Designer Chelsea Evans wasn’t daunted by this kitchen’s 1950’s wallpaper and the lime green countertops and backsplash. As part of her overall design, we painted her cabinets in Sherwin Williams “Chamois“, “Thunderous“, and “High Reflective White“.

It’s a subtle, elegant difference. This formerly bland white kitchen was given warm and contrast by painting the cabinets in Benjamin Moore “Inukshuk” (AKA “Smokey Taupe”) and Sherwin Williams “Tricorn Black” (for the built-ins at left). Design by Studio Brownstone.

What a transformation! In addition to us painting the cabinets in Benjamin Moore “Oil Cloth” and “Simply White” (for the island), the homeowner also reworked the island’s shape and replaced the outdated backsplash. No more heavy brown!

Both the slate gray cabinet color and the stone backsplash felt dark and heavy to this homeowner. We left the stained cabinets as-is and painted the rest in Benjamin Moore “Chantilly Lace“, for a much brighter space.
This homeowner wanted a moody, lounge vibe here. We painted the built-in cabinets and the walls in Sherwin Williams “Rookwood Shutter Green“, a deep green with cool blue undertones..
What a difference! More than just cabinet painting transformed this kitchen, of course, but we sure love this soft, cheerful color: Benjamin Moore “Stratton Blue“.
This lovely West Austin kitchen shows the difference even a subtle change in color can make. The original white cabinets felt cold and didn’t contribute to the warmth and elegance of the rest of the home. We painted the cabinets in Sherwin Williams “Skyline Steel“.

This stunning remodel by Haven Design and Construction was the second-most saved kitchen on Houzz in 2018! Perimeter cabinets are Sherwin Williams SW 7005 “Pure White” (painted by the cabinet maker), and the black island and range hood were painted by us in Benjamin Moore BM 2133-10 “Onyx“. A perfect two-tone kitchen!

White kitchens don’t have to be boring, but this one was! Painting the cabinets in Sherwin Williams “Soccer Pitch” gave this space instant elegance and drama.
This hacienda-style Spanish kitchen was oversaturated with dated colors. Abode Interior Design brought us in to help update the whole space, cabinets and all, in this fresh, lovely custom white.

This kitchen in Rollingwood TX shows two cabinet colors beautifully. Our Austin team painted the upper cabinets in Benjamin Moore’s HC-170, “Stonington Gray“, and the lowers and island in HC-154, “Hale Navy“. The long expanse of cabinetry is now soothing and sophisticated, not just a wall of orange stained woodwork.

We used Sherwin Williams “Light French Gray” to transform what used to be a wall of dark brown cabinets to a fresh, sophisticated kitchen. We also love the simplified profile of the range hood!

East Austin style, done to perfection! We painted these IKEA cabinets in Benjamin Moore 469 “Backwoods“. Notice how the homeowner removed the extra upper cabinets and tile backsplash, to make this kitchen that much lighter and brighter.

A bright, modern update in Sherwin Williams 7006 “Extra White“! We love this kitchen’s fresh, retro vibe. Even if your cabinets were just a bit “blah” but not abysmally dark beforehand, a fresh color can make all the difference. We love it when a fabulous kitchen before and after was accomplished with just paint!

Even though the white-and-navy colors of this Mueller (East Austin) kitchen were not bad, the homeowner wanted a more personal, fresh and unique vibe. We painted the kitchen perimeter cabinets in Benjamin Moore 1565 “Mount Saint Anne“, and the island in HC-158 “Newburg Green“.
In addition to updating the flooring, counters and pendant lights, this homeowner had us paint her kitchen perimeter cabinets in Benjamin Moore OC-17 “White Dove“, and the island in Sherwin Williams 9138 “Stardew“. Design selections by Cindy Newman of Creative Consulting in Dallas, Texas. It’s a whole new space!

These homeowners love this rich, luscious deep teal color, which matches the silk velvet chairs in their adjoining dining room. We love their bold sense of style! Island painted in Benjamin Moore 2057-30 “Naples Blue“. Outer cabinets in Sherwin Williams “Extra White” keep the space light and fresh.
