For this hand painted kitchen project I travelled to Halifax, West Yorkshire. Using my tried and tested hand painted finish I transformed this beech laminate kitchen, creating a bespoke space that looked much more contemporary, airy and bright. Whether your kitchen is oak, pre-painted, laminate or lacquered, all my work and preparation is done to the highest standards using only […]

Having completed a kitchen painting project in West Yorkshire, and been sent some fantastic pics by the clients once the kitchen had been ‘dressed’, I thought I’d write a little Blog with some thoughts on accessorising your kitchen after having it hand painted. Obviously the biggest change to any kitchen cabinets is having them painted. This completely transforms the whole […]

This kitchen re-painting project began with the client calling and telling me their beautiful and expensive handmade kitchen cabinets had been re-painted by a local ‘kitchen painter’ and he had all but ruined it. They send me over some photos and then I visited them for a consultation. When I saw their kitchen words failed me. I will let you […]

As a kitchen cabinet painter I work throughout Yorkshire. This particular kitchen painting project was in Batley, West Yorkshire. I was contacted by Jill who had bought this solid wooden kitchen nearly thirty years ago. The cabinets were still in good condition and the layout worked perfectly, but with tastes having changed she now felt the cabinets looked dated. Having […]

For this Smallbone kitchen painter project, I was contacted by long-term client of mine in Harrogate, Yorkshire. Having undertaken various painting projects for her in the past, she now wanted me to hand paint the Smallbone kitchen in her new home. Knowing that I am always busy and that the painting of the kitchen would be the final part of […]

As a specialist kitchen painter I travel throughout Yorkshire, this particular job was undertaken in one of the beautiful Barkisland Mill apartments near Halifax. I was contacted by Sarah after she spoke to one of her neighbors, who’s kitchen I had painted a couple of years before. After sending some photos of her kitchen I was able to give an […]

It’s been a while since I posted a Blog, busy times here at Imaginative Interiors! This Blog shows how I went about preparing a hand painted kitchen in Harrogate, and how it was transformed from tired ‘orangey’ oak in to a much more modern and contemporary grey. As a specialist kitchen cabinet painter I travel throughout Yorkshire transforming wood and […]

As a kitchen painter I travel quite a bit around Yorkshire. This particular hand painted kitchen project was in Huntington, York. The kitchen was solid oak and had been made by Chapel Kitchens around 13 years ago. I have worked on a lot of kitchens over the years and the quality of the cabinetry work on this kitchen was second […]

This was a great little project for a client in Gargrave, Yorkshire. She bought this little console table loving the shape and style of it but not  the finish. As you can see from the ‘before’ photos below, the paint effect it had been given wasn’t particularly sympathetic to the delicacy of the design. It was very dark and heavy […]

This kitchen painting project was commissioned by a couple in Collingham, near Leeds. They had inherited the kitchen when they bought the house and were keen to update it, feeling that the large amount of wood was dominating the room, making it feel rather dark and dated. The cabinetry work was second to none, with each section having been beautifully […]

This painted marble effect Victorian fireplace was the second commission from a couple near Milton Keynes. The first fire surround I painted for them was in their lounge, this one was in the dining room. This too was in pretty poor condition and needed a fair bit of preparation before I could actually create the faux marble paint effect.  The […]

For this imitation painted marble project I traveled down to near Milton Keynes. The couple who commissioned me were doing extensive renovations to their home and wanted a specialist painter to faux marble two of their fireplaces and bring them back to their former Victorian glory. I absolutely love creating the illusion of marble with paint and these projects were […]
