In the shop
Walking into the shop, working on two large bedroom sets. The first one has a long dresser, two night stands, a 6 foot tall king headboard with rails and a footboard. the headboard is huge and heavy. Then we have an oak set I just sprayed in Iron Ore, this is a king set that is large with two tower bookshelves on either side of a bookcase headboard, tall dresser and a long dresser with a three piece mirror.

Dramatic difference
We took this older looking kitchen and created a space inviting and light to enjoy meals and family. The main cabinets are SW Alabaster and the island along with the bar area (not shown) are accessible beige, both Sherwin Williams Colors. We started with the cinnamon brown cabinets you see in the video and ended with a beautiful, bright and inviting place to entertain.

Painted the back side of cabinet doors.
In the shop painted the back side of some cabinet doors and drawer faces, they are looking super nice. Next up the fronts and then onto hanging doors and finishing up this kitchen in Prestancia, Sarasota. Most are Alabaster from Sherwin Williams but the darker ones are for the island and bar area and they are Accessible Beige, another Sherwin color.

Spraying cabinets with a $60 spray gun
I bought this $60 spray gun from Amazon to see how the gun atomizes the paint compared to my Graco PC Contractor gun. Spraying through my Titan ED655 and using a Graco tip guard and 308 FFLP tip, I am pleasantly surprised how good this sprays. Spraying at about 1650 psi like I do with my Graco gun and it atomizes perfectly, the pattern is nice with no tails or missing areas and It feels very comfortable in my hand. This gun is worth a look if you need something and do not

My spray pattern on cabinet painting
Spraying two coats of Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane 7008 alabaster. Using my Titan ED 655 paired with a Graco Contractor PC gun and a 308 FFLP tip @ 1600 psi +/- for a beautiful finish, this sprayer, gun and tip combo works perfect for cabinet painting. I have been spraying EU on cabinets for years and never a single paint failure, this paint is super tough and stands up to normal everyday kitchen use.

Unboxing a $60.00 airless spray gun
I ordered this $60.00 spray gun from Amazon to try it out, I was curious how would compare to my Graco Contractor PC gun, so today just unboxing and cleaning it up so I can spray with it. Handling the gun is seems just like a Titan spray gun in every way, about the same weight, mostly metal, has a comfortable feel in the hand. I do like the short trigger although not a huge deal and I will use the Graco tip guard with the FFPL tips I usually use.

How I fill holes on cabinet drawer fronts
Today I am filling holes on these cabinet drawer fronts, they are going with a large hole pattern just on the drawers. First I drill the hole slightly large then it is not with a drill bit fit to the size of the dowel I use. Quick note, drilling from the front side prevents any splintering which can happen when the drill pokes through the other side unless you have something backing it. I roll the dowel in a little wood glue and tape it into the hole from the backside, I

What a kitchen and check out that table!
Just dropped of this table, which was the finishing touch and last element in this beautiful kitchen we refinished in Waterlefe River Club, Bradenton. We painted these beautiful cabinets SW Natural Linen and the island went SW Porpoise 7047, and we topped that off with the table in SW seal salt. Silky smooth feel with lasting durability, the perfect combination for the perfect look. Call, text 941-266-0900 or click my website link for lots more information and a free consul

Kitchen transformation
Just hung these doors to finish this two-tone kitchen up in Palma Sola, Florida.

We sprayed with Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane satin sheen for a beautiful, silky-smooth finish. Flawless f

Priming kitchen cabinets
Just finished priming these kitchen cabinets here in Bradenton, they started out a golden brownish color. Everything but the Island is going Natural Linen, and the Island is going Porpoise, both are Sherwin William colors. Pretty easy cabinet frames to paint, they are full overlay and European type frames, so it goes quick, except for that wine rack.. hate those things. I always try to remove a wine rack, glass rack and or plate racks if they come out easy, clearly this one
