This kitchen island painting project was a real pleasure to do and something very unique. The clients wanted to make it a real feature and create an effect that would compliment an old Chesterfield sofa that sat in the corner of the room. They were in the throws of renovating their old lakeside house and were doing everything as sympathetically […]

Hand Painted Kitchen Skipton

This fabulous hand painted kitchen project was undertaken for a lovely couple living in the picturesque town of Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales.

Read MoreSmallbone Kitchen Repaint Wakefield

This Smallbone kitchen repainting project was in a beautifully restored house on the outskirts of Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

Read MoreHand Painted Kitchen Bramhope

This hand painted kitchen project was undertaken in Bramhope, Leeds. When I paint any wooden or laminate kitchen the transformation is always great, but sometimes the results are extra special, this was one such project. The clients had inherited this hand made kitchen when they moved into the house and although high quality, it was perhaps ‘of a time’ and […]

I undertook this kitchen painting project in Rawdon, Leeds. This house was truly unique, a converted chapel that retained many of its original features, among which were stone archways, wooden ceilings, corbels and hidden niches.

This hand painted laminate kitchen was a great transformation and had an added bonus of being only a few hundred yards from my home in Harrogate. A 3 minute morning commute is a nice way to start your day. The clients had some pretty big changes in mind for the re-vamp and contacted me for to look at the painting […]
Read MoreKitchen Repaint Whixley

For this Blog I thought I’d do a case study of a kitchen repaint I completed towards the end of last year. As it’s a kitchen repaint I thought I’d focus mainly on close ups to show the difference between my finish and the one achieved by the other kitchen painter. Not all kitchen painters are the same and this […]

For this kitchen painting project I was phoned by a lady in Linton who wanted her bespoke hand made wooden ‘Jeremy Wood‘ modernised. It had been installed over 10 years ago and was now looking a little tired and worn in places. After emailing me over some photos I was able to give her a good idea of the costs […]
