Sublime Decor Case Study: Hand Painted Kitchen Cabinets

Hand Painted Kitchen Cabinets

This is a top end Mark Wilkinson kitchen that we recently returned from painting on the east coast of America. Mark Wilkinson shipped all the cabinetry across from the UK, along with the fitter, and fitted the kitchen ready for us to paint.

Apart from looking at the plans, the first time we saw the kitchen was when we arrived at the house for our first day of work.

We did all the usual prep such as making good any nail holes and caulking all the joints to maintain the detail. We were using Mark Wilkinsons own brand paint which we hadn't used before. The main difference being it was a water base rather than our usual oil based version.

The trickiest part of working with this paint was that because of the humidity and heat the paint was drying very fast on the surface. We over came this bey completing sections 1st thing in the morning or last thing at night.

As the pictures show the kitchen colours and worktops all look terrific!
