Dual-Tone Dream: How Ivory and Green Gave These Cabinets a New Life

Is your kitchen stuck in the past with worn-out, lifeless cabinets? You’re not alone. One of the fastest—and most transformative—ways to update your kitchen without a full remodel is by refreshing the cabinets with a beautiful, modern paint job. In this project spotlight, we’re taking you behind the scenes of a dramatic cabinet transformation featuring a timeless ivory paired with a rich, earthy green. The result? A space that’s both inviting and elevated.

Out with the Old

This homeowner came to us with tired, builder-grade wood cabinets that had seen better days. While functional, the look was dark, dated, and made the kitchen feel smaller and less welcoming. Rather than tearing everything out, they chose a smarter route: cabinet painting. Not only is it more cost-effective, but it also allows for a completely custom color palette—and less disruption to daily life.

A Perfect Pairing: Ivory & Green

We helped the homeowner select a soft, creamy ivory for the upper cabinets to open up the space and reflect more natural light. For the lower cabinets and the island, we went with a bold yet classic green—grounded, organic, and on-trend. This two-tone combo creates contrast, depth, and a designer feel that makes the whole kitchen pop.

Our Process

At Lancaster Painting, our cabinet painting process is clean, efficient, and detail-focused:

• We remove all doors and drawers and paint them in our custom mobile spray trailer (no mess in your home).
• We prep, sand, and professionally spray the cabinet boxes onsite with precision.
• We use top-of-the-line coatings that provide a smooth, durable, and long-lasting finish.
• The entire process is usually completed within a few days.

The Result? A Total Glow-Up.

This kitchen went from dated to dreamy. The ivory upper cabinets brighten the space, while the green base adds a touch of personality and charm. Hardware was updated for a more modern touch, and the whole room now feels cohesive, calm, and current.
