“I just want to say that this experience was wonderful. It was easily done. I was very happy. The men that were here working, were very pleasant and I would certainly do this whole thing again I would suggest that you call hilltop painting with any help painting that you want done. I love the look of my new cabinets painted at my Bellingham house. Thank you so much for helping me out!”

About This Project

A well-kept Bellingham kitchen wearing its original golden oak: 35 doors and drawer fronts with old hardware holes to fill, arched uppers, and a peninsula that faced the living room with plain panels. The owner wanted the oak gone and something calm and colorful in its place.

Doors and drawers came off, numbered, and every old hardware hole was filled and sanded flush. After degreasing, masking, puttying, and a sanded prime coat, everything was sprayed in two coats of Emerald Urethane in a soft blue-green the owner chose. The peninsula got new board-and-batten trim before paint, so what used to be a flat panel now reads as furniture from the living-room side.
