faux woodgraining

this is the job that i am working on right now. the client has several pieces of cabinetry throughout his home that are made of MDF (not real wood - almost like condensed particle-board, sprayed with white paint, incase you aren't familiar) that i am faux-painting to look like real wood. it's kind of cool, so i thought i'd share some pics:

before:

water damage & chipping around the cabinets... had to sand it all down (notice the knobs and hinges - painted those too!):

annnnnd, after!

detail of cabinetry area:

(the hinges that i painted are already on, still haven't placed the newly painted knobs back on yet)
