Elevating Spaces with Cerused Cabinets and Wall Panels

Cerusing is a type of wood finishing that traces its origins to Elizabethan era skin-whitening cosmetics. Craftsmen were able to repurpose ceruse, a white lead-based pigment, to preserve wood and prevent rotting. Thankfully, modern ceruse no longer contains any trace of lead. Instead, it now uses white lime wax or diluted paint. Because of this, you may also hear this type of finishing called “limed finish.”

Cerused wood finishes were widely used in the early 1900s for Art Deco furniture and Mid-century modern interiors. In more recent times, this beautiful finishing technique is experiencing a revival, making its way back into American homes.

For a family of four living in Southampton, function and style are what matter most. During the initial phase of designing this Hampton custom kitchen, there was much emphasis on the inclusion of a center island to fill up the large space and provide a focal point. Apart from those, it also serves as a functional piece, adding more storage below and a sitting area that can fit five.
