Cape May Cobblestone gray satin spray-painted on cabinets, plus new hardware

Cabinet Spraying in Roslyn

Leave it to the Romans, again, to invent something useful like cobblestone streets. In 15th century England, cobblestone roads were built for more reliable road surfaces, and cobblestones came to the U.S. in the 1800s. Most of New York City’s streets once were cobblestone, and some remain today. This is the long introduction to Cape May Cobblestone satin paint from Benjamin Moore that we recently used to transform this dated kitchen into a contemporary, stylish space.

The client waited two years to remodel, and we are thrilled to have been a part of reviving the cabinets with a soft, contemporary gray, especially one with cobblestone in the name. Professional cabinet spraying is a process, and we have the experience and skills to do it clearly, smoothly and correctly the first time every time. We installed the new hardware as well, and once the tile folks return to put up the new backsplash, we think the coffee will smell richer and everything taste delicious in this brilliant, beautiful kitchen. Good things are worth waiting for, they say, and here, it certainly strikes true in the heart of this home.

Old dated cabinets in need of modern color for contemporary style.

Gowanus Cabinet Painting Contractor

The kitchen really is the heart of the home, not only for food and beverages, but also for info exchange, notes, reminders, kid’s drawings and all kinds of communication. This Brooklyn space was definitely outdated with dark cupboards and round knobs alongside darker – black – appliances. And, the stainless steel appliances were not showcased the way they are with the changes.

Our team removed the old, dark backsplash, patched the wall and installed a very cool new penny tile backsplash pattern. The cabinet doors were taken off-site for expert refinishing in our dedicated spray paint studio. We expertly resurfaced the upper cupboard doors with Farrow & Ball’s Oxford Stone. The lower cabinets took on Farrow & Ball’s Tanner’s Brown. With sleek, new hardware handles, the transformation is stunning. It exudes a contemporary aura and like all kitchen renovations, adds measurable value to the property and immeasurable value to the daily experience living here.

Westchester County Backsplash Contractor

The little hamlet of Chappaqua covers less than half a square mile and is embedded in the town of New Castle on the east bank of the Hudson River. We don’t know if George Washington ever slept here, but Horace Greeley lived here and one creative, local couple recently called us to renovate their kitchen. With a baby delivery on the horizon, the schedule was tight and the work was intense. Our first tasks were demolishing and hauling out the countertops, installing a new backsplash and prepping for a complete cabinet resurfacing.

Handling cupboard doors, hardware and drawer fronts in this substantial kitchen, including its island, is a labor-intensive undertaking. Our crew protects floors and anything else adjacent and takes seriously all the steps to prep and resurface kitchen cabinetry for a smooth luster and clean finish. Taking this kitchen from outdated yesteryear to new world luxury will mightily impress this new baby. Well, baby might not notice right away, but we think the parents will meet their new challenges with aplomb, grace and confidence for having such a stunning kitchen in which to warm the baby’s bottles.

New Jersey Kitchen Update

Once the heart of the home for the food and beverages there, kitchens have evolved into gathering spaces where local and global issues are addressed, along with homework, idea exchanges and family discussions. The décor here can even set the household mood, and replacing dark, dated cabinet fronts and black counters with bright white everything lifted the energy in this Cliffside Park, N.J., home.

 Here’s where perhaps mother knows best, as the kitchen makeover was a mom’s gift to her daughter. After new counters were in place, the Paintworks team scrutinized the cupboard doors and drawers, noting and correcting every little ding, dent and scratch. Only then did we paint the cabinets with Benjamin Moore’s popular classic, Decorator’s White. Outdated knobs were replaced with contemporary brushed nickel handles for a modern vibe and complement to the stainless steel appliances. We were energized as each door and drawer was transformed from drab and dull to stylish and sophisticated. This borough is known as “on top of the palisades” for its Hudson River bank, and this daughter homeowner is surely on top of the world with this newly renovated heart of her home.

Queens Kitchen Renovation

Of the many ways to spruce up a home, kitchen remodeling is one of the premier projects for pure enjoyment, potential energy savings, enhanced lifestyle and increased property value. And diving into the whole enchilada can deliver a much-needed update for the residents, adjoining spaces and food and drink prep in a way nothing else can. We headed into this Queens kitchen with marching orders to gut everything including the kitchen sink. We cleared the space, tore up the flooring and began the prep work for this sharp black and white contemporary kitchen.

 Our team put down a classy charcoal color tile floor first, then we installed new white cabinetry with simple brushed nickel knobs. After the fabricator laid the sleek black countertops, we planned, spaced and positioned a stylish subway tile backsplash. The  Paintworks crew wheeled in and hooked up all the appliances, picked up our stuff and admired this newly renovated kitchen. The homeowners are thrilled with the outcome, and while the restaurants in Queens span the globe for tasty culinary selections, these folks might want to dine in using their neat new kitchen.
