Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Transform outdated kitchens with hand-painted cabinets using premium, eco-friendly paints. Our process includes meticulous preparation, oil-based primers, and alkyd topcoats for durability. We specialise in solid wood, laminate, and varnished surfaces, offering colour-matching services for bespoke finishes. Serving Yorkshire, we deliver showroom-quality results without the disruption of replacement.
Furniture Painting
Revive tired furniture with bespoke hand-painted finishes, including shabby chic, faux effects, and distressing. We handle solid wood, MDF, and lacquered surfaces, offering off-site painting to minimise disruption. Our techniques ensure durable, wipeable finishes that blend seamlessly with your decor, extending the life of cherished pieces.
Decorative Faux Finish Painting
Create realistic marble, stone, or wood illusions on walls and furniture. Ideal for restoration or design features, our techniques mimic natural materials with precision. Services include trompe l'oeil, wood graining, and stone effects, tailored to residential and commercial spaces across Yorkshire.
Mural Painting
Custom hand-painted murals for children's rooms, homes, and businesses. We design bespoke scenes on walls or canvases, offering themes from whimsical to classical. Projects include nursery murals, accent walls, and themed rooms, with options for removable installations.
Specialist Paint Effects
Elevate interiors with layered glazes and specialist systems for metallic, pearlescent, or broken-colour effects. Suitable for walls and furniture, these finishes add depth and character while masking imperfections. Techniques include linens, silks, and textured coatings for contemporary or rustic aesthetics.

Report
Lee gave me expert opinion, was extremely helpful and offered useful guidelines for me to renovate an old victorian fireplace. Although I live in Ireland he could not have done more for me - was a pleasure to deal with and judging by his work I would not hesitate in recommending him. Visit his website to see examples of his work - "it would make your mouth water".
