Honey oak to bottle green
A sound 1990s oak kitchen that the owners were about to rip out. Sprayed a deep bottle green with aged brass handles instead, for about a fifth of a new one.

The boxes were solid maple-faced plywood and the doors solid oak: nothing wrong with them except the orange finish. A new kitchen had been quoted at nearly $30,000.
The doors and drawer fronts went to the shop to be degreased, sanded, primed and sprayed. On site we masked the counters and floor and painted the frames and island in place. A week later the doors came back with new brass handles, and the kitchen was in use the whole time.
