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. This was a major refurbishment of the unused basement area to create a stunning kitchen for this young family. I was commissioned to hand paint the new cabinetry, the base coats were applied off …
We revisited this kitchen for the 3rd time this week. It’s now on its 3rd change of colour over a number of years. Repainting is a great way to give your kitchen a new lease of life without the expense, fuss and waste of installing a new kitchen. The colour this time is matched to Farrow & Ball ‘pavilion grey’. …

Two wooden kitchens bite the dust! This month I finished two kitchens using Tikkurila Helmi 30 – a lovely rich white. Tikkurila are a Nordic company who develop high quality sustainable paints. The rooms were considerably lighter and brighter after their makeover!
Happy Christmas and New Year to all my clients, and here’s to a more peaceful 2021.
I carried out this work in Stirling a few weeks ago. The client also had tiling and decorating carried out to complete the transformation. Quite a different style of kitchen to my usual jobs, a real transformation on this one. The colours are a match to ‘Purbeck Stone’ & ‘Railings’ from Farrow & Ball. New brass handles were also fitted.

I suggested painting the ceiling, doors and drawer fronts, which really transformed the room. Here are some before and after photos.
