The Kenna Gunmetal Blue Black Glaze is Kitchen Craft's deep blue-gray finish on the Kenna Shaker door, sealed with a hand-applied black glaze. The Kenna sits in Kitchen Craft's transitional Shaker family, with a slim frame and a clean panel that holds the multi-step finish well across long cabinet runs.
How the Kenna Door Carries the Finish
The Kenna runs a Shaker silhouette with slightly different proportions than the Keelie, which gives the same gunmetal-blue glaze a slightly different read. The slim frame and the recessed panel give the glaze two clear places to settle: along the inside reveal of the panel, and around the outside frame edges. Built on MDF, the door takes the painted base and the wiped glaze smoothly without grain telegraphing through.

Where This Finish Lands Best
The Kenna door in this finish carries transitional kitchens that want depth without ornate detailing, formal kitchens with adjacent dining rooms, and color-block layouts where the gunmetal blue serves as the cabinetry anchor. It pairs comfortably with white or cream quartz, unlacquered brass or warm nickel hardware, and warm wood floors. Chrome can read cold against the depth of the glaze.
Honest Note on Variation
Hand-glazed finishes vary between doors by design, with the glaze depth and pattern shifting slightly across runs. That variation is what gives the finish its hand-built character. Order a sample door so you can see the actual glaze depth on the Kenna proportion in person before placing the kitchen order.
