Man, I hate to rain on your parade, but...Who is this "professional" refinisher? Where are the toners? Good grief, it's been stripped and refinished in one color!
I need to take a photo of a 37-650X I have here that Barry Jones, a friend of mine and a genius at refinishing cabinets, did a year or so ago. It was toned where it should be toned...and is walnut where it should be walnut.
If it was sprayed with lacquer, don't worry, it can still be made to look right. But I would be having a long talk with that "refinisher"...especially once you see what that cabinet should look like.
Unfortunately that sort of work is pretty typical of many "Professional" refinishers, strip and spray, no dye, no toner, no grain filler, and sometimes oil stain slobbed on, I think many are former car painters that branched out. There is only one guy that I know of around my parts that would refinish furniture properly and unfortunately he quite the business to go into kitchen cabinets.
