I was contacted by clients in Towthorpe, just outside York, who wanted to refresh the kitchen paintwork in their beautiful barn conversion. They had seen my work online, read my reviews, and were confident I could deliver the high-quality hand-painted finish they were looking for – even among professional kitchen painters, the quality of the end result can vary enormously.

After discussing their needs, I explained my hand-painted process and its advantages over spraying – a sharper, crisper finish, greater attention to detail, and the ability to be easily maintained or refreshed without a full respray. The chosen colour palette very similar to the original, but with a slightly darker shade for the island. This maintained the contrast between the main units and the island, whilst keeping the overall look cohesive.

The process behind a flawless hand-painted finish is highly skilled and all about the tiniest details. Proper preparation and the application of multiple thin layers of high-performance specialist paint ensures a smooth yet tactile finish, that resists wear.

The result was exactly what I aim for in every project – a smooth durable finish that hugs the surface and enhances the design and detailing of the woodwork, and I was thrilled to receive this 5* Google Review from the client:

“I contacted Lee some months back after being drawn to the professional looking nature of his website and work. I wanted my kitchen cabinets painting, a big job and one I wanted doing with an expert and professional hand. I had to wait some months for Lee to fit us in which he was very upfront about. He provided a hugely comprehensive quote which we found very reasonable given the work to be undertaken. Fast forward to September, Lee began the work and all I can say is that he was worth waiting for. His communication is excellent, his punctuality precise, his work and attention to detail is exemplary and his manner is professional, friendly and kind. We left him our house key as we were away for part of the refurbishment, and he treated our home with respect and courtesy. You would be lucky to find a tidier and more reliable artist. Thank you Lee.”

Every kitchen I paint receives meticulous care, ensuring a hand-painted finish that will maintaining its beauty and functionality over time. So if you’re in Yorkshire and would like to discuss your project, please get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.
