Going Green in the Kitchen

This is not your grandmother’s avocado kitchen!

Green kitchen cabinets have been popping up all over the design blogs and there’s good reason why.  Green is a symbol of growth, energy and nature. It is full of calming properties.  It pairs beautifully with marble counters and the ever so popular marble looking quartz stones. We love to see emerald green cabinets with brushed brass hardware (swoon!).  Making the overall aesthetic the perfect mix of classic, modern, sophisticated and timeless.  

There’s a whole world of cleverly named green paints out there. November Rain, Snip of Parsley, Mown Grass and Forrest Green to name a few. 

Hubley Painting and Carpentry can make it very easy going green. Our cabinet crew is ready to paint your cabinets and bring new life to your kitchen. The only hard part will be deciding which green to pick.

Back to School

It is hard to believe we have come to the Sunday afternoon of the school year. Our summer days are fleeting and many of us will find ourselves back to stricter schedules and routines all too soon.

As a mother, I have learned the best way to survive the school year is being organized, but that is easier said than done. This time of year finds me creating spaces to collect the backpacks and papers which will accompany my children home each day. Areas are being carved out for homework and loaded with pencils and paper so there are no excuses to get out of homework.

At Hubley Painting & Carpentry we can make the transition back to school much easier by making the spaces in your home work for you. We specialize in custom cabinetry sprayed with our cabinet painting technique. We can build lockers and mudroom storage or create work spaces in the nooks of your home. Take a peek at some of the projects we have done for clients previously.

A Repurposed Workspace

The Hubley team recently turned these bookshelves into a high functioning workspace for a busy family. Homework doesn’t seem so bad when you have a beautiful space to do it in.

Mudroom Lockers

We all know the sliding door closets with lots of wide open space making it impossible to locate anything. Our clients were tired of backpacks, sports equipment and shoes piled up on the bottom of the closet. The Hubley team replaced the closet with lockers and extra storage cubbies. Now everyone has their own space and the clutter is out of sight.

A Library Office Space

Our clients wanted to take an unused formal living room and turn into an office space with plenty of shelves for books. The Hubley Team worked off of inspiration photos to create this beautiful focal wall which gave the room purpose. Our client have a great space to work from when they are home and the kids can also use the space for homework.

The Hubley Team can do so much for you and it all begins with a free consult with our sales leader, Steve. Reach out to make an appointment today.

The Evolution of a Kitchen Island

You do not need to gut your space to have the kitchen of your dreams. Our crews are experts at renovating your space by repurposing existing cabinetry and some newly built pieces to give you the look you want.

This island project is a good example of using a mix of old and new to get a custom look.

This was our client’s kitchen before they purchased the home. As you can see, the island was small and only offered room for 2 stools.

The client wanted to purchase a larger refrigerator and stove so our crew used one of the cabinets from the back wall to add more storage and sitting room to the island.

Another cabinet base was built at the end to house the microwave and add even more storage and work space.

Our carpenters trimmed out the island and gave it a presence in the room with a facade matching the rest of the kitchen trim work.

Several coats of paint ties all the new carpentry together with the original pieces.

The end result is stunning. It’s hard to believe it is the same kitchen. The space has gone from a builder grade to a cook’s dream kitchen.

Give the Hubley team a shout today if you are interested in transforming your kitchen to the space of your dreams!

Cabinet Painting gone wrong

Everyday clients reach out to us excited and hopeful about transforming their kitchen into the space of their dreams.  The kitchen is the hub of the home.  It nourishes our families.  It needs to be an inspiring and comfortable space.  Knowing the importance of the kitchen, we get upset when a client reaches out to us deflated after hiring another painter who did not live up to expectations.

One such client reached out to us desperate to get his kitchen looking decent after the paint started peeling off in sheets shortly after he had the cabinets painted by a “professional”.  The painter he had hired did not properly prep the surface to allow the paint to adhere.

So how do you know if the painter you are hiring for your cabinet project will get the job done well?  Here are a few guidelines to follow when evaluating your painting contractors.

