Kenna in Whitecap Smoke Glaze pairs Kitchen Craft's brightest white painted base with a smoke-gray glaze, brushed into the door's profile and wiped back. The contrast is restrained — visible enough to define the door's lines, soft enough to keep the cabinetry reading as a clean white rather than a heavy traditional finish.
Cool White Base With a Soft Smoke Wipe
Whitecap is a cool-leaning bright white painted finish. Smoke glaze is hand-applied across the sealed base, then wiped back so it remains in the panel reveal and along the profiled inner edge. The smoke pigment is more subtle than the black-glaze variant, which makes Whitecap Smoke a popular pick for transitional kitchens that want refinement without the drama.

Best Project Type
Transitional kitchens, primary baths designed around marble or honed quartz, lake-house and cottage builds, and remodels where the homeowner wants painted white cabinets with a hint of antique character. The smoke glaze plays well with brushed nickel, polished nickel, and aged-bronze hardware.
Care
Wipe with damp microfiber and a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid bleach and citrus solvents, which can compromise the glaze top layer over time. Touch-up kits are available for small chips, but full-door re-finishing on glazed cabinets is more involved than on flat painted doors.
Sample a door under your kitchen's actual lighting before locking the order; smoke glaze can read more gray under daylight LEDs and warmer under incandescent.
