BEFORE - Dull and Outdated Paint and Knobs

2-Tone Cabinet Painting in Manhattan

The kitchen, that proverbial heart of the home, has evolved in recent months in many a home to the proverbial heart of work space. Manhattan residences are not synonymous with McMansions or sprawling spaces where a home office can be quickly carved in an under-utilized room. Here, things are organized for maximum efficiency in every square foot; there simply are no under-utilized rooms. So, the new work-at-home model – whether temporary or permanent - must be adapted to what’s available. Here it was one outdated kitchen.

The client wanted to refresh her kitchen/home office combo, so after beautiful new counters and a modern horizontal-pattern backsplash were installed, we breezed in to paint the cabinets and install new hardware. The upper cupboards have been smoothly coated with the Sherwin-Williams satin paint named Pure White. The lower ones are Tricorn Black, also in satin, also a Sherwin-Williams product. The hardware is an understated elegant brushed nickel in simple square knobs and horizontal draw pulls. We suspect this lady can work better, smarter and more efficiently for having this stylish, sleek, new update at the end of her 14-foot [give or take] commute to work.

The power of a first impression can make or break a property sale on first look. With home buyers shopping online initially these days, home sellers are wise to set the stage for a wow factor from that proverbial first impression. And this almost always involves paint. Fresh coats of paint are simply the least expensive bang for your buck in presenting a lovely interior, and here in Chelsea, a stunning kitchen as well. The Chelsea section of Manhattan hugs the Hudson River and offers trendy night spots, chic shops and abundant art galleries.

Dark wood cabinets plunged this kitchen into a dull and dingy space which didn’t seem to fit into the neighborhood or the home. Our Paintworks team rolled in not only to paint the entire apartment, but also to resurface these cabinets for a smooth, sophisticated rendition of one very cool, contemporary kitchen. We moved cabinet doors to our uniquely-designed paint studio, controlled for temperature and dust and outfitted with brilliant lighting. Once completely smooth and dry, we carefully returned and installed them. The owner putting this up for sale understands that fresh paint can close a sale, often at asking price or perhaps higher. New owners are sure to enjoy the timeless white kitchen for decades, as white continues to top the annual kitchen color popularity survey by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (nkba.org).

Having cabinet doors painted can offer the kind of cost-effective rejuvenation needed in your kitchen, home office, game room, bathroom, den or anywhere in your home, office or business. The best way to accomplish this potentially challenging project is to call on us. We at Paintworks have a specially designed, constructed and outfitted painting facility. The interior environment is not only controlled for temperature and dust, but also the lighting is intentionally bright to reveal scratches and imperfections. We can fill, fix and sand blemishes so the final finish is smooth and lustrous.

Our team is experienced in removing hardware and cabinet doors, handling them with care and transporting everything to our paint shop. Your adjacent floors, appliances, rooms and furnishings are not subjected to massive cover-ups, except briefly in the case of our painting cabinet support structures and drawer fronts. We return everything, assemble it and leave your place incredibly more attractive than it was. And one other thing ~ we like doing this! The first words you see on our website are:

Painting is our passion.

 Making people happy is our mission. 

We offer free quotes and work in your timeline, even if it means evenings, overnight or weekends. Let us provide the kind of room revival that professionally painted cabinet doors provide, with or without new hardware. Often old hardware looks new with a different color, and new hardware can change the whole space vibe. That’s your call, after you call us.
