Services
Cabinet Painting
Professional cabinet painting transforms dated kitchen and bathroom cabinets with custom finishes. Our process includes thorough preparation, stain-blocking primer, and two coats of specialty cabinet paint. We use HVLP spray technology for ultra-smooth results that mimic factory finishes while minimizing disruption to your home.
Wall Treatments
Custom wall treatments enhance interior spaces with unique textures and finishes. We specialize in Venetian plaster and other decorative techniques that add depth and character to walls and ceilings. Each treatment is tailored to complement existing decor while creating striking visual interest in residential spaces.
Custom Murals
Hand-painted custom murals transform ordinary walls into artistic focal points. We create designs ranging from subtle accents to full-room scenes, with options for removable canvas installations. Our artists work closely with clients to develop personalized themes that reflect individual tastes and enhance spatial aesthetics.
Furniture Painting
Custom furniture painting revitalizes worn pieces with durable, stylish finishes. Our team applies specialized techniques to create unique looks that match room decor. From single accent pieces to complete sets, we deliver professional results that extend furniture lifespan while maintaining structural integrity.
Glazed Finishes
Artisan glazed finishes add depth and dimension to cabinetry and furniture. We apply custom-mixed glazes over painted surfaces to create distinctive, hand-crafted effects. This technique allows for complete color customization while maintaining the natural wood grain's visibility for a sophisticated, one-of-a-kind appearance.

I was about to give up when we were referred to Karen's Custom Cabinets in Atascadero. What luck!! Karen and her son were fantastic in helping us to get this completed in a temely manner. The cabinets are gorgeous. Not a day goes by that I don't get a compliment from someone on them. I'm so glad we went ahead and make the change and that karen and her son were in charge.
