Custom cabinets were installed unfinished, then primed and painted Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue across boxes, doors, island and hood. White counters, stainless appliances and wood floors completed the look.
Cabinets were installed in bare wood, then primed and painted in place using Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue.
Doors and drawer fronts were painted off the boxes while cabinet frames and interiors were painted in situ to create a continuous blue composition.
White countertops, stainless-steel appliances, warm wood flooring and dark ceiling beams were used to contrast and balance the deep blue cabinetry.
# Summary This brief describes the transformation of the Blaine Lake House kitchen as documented by Instagram creator @modern_ozarks and reported by Homedit. The project started with custom cabinetry installed in bare wood. After installation the contractor primed and painted every visible surface Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue, including the island, range hood and cabinet interiors. The finished kitchen pairs the blue cabinetry with white counters, stainless-steel appliances, warm wood floors and exposed dark ceiling beams.

Rather than arriving prefinished, the wood remained exposed long enough to show how full installation defines the kitchen's layout. Painting after installation made separate cabinet runs read as one continuous surface in color, visually unifying the room.

# Sequence of work (as documented)
# Practical takeaways for homeowners
# Final visual effect Once painting and surfacing were complete, the range wall, island and tall storage read as a single, deep-blue composition capped by white counters. The exposed ceiling beams and wood flooring provide contrast and keep the space grounded.
Dark cherry cabinets covered the kitchen from the range wall to the sink, with more of the same finish across the island and a tall cabinet wall outside the main work zone.

Wood cabinets filled both levels of this kitchen, extending from the sink and peninsula to the tall pantry and refrigerator surround.

Oak cabinets covered both sides of this kitchen, wrapping around the range, sink, refrigerator, and window. Raised-panel doors and visible wood grain carried the same honey-brown finish from the base cabinets to the uppers.

Solid wood cabinetry filled this kitchen with inset doors, exposed hinges, fluted columns, paneled sections, and trim, but much of that detail blended into the natural wood finish. Replacing cabinets built with this much detail would also mean losing the original craftsmanship that made them worth keeping. Instagram cr
This Kirkland, Washington, family of four loves to cook and entertain, but their classic 1970s split-level home wasn’t making it easy. The kitchen’s dark, basic cabinetry; small, crowded island; and adjacent laundry room left little space for cooking, gathering or connecting with the backyard. ...
