News from the world of hand painted kitchens & furniture
This kitchen was a bespoke build for a beautiful house in the Newington area of Edinburgh. It was designed and built by an Edinburgh based company.

My latest kitchen transformation in Edinburgh
An interesting use of colours on this kitchen. My client was looking to have a change from the high gloss black cabinets, as they were tired of trying to keep them clean of finger prints. They decided to keep the natural oak cabinets to contrast with the new colours. This was an interesting project to be involved in. Here is …
All the best to all my clients for the festive season!
This is a recent kitchen I painted in a smart New Town flat in Edinburgh. The design work that has gone into this small space is incredibly well executed.

I’ve been busy painting yet another Clive Christian kitchen.. my 4th one in the last few months.

After alot of preparation and sanding out the original heavily distressed and painted Chalon kitchen, I have finally finished repainting it. I pretty well matched the original colours but my client didn’t want the same level of distressing. It hadn’t been touched since it was installed 25 years ago. I’ve included some photos of the level of sanding required. The …
Yet another kitchen that I painted five years ago. The client asked me to change the colour three years later and at the time I was so busy that the client decided to use someone else.
