Project Summary
This Austin, TX 78723 project was a full kitchen cabinet refinish on Greenwood Ave, taking the existing sage-green painted cabinetry to a completely different look: a rich, deep mahogany-tone finish across every upper and lower cabinet, the island, and the range hood surround. The kitchen's natural stone countertops, backsplash, and hardware stayed in place, so the dramatic color change was the focus of the transformation.
Hill Country Painting's crew also refinished the built-in shelving and cabinetry in an adjoining butler's pantry-style nook, taking it from bare, unfinished wood to a clean painted white finish that ties the space into the rest of the home's trim.
Scope of Work
- Full kitchen cabinetry: uppers, lowers, island, and range hood surround refinished
- Color change from painted sage-green to a rich mahogany-tone finish
- Built-in shelving and cabinetry in an adjoining room painted from bare wood to white
- Existing countertops, backsplash, and hardware masked and protected throughout
Materials & Process
The kitchen's cabinet doors, drawers, face frames, island, and range hood surround were prepped and refinished in place to change the cabinetry from its original painted sage-green color to a deep mahogany-tone finish. In the adjoining butler's pantry-style nook, built-in floating shelving and a lower cabinet run were primed and painted white to complement the room's tile and stone work.
Countertops, backsplash tile, and hardware throughout the project were masked and protected during prep and painting.
