Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Medfield, MA: A Complete Kitchen Transformation by Laperle Painting
When a Medfield homeowner decided it was time to breathe new life into their kitchen, they turned to Laperle Painting Company, Inc., and the results speak for themselves. What started as warm honey-toned cabinets became a bright, timeless kitchen that looks like it belongs in a design magazine. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how we made it happen.
The Before: A Kitchen Ready for a Change
The kitchen featured solid wood cabinets in a traditional raised-panel style quality construction, just dated in color. The original warm orange-brown stain, while popular in its era, made the space feel darker and heavier than it needed to be. The homeowners had high-end stainless-steel appliances, beautiful hardwood floors, and a stunning octagonal tray ceiling all architectural features that deserved a backdrop that could match their elegance.
They didn't want to gut the kitchen. They wanted a smarter investment: professional cabinet painting that would transform the entire space at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Our Process: The Right Way to Paint Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet painting done right is far more involved than rolling a coat of paint over the doors. At Laperle Painting, we follow a meticulous process that ensures a finish that's durable, smooth, and built to last in a high-use environment like a kitchen.
Step 1: Disassembly We carefully removed all cabinet doors and drawer faces from the boxes and set up a professional spray booth right within the kitchen. This spray booth includes a ventilation system that exhausts directly outdoors, removing dust particles and overspray from the air. Painting doors flat in this controlled environment produces a dramatically smoother result than painting them in place where dust, gravity, and limited access are constant challenges.
Step 2: Surface Preparation Each door and drawer face was thoroughly sanded to create the ideal surface for adhesion. After sanding, we wiped every surface with tack cloths to remove fine dust particles a step that many painters skip but one that makes all the difference between a finish that looks professional and one that looks amateur.
Step 3: Primer Coat A high-quality primer was applied before any finish coats. Priming is what gives paint something to bite into on a previously stained or sealed surface, and it's what prevents bleed-through and ensures uniform color coverage.
Step 4: Two Finish Coats of Lacquer We applied two finish coats of lacquer, tinted to Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter HC-172. Lacquer is the preferred finish for cabinet painting because it dries hard, levels beautifully, and stands up to the cleaning and daily wear a kitchen demands. Revere Pewter is a sophisticated warm gray that brightens the space while remaining completely timeless it's one of Benjamin Moore's most beloved and enduring colors for a reason.
Carpenter Work: The Details That Complete the Picture
Painting alone wasn't the full scope of this project. Our skilled carpenter also replaced all of the window and door casements throughout the kitchen. Old, dated trim can undermine even the most beautiful paint job, so updating the casements was an important part of delivering a truly finished look.
Once the cabinet doors were reinstalled and the new casements were in place, our painters completed the transformation by painting the kitchen ceiling, walls, and all woodwork tying the entire space together into a cohesive, polished result.
The After: A Kitchen Completely Transformed
The finished kitchen is stunning. The soft warm-gray Revere Pewter cabinets now complement the marble backsplash, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances perfectly. The octagonal tray ceiling and the wall of windows that look out to the yard are no longer competing with the heavy wood tones they're the stars of the show.
Comparing the before and after photos, it's hard to believe it's the same kitchen. That's the power of professional cabinet painting done right.
