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 …
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 was in Edinburgh this week, working locally for the first time in a while. My clients wanted to keep some of the wood in their kitchen, but also wanted to brighten the room up. I suggested painting the ceiling, doors and drawer fronts, which really transformed the room. Here are some before and after photos.
This was a perfectly good solid limed oak kitchen in need of new life. The doors were removed, completely sanded down then painted in ‘Tikkurila Helmi 10’ mixed with ‘Farrow & Ball’ railings. New handles were fitted to complete the new look. My client is delighted with the result. A complete transformation in one week.

The previous paint …

It was prepared and painted in white, then the wall cabinets with the base cabinets were finished in Farrow&ball Middleton pink. The knobs and draw pulls are brand new brushed copper and the worktops are going to be updated.
‘I do like to be beside the seaside’ This gallery is from a recent trip to East Lothian to paint a beautiful kitchen. This is the second time I’ve painted this one, and I must say I enjoyed the views even more this time. It’s finished with Farrow&ball ‘Teresa’s Green’.
I’ve just completed my first kitchen since restrictions lifted here. Ths second lockdown has felt even longer than the first for some reason, and I’m pleased to be back. What could be a more fitting colour for a spring kitchen than this lovely spring green? I hand painted this kitchen in Currie, Edinburgh, giving it a new lease of life. …
Due to finding myself in lockdown again I decided it was a good opportunity to carry out the re-painting of our own kitchen. This has been in the planning stages for quite some time, we had planned on replacing the worktops but my fitter couldn’t manage to carry this out pre Christmas and since then we’ve been unable to obtain …
We’re taking a short break from Monday 21st December until Monday 4th January. I wish you all a peaceful Christmas and a happy New Year.
