WHAT IS WATERBORNE ALKYLID?
At our company, we meticulously choose waterborne alkylid paints for our kitchen cabinet projects due to their exceptional qualities. These paints possess the unique ability to harden like oil-based paints, ensuring a durable finish, without the associated drawbacks of messiness, strong odors, and tedious cleanup processes. This strategic selection not only guarantees a high-quality outcome much like the hardened finish you get on manufactured furniture. It also enhances the overall experience for our clients by providing a seamless and efficient painting solution.
SELF LEVELING - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
When it comes to achieving a flawless finish, self-leveling paint emerges as the top choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Both our cabinet and furniture paint formula possess the remarkable ability to smooth out imperfections as they dry and harden, resulting in a perfectly even surface. Say goodbye to visible brush strokes or roller marks, as self-leveling paint effortlessly creates a seamless and professional-looking appearance on walls, ceilings, and various surfaces. Fabulously Flipped will only use self leveling paints on our cabinets,vanities, and furntiure.
WE LOVE SATIN
At Fabulously Flipped, we have a strong preference for the satin finish due to its impeccable appearance. The satin finish strikes the perfect balance by offering just the right amount of sheen without being overly glossy. This choice reflects our commitment to quality and attention to detail in every aspect of our work. We believe that the satin finish not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also brings a touch of elegance to our projects. Join us in embracing this exquisite finish for a flawless result every time.
NO TOP COAT NEEDED
We are thrilled to announce that all our paints are equipped with a durable top coat, ensuring a long-lasting finish for your projects. Our paints are formulated to dry to a hard surface without the need for any additional coatings or curing time beyond the manufacturer's specifications. This innovative feature not only saves time but also guarantees a professional and durable outcome for your painting endeavors.

* additional top coats may come in the form of stain & finishing oils or waxes tailored to help you achieve a specific look on your furniture refreshes.

Why have your kitchen cabinets painted vs. replaced?
June 1, 2024
READY FOR A NEW KITCHEN LOOK
Are you looking to revamp your kitchen and give it a fresh new look? One of the most cost-effective and transformative ways to update your space is by painting your kitchen cabinets. By opting for a paint refresh, you can completely change the look and feel of your kitchen without having to undergo a full renovation. When it comes to replacing kitchen cabinets, it's important to be prepared for some level of mess.
SAVE MONEY
Painting your kitchen cabinets can be an efficient way to give your kitchen a fresh new look without the hassle of construction or the high expenses (sometimes savings of 70%) of installing new cabinets. We recently transformed a kitchen with paint for a fraction of the cost of the $23,000 they were quoted to replace. That is a huge differnce in your pocketbook. Clients have money freed up from their kitchen update budget for new lighting, new countertops, new sinks, etc... Ultimately, being able to afford the kitchen of their dreams.
SAVE MESS
When it comes to replacing kitchen cabinets, it's important to be prepared for some level of mess. The process typically involves removing the existing cabinets, which can result in dust, debris, and potential disruptions to your daily routine. You will need to cover your floors and furniture with protective materials, usually on the entire floor where your kitchen is located,sealing off entire kitchen area, and communicate with your contractor about clean-up expectations.
CUSTOMIZATION
This process not only saves you time and money but also allows you to customize the color of your cabinets to suit your personal preferences. The options available for kitchen cabinet paint go far beyond what is offered by factories. You have a wide range of colors to choose from, allowing you to customize your kitchen to your liking. We use Benjamin Moore Advance which is available in 3,500 shades.
SAVING THE PLANET
Additionally, painting your cabinets is a more eco-friendly option as it reduces waste by reusing existing materials. In fact—every traditional kitchen remodel with all new cabinetry means that all of that demolished material goes right into the landfill as garbage that goes back into our earth. Reduce the upwards of 13 million tons (8% of landfill waste is wood items with painted kitchen cabinets.
Whether you want to brighten up the room with a crisp white finish, add a pop of color for a modern touch, or go for a classic and timeless look with a neutral tone, painting your cabinets can make a significant impact. Not only does it enhance the aesthetic appeal of your kitchen, but it also adds value to your home. So, say goodbye to outdated cabinets and hello to a stylish and refreshed kitchen with a simple paint upgrade!
