News from the world of hand painted kitchens & furniture
Just a short update on the post we put up a while ago (Second Hand Clive Christian Kitchen). We completed this kitchen earlier in the year, but the client hadn’t had her granite worktops installed yet, and we said we would love to take some photos when it was all complete. It has been some time since they were installed …
We just thought we would give you a quick update on a kitchen we painted last month. The client had decided that she would like new worktops so we recommended ‘Granite Transformations’. We had heard of them through other clients and had heard and seen the great work that they do. The client chose a white colour with a slight …
This was a relativity small kitchen compared to others that we have painted. Our brief was to brighten the room up and to make it look newer and fresher. After a shorter colour consultation than we were used to, the client decided that instead of a bright white she would prefer a pale grey to match her walls and worktops. …
The work never stops around here! This was a lovely melamine kitchen that didn’t have anything wrong with it but the owners decided they wanted a brighter fresher look. As this was melamine there is no need for sanding, so no mess and no need to take the doors back to our workshop this time. After preparing the area and …
This job was a little closer to home than the last few we have done! Our clients inherited this kitchen when they bought the house and although it was lovely it didn’t quite fit into their style for the house.

The owners of this kitchen in Edinburgh had new MDF shaker style doors made and fitted by their joiner. I was commissioned to paint them in Farrow&Ball Wimborne white. The doors were taken away to our workshop and as they were already bare MDF there was no need for sanding this time. Even though they were new doors there were …
Another kitchen in Edinburgh that we completed a few weeks ago. An oak effect melamine finish, prepared and primed with a specialist primer the finished in Farrow&ball ‘pointing’. I also prepared and painted the wall tiles in the same way(finished in purbeck stone). Great result, brightened up a small dark kitchen into somthing much brighter and open feeling. …
My remit was to transform this somewhat dull oak kitchen into a bright colourful look. All doors were removed, taken to my workshop where they we cleaned, sanded, primed then painted in Farrow&ball ‘green blue’. Doors all refitted and existing wooden handles refitted. Client was very happy with the result, all work carried out within one week.
This job was in two parts really. Part one was to paint the surrounds of the cabinets that I painted the doors of a few months ago. The client wasn’t sure about painting the entire kitchen at the time but changed her mind. The cabinets are finished in F&B strong white with the mantle and plinths in moles breath. Part …
