Project Description

This residential cabinet transformation in Royal Oak, MI, gave an outdated kitchen and two bathroom vanities a completely refreshed appearance without the cost of full cabinet replacement. Through expert cabinet refinishing, the homeowners achieved a modern, high-end look while preserving the existing cabinet structure.

The project included refinishing thirty-six kitchen cabinet doors, seventeen drawer fronts, twenty-one cabinet boxes, eleven panels, and a custom wine rack. Two bathroom vanities were also updated to create a cohesive look throughout the home. Every surface was professionally cleaned, sanded, primed, and refinished using premium Novalk products for durable, elegant, smooth, spray-finished cabinets.

The kitchen island became the focal point of the space with a rich Hale Navy finish that introduced bold contrast and designer-inspired character. Combined with the color-matched perimeter cabinets, the final result delivered a timeless and welcoming atmosphere.

Kitchen Cabinet Transformation

The kitchen originally felt dark and worn from years of daily use. Although the cabinet layout remained functional, the finish had lost its vibrancy, and several surfaces showed visible wear around high-touch areas.

To begin the transformation, all cabinet doors and drawer fronts were carefully removed and transported to the shop for refinishing. Each surface was washed to remove grease and buildup before detailed sanding and priming, which prepared the cabinetry for a flawless finish. Multiple coats of durable two-part cabinet coating with hardener were then professionally sprayed to create exceptionally smooth, spray-finished cabinets with a factory-quality appearance.

Natural light now reflects softly across the updated cabinetry, brightening the entire kitchen and making the space feel cleaner and more open. The Hale Navy island instantly became the centerpiece of the room, adding dramatic contrast and sophisticated depth under both daylight and evening lighting. The combination of crisp white cabinetry and the rich navy island created a balanced, luxurious aesthetic that completely elevated the home.

Bathroom Vanity Painting

The project also included professional bathroom vanity painting for two vanities that had begun to show signs of age and wear. The updated finishes gave both spaces a fresh, polished appearance while maintaining visual consistency with the kitchen.

Under bright vanity lighting, the smooth surfaces now reflect light evenly, creating a clean, refined look. The updated vanities feel modern, durable, and cohesive with the rest of the home’s cabinetry upgrades.

Paints & Products Used

Premium Novalk products were selected to ensure durability, smoothness, and long-term beauty throughout this project in Royal Oak, MI.

Novalk Color-Matched Cabinet Coating

The perimeter cabinets were refinished using a carefully matched Novalk coating designed to preserve the homeowners’ preferred color palette while dramatically improving the finish quality. The coating provided smooth leveling and excellent coverage for a refined satin appearance.

Novalk Hale Navy Finish

The Hale Navy island added bold character and a custom designer feel to the kitchen. Depending on the lighting throughout the day, the finish shifts between rich navy and softer blue undertones, creating warmth and visual depth.

Two-Part Cabinet Coating With Hardener

A professional two-part coating system with hardener was used to improve durability, adhesion, and resistance to daily wear. This process helps the cabinetry maintain its smooth finish while standing up to frequent use and cleaning.