  1. Qualifications – Hiring a painting contractor who is licensed and fully insured is essential for a successful home improvement project—it protects you and your property. Hubley Painting is fully licensed and insured.
  2. Type of paint – Make sure to ask your painter what type of paint they will be using for the project.  Some paint productions should only be sprayed in a specialized spray booth and not in a residential setting.  If you are unsure about the paint being used, check with a paint representative at your local paint store. Hubley Painting knows our clients want a factory finish, so we work hard to give them a high-quality painted surface that is safe for the homeowners and our crew.  We achieve this by working closely with the Benjamin Moore paint reps to select the right paint to ensure durability and longevity.  The product we use is a Waterborne Alkyd, a product that is applied like a latex paint but dries like an oil-based paint.  This product has fantastic leveling properties to provide a smooth and durable finish. A high-quality finish and the safety of our clients and crew are most important to us.
  3. Time on site – Ask your painting contractor how long they will be onsite.  Being thorough means our crew puts in a significant amount of time in on your project.  The doors and drawers are in the shop for approximately 3-4 weeks.  The crew is onsite 6-8 days.  There are other cabinet finishes that can be used for kitchen cabinets, but the faster drying products are hazardous and dangerous to spray inside residential settings.  We opt to use a safer paint that requires our crew be onsite longer.
  4. Investment in Work – Hubley Painting is constantly looking to improve our process while maintaining a superior product.  We have invested heavily into our equipment. We use dustless sanding machines on site to prevent dust from spreading throughout the house. We have a meticulous process for setting up plastic containment as another layer of protection from dust, debris and over spray. Your floors, appliances, and countertops are protected with multiple layers of plastic and paper. We also have invested in air assisted spray machines specifically meant to spray cabinetry.  Our equipment allows us to provide a high quality product while protecting you and your home from dust and overspray.  Check with your contractor regarding the equipment they use and the measures they put in place to protect your home.

We would be happy to provide you with some references if you would like to speak to some of our former clients.  Our cabinet painting services is in high-demand these days and we think that speaks volumes to the quality of our work.  We understand that cost is a big part of your decision and we understand if you decide to go with the other company.  We want to make sure our clients are protected from situations like the one described above.

Wrentham Kitchen Renovation

Our Wrentham clients bought their beautiful home several years ago.  They loved almost everything about the home.  The pool. The front porch. The space.  And the neighborhood which was perfect for their family.  But the kitchen left a lot to be desired.  The clients wanted to make the space more functional as well as lighter and more contemporary so they called Hubley Painting and Carpentry.

The Kitchen

It is amazing the difference paint can make in a space.  The kitchen is so much lighter and brighter now that the cabinets and walls have been painted. Crown molding was added to the top of the upper cabinets to give the space a more grander feeling.  New doors were ordered in shaker style to update the look as well.

The Island

The island saw quite a transformation.  Alex, our carpenter extended it in both directions adding decorative corbels for character.  The extension created a larger prep space and allowed for more seating.  The island cabinets were re-purposed to house a microwave and coffee maker freeing up space on the counters.

Farmhouse Sink

The clients wanted a farmers sink in their new space.  Alex reconfigured the old cabinet base to fit the new sink.  The space was measured and new doors were made to fit the new opening.

The Stove

The cooktop was small and dated so our clients decided to upgrade to a beautiful range.  Alex made room for the larger unit by taking an upper cabinet on either side of the original stovetop and vent.  The lower cabinets were also altered to fit the range.  The cabinet to the left of the stove was significantly decreased in size.  With the small space left, Alex created a pull out spice rack.  To the right of the stove, the double door cabinet was turned into a single door cabinet and the drawer was reduced in size as well.   Our tile contractor created a beautiful tile focal piece above the stove which pulls in all the colors of the kitchen so well.

The Refrigerator Wall

There were two banks of cabinetry on the opposite wall in the kitchen with a small doorway in between leading to foyer and family room.  With the oven now part of the range, more space was freed up on the wall to make room for a larger refrigerator.  The homeowners felt they had plenty of storage space and opted to remove the second bank of cabinets and enlarge the opening to the kitchen.  The cabinet bases were re-purposed to transform this area.

The Wet Bar

This area was not being used to its full potential in the old kitchen space.  A few simple changes transformed the desk space into a beautiful and functional wet bar.  The upper cabinets stayed the same with the exception of new, beautiful pane glass doors.  Lightening was also added to illuminate the glassware and highlight the space.  The lower cabinets were slightly enlarged to snugly fit the wine fridge.

The Breakfast Nook

The breakfast nook in our client’s kitchen was a perfect space for the family to gather for meals.  The built in window seat had varying heights so Alex rebuilt it to be one long continuous bench with drawers for additional kitchen storage.  The wainscoting was also updated from beadboard to shaker style for a clean, modern look.

The Hubley Team is so pleased our clients love their new kitchen space.  If you are looking to transform your kitchen space, give us a call today.
