When the Harrisons moved into their stately Blackhawk home, they were drawn in by its strong bones, classic moldings, and grand kitchen. But after the excitement settled, one detail stuck out like a sore thumb: the cabinets. Solid? Absolutely. Stylish? Not quite.
The finish was faded, yellowed by time and mismatched with the newer updates throughout the rest of the home. But instead of tearing everything out, they chose a path that was both respectful and transformative—cabinet finishing in Blackhawk, done right.

The Case for Finishing, Not Replacing
Bob Vila would say, “Honor the craftsmanship before you replace it.” And that’s what the Harrisons did. Their cabinet boxes were strong oak, perfectly intact. All they needed was a new face, not a full gut job.
So they turned to SEGUE Cabinets, known for high-quality finishes and design flexibility. The goal? Blend modern elegance with the traditional structure of the kitchen.
Choosing the Finish
After visiting a few local showrooms, they landed on SEGUE’s soft satin finish—a perfect match for their transitional aesthetic. It offered warmth, depth, and a smooth feel under the fingertips.
To bring in visual interest, they finished the island in a contrasting muted navy, creating a refined focal point without overpowering the room. The wall cabinets? A warm white with subtle grey undertones that complemented the natural light streaming in.
The Transformation
Once finished, the kitchen didn’t just look refreshed—it felt intentional. Every line was sharper, every surface more refined. The SEGUE Cabinets finish gave the space a layered look—timeless but current, soft yet resilient.
And best of all? The bones of the original kitchen remained intact, honored, and elevated.
