Project Description

This residential cabinet painting Shelby Township, Michigan was designed to breathe life back into a beautiful home that had lost its spark in the kitchen. Jason and Val loved their space, but the dated antique cabinet finish weighed the room down and muted the natural light. Rather than replacing solid cabinetry, they chose a high-end cabinet painting solution that delivered a refined, custom look while preserving the integrity of their home.

As a professional house painter specializing in cabinet painting, Roy & Paul Cabinet Painting set out to create a transformation that felt intentional, vibrant, and timeless. Every step of the process was carefully planned to ensure a factory-smooth finish, long-term durability, and a result that felt completely renewed rather than simply repainted.

Before Cabinet Painting

Main Kitchen Cabinets

The existing cabinets carried a heavy antique tone that absorbed light and visually closed in the space. After extensive preparation, they were refinished in Sherwin Williams Dried Thyme, a rich, earthy green with a balanced depth that feels both grounding and elegant. The color shifts subtly throughout the day, appearing deeper and more dramatic in low light while softening into a calm, organic tone under natural daylight. The sprayed finish delivers a silky, furniture-grade surface with no brush marks, no texture, and no inconsistencies, allowing the cabinetry to feel custom-built rather than refinished.

Kitchen Island

To create contrast and visual balance, the island was painted in Sherwin Williams Grecian Ivory. This warm, creamy tone reflects light beautifully and anchors the center of the kitchen with a sense of openness and refinement. The smooth lacquer finish enhances the island’s architectural presence, making it feel like a statement piece rather than a secondary element. Together, the cabinet and island colors create a cohesive palette that feels fresh, inviting, and thoughtfully designed.

Cabinet Interiors and Glass Door Boxes

Cabinet interiors, especially those behind glass doors, were carefully sprayed to ensure a consistent and polished appearance inside and out. Opening each cabinet reveals a clean, uniform finish that reinforces the level of craftsmanship applied throughout the project. This attention to detail elevates the daily experience of using the kitchen and reinforces the value of hiring a professional cabinet painter.

Paints & Products Used

We selected Sherwin Williams Dried Thyme and Grecian Ivory for their superior pigment depth, color stability, and timeless appeal. Each surface was primed with Novalk Primer to ensure maximum adhesion and a flawless base. The cabinets were then finished with a two-part water-based lacquer top coat enhanced with hardener, specifically engineered for cabinet applications.

This system provides exceptional durability, resistance to wear, and a smooth, refined sheen that feels both luxurious and practical. Sanding between coats ensured each layer bonded seamlessly, resulting in a dense, protective finish that will maintain its beauty for years to come.
