If you don't have to go through this process, don't! It's very finicky. This is Brazilian cherry wood. We applied an iron acetate solution, ebony stain, X-Color sealer, and X-Power finish.

Hi Trinity, What a lovely project! We have achieved this look by using a 2 part treatment, it's called Lye & Soap. A company called Auro supplied ours (they are one of the main suppliers, and give really concise information and support on how to apply). The look we wanted was like the very 'Scandi' Dinesen boards, and this is how they treat their boards. To start with, you will need lye, which bleaches and removes yellow from the wood; then the white soap which cleans, re-whitens and seals the boards. The process is done with a brush or a foam roller and is really easy! The end result is very clean, matte and fresh looking (you tend to find with oils and paints that the end result can look a bit tacky/thick and heavy) But the Lye & Soap is very thin, and just really absorbs into the wood, whereas oil can tend to sit on top. I hope this helps! Good luck! it would be great to see a completed photograph! Holly @ MillChris Developments Ltd

It's LED strip lighting. It comes on a sticky tape , can curve and needs additional fixing at the end of the strip to supply power to the tape. Just a couple of notes- some but not all can be put on a dimmer switch, there are difference colours available but in my opinion warm white is kinder to our homes, sometimes the cheaper ones don't look like one long light but instead look like lots of small individual lights and personally I don't like that so much.

Thanks to all who offered advice. The samples arrived and the space invader fabric was our favourite. None of the cube patterns were quite right. Do you think i could skip lining fabric since it is already so thick? I think it might be too bulky for a blind with lining too. The other thing I wanted is some general styling advice. I don't know whether I'm going to be able to pull off the look I was originally going for and i keep getting sidetracked by other things I also like. My original idea was a contemporary classic kitchen with a bit of an edge. So we have light grey shaker doors on bottom, then handleless white slab on top. Flooring probably wood effect herringbone vinyl. Walls will be off white and backsplash behind job will be very pale neutral zellige tiles. Handles will be more industrial style, I like quite a few from dowsing & Reynolds, probably in bronze so quite dark. Then there will be a built in bench with dark blue cushion on the seat and across the back. Table I would like something mid or dark wood and contemporary but I've also liked mid century style ones I've seen. And chairs are undecided but maybe black. Worktops are marble effect Quartz (white with grey veining) and an upstand and sink is undermount stainless steel. I have already bought pendants for above the dining table, they are patterned glass with a black ceiling cord. I can't tell whether I'm going to be able to make this work or just end up with an odd collection of styles which don't quite work and feel disappointed with it.
