being sealed. (Who else has had this problem?) White oak is most beautiful in its natural state and that’s what we tried (and succeeded!) to create. And then, of course, I had to create the perfect warm white cabinets — a bit of a blank slate that can translate to the homeowner’s own style. // #LeanneForSemihandmade with photography by @erinashkelly and interior styling by @hilaryrobertson
