I rejuvinate your old kitchen units and furniture by hand painting them in a colour or effect specially prepared for you.
I have extensive knowledge and experience of traditional painting skills that have been used by craftsmen for centuries. I specialise particularly in fitted kitchens and fitted or freestanding bedroom and bathroom furniture usually designed and manufactured by local cabinetmakers/kitchen companies. The beauty of a hand painted kitchen is that it can be changed quite easily and inexpensively in comparison to a new kitchen.
We renovated this old kitchen, removing all doors and drawer fronts to repair and apply new paint.

Having served my apprenticeship in our family-run decorating business, established in 1960.
I now use the skills passed on to me by my father in the decorative paint finishes applied to furniture.
Most of the modern paint finishes are simply an adaptation of techniques used by craftsmen in years gone by.

This job was one of the first kitchens I painted about 13 years ago (one of the first kitchens I painted after going full time into the kitchen business).
The house had just changed hands and the new owner wanted the kitchen repainted to fit in with their own style and furniture, the beauty of a hand painted kitchen is that it can be changed quite easily and inexpensively in comparison to a new kitchen.
I firstly removed all the ironmongery from the cabinets, taped and protected the surrounding areas, then all the painted surfaces (including all internals which were bare MDF when new) were cleaned and sanded to remove any blemishes/damaged areas.

This client is based in Broughty Ferry near Dundee, and found me on Google.
She explained that although she was happy with the layout of her kitchen, she no longer liked the 'real wood' effect.
Rather than replace the kitchen, she chose to renovate it by changing the colour to something fresh and modern and replacing the floor.
We chose Farrow and Ball's 'ammonite' which is described as a 'naturally understated grey' with a contrasting rich, dark colour for the detail.
Looking at the contrast between the unpainted and painted kitchen, it's astonishing how different the kitchen looks.

This is a Clive Christian Kitchen fitted approximately 20 years ago in a new house in Edinburgh.
My client recently bought the house and wished to change the look of the kitchen.
The client had new work surfaces fitted.
All the doors and drawer fronts were removed and primer was applied.
Note the detail on the extractor hood in the finished images.
If you look at the first picture you will notice the open fret work on the extractor, to give a more modern look I covered this with thin plywood.
The paint used was Farrow & Ball 'Pointing' estate eggshell.

My client bought this house in the Murrayfield area of Edinburgh and inherited a high end 'Clive Christian' kitchen with the house.
It had been badly repainted.
I presume the previous owner tried to make it look good for the sale.
As you can see a great deal of sanding and repair work was necessary before applying new paint.
The badly damaged areas were cut out and/or sanded down then sealed using primer.
The client changed the colour from the original to suit their style better.
