Cabinet Transformation - Maple to Oak

This was a different transformation.  In past jobs the clients have wanted to take light oak cabinets and make them dark.  But these wonderful clients wanted to lighten and brighten their kitchen by updating their maple cabinets into a medium oak color.  And, they wanted the wallpaper removed and replaced with mural work.

 

~Before ~

notice the wallpaper - and the older cabinet hardware

 

~ Before ~

the lower cabinets

 

~ After ~ 

I did faux graining on these to make them look authentic.  New hardware was also added to update the look.

 

 ~ After ~

the lower cabinets

 

~ No more wallpaper ~

I painted the fruit mural and leaves to match my clients plates

 ~ The client is thrilled, and I'm really happy too.  I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out and I'm really pleased with the results. ~

Cabinets and Staircase

Here is another fun job that I recently completed.  We transformed the staircase and bathroom and kitchen cabinets. 

~ Here is the staircase before.  A beautiful golden oak ~

~ After - stained espresso to match the floors, with white spindles. ~

~ Bathroom cabinets before ~

~ and after ~

~ The kitchen cabinets were golden oak before ~

~ And VIOLA! After ~

I think this is my new favorite look!

Cabinets & Doors

If you're thinking about replacing cabinets or doors - you know how costly that can be.  However, refinishing them will give your home that updated custom look you desire - for a fraction of the cost.  Here are some "Before's and After's" for you to choose from!

Bathroom vanity - Before

 After

 Another bath "after"

 Kitchen cabinets - Before

 After - a beautiful Cherry Wood finish

 These cabinets were originally a "pinkish yellow" oak

 Now look at the crisp clean white!

 Here is an antiqued white look.

A cherry finish

 The warm teak "Tommy Bahama" look

 The doors and all woodwork in this home were plain white

 This is an "in progress" photo of the same door.

 And these VERY tall double doors were also plain white

And the finished product!

Cabinet Transformation

This transformation exceeded my expections. The clients wanted to change their cabinets by painting them with a Silver Taupe finish.

~ Here's a before photo ~

~ And another... but just wait for the change! ~
~ What a difference! ~
~ The finish compliments the counter top and appliances so lovely. ~
~ I painted the inside of the built in china cabinet black. ~
~ The china stands out beautifully on the black background. ~
