We wanted to share the famed ‘After’ photos from this total kitchen, laundry room, and entry way transformation project!
Black Magic really steals the show!
Thursday, December 5th: Hello and Happy December!
Today is the crews’ final day — filled with completing paint touch ups, finalizing hardware install, and clean up. It has been our pleasure to be a part of this project and we can’t wait to see the final look. Here are a few sneak peaks of the infamous ‘Black Magic’ kitchen. Thanks for following along!
Wednesday, November 27th: Good morning!
We’ve got one more work day until we can rest and relax with family and friends for the Thanksgiving holiday! The crew is busy busy at this home today — they are completing some wall prep, touch ups and painting today on the main level. More pictures of the beautiful kitchen, which is ‘Back in Black‘ or more like ‘Black Magic‘ from Sherwin Williams.
Here are a few progress photos for today:
Monday, November 25th: Good morning and happy Monday!
It’s crazy how much can be accomplished in a weekend! The crew has prepped and sprayed the spindles for the staircase, wrapped the kitchen and laundry cabinets, and are taking down the paper and plastic in the kitchen. They’ll be taping off to paint select walls – laundry room and then select areas for touch ups. The crew will also reassemble the kitchen – rehang doors and put the drawers back in as well.
Friday, November 22nd: Hello and TGIF!
The crew is keeping pace with spraying enamel in the kitchen, laundry room, and on the staircase. They have another coat of enamel on the Dark Harbor laundry room cabinets and also the cabinet doors/drawers. They’ll then begin reassembling the kitchen doors and cabinets and then also completing the wall painting.
Have a great weekend and we suspect the space will look differently on Monday!
Thursday, November 21st: Greetings!
The has sprayed the first coat of the black enamel and the next step is to continue to fill in the wood grains and sand before we spray another coat of the black enamel.
The stairs are also making progress with the black handrail being sprayed. Stay tuned for more updates and photos – thanks!
Here are a few more photos from prep work between spraying the enamel coats. The crew will use Bondo to continue to fill in the grains of the cabinets and then sand them down.
Wednesday, November 20th: Good morning!
Here are a few photos from late yesterday afternoon from the crew — we are underway in the kitchen! They are filling the wood grains of the doors, drawers, and cabinet boxes and then sanding it down. Once this step is complete, they’ll spray the first coat of enamel.
The crew is continuing to sand the cabinets and also the entry stairs so they can begin applying a top coat of enamel.
Tuesday, November 19th: Greetings followers!
The crew is working on the entry stairs today and after sharing the kitchen space with the counter top installers, they have resumed their prep on the cabinets.
Monday, November 18th: Good morning!
We hope you all had a great weekend! The Vikings took a crucial win over the LA Rams in the final seconds of the game; however our Golden Gophers couldn’t stop the Hawkeyes and are now 9-1.
The crew has moved to the kitchen, laundry room, and entry stairs for enamel. They’ve applied the primer and will work today to fill in the showing wood graining and then sand and smooth it before they’ll apply the top color – Black Magic for the kitchen, Dark Harbor for the laundry room, and Black Magic on the stairway posts.
Saturday, November 16th: Good morning and happy Saturday!
Big day for the Gophers as they take on their rivals the Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium this afternoon. The Gophers are 9-0 and the Hawkeyes 6-3. Gophers need this win to prove they are among top in the Big 10 West!
The crew has just about completed the trim painting on the upper level and has most areas on the main level prepped- taped off with paper and ready to roll!
They’ll soon begin their prep work in the kitchen as well. Thanks!
Have a great weekend and Go Gophers!!
Thursday, November 14th: Good morning!
The crew is continuing to prep and paint the millwork – baseboards and frames as well as begin to prep for their painting on the stairway – handrail, treads, and risers. They’re completing the upper level millwork first and now are moving to the mail level to continue prepping and brush and rolling the baseboards and frames.
Wednesday, November 13th: Greetings!
The crew has prepped and covered the working areas on the upper level. They’ve covered the carpets and taped off the baseboards and frames to brush and roll the newly installed mill work.
Tuesday, November 12th: Good afternoon!
Thanks for following along. We’ve started another residential painting project in Plymouth and would love to share the project progress here on the blog!
The crew will be brush and rolling the newly replaced baseboard and frames throughout the main and upper levels and enameling the kitchen cabinets as well as the laundry room cabinets.
This is going to be a fun one!! They say white is all the rage, but these homeowners are going with the sleek and chic, Black Magic by Sherwin Williams which will be accented with gold hardware… can we say kitchen envy!?
They’ll also be painting the laundry room cabinets this bold hue of blue – Dark Harbor by Benjamin Moore.
Stay tuned here for progress update and project photos! We’re looking forward to sharing the process and eventually the sharing the famed ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos!
