Our studio

Classic Cupboards™ is our family business. We have a home-based cabinet refinishing studio located southeast of Columbus, Ohio way out in the country in the little town of Ashville.

We give kitchen cabinets a long and happy life by painting our durable Classic Cupboards™ finishes.

In 2003 our daughter, Chloe, inspired us to start our own design business so we could work from home and have our little girl by our side.

Combining our professions in product and furniture design, finishes development and manufacturing, architecture, and interior design, we began building an interior design business providing home decorating and design consultations, painting wall finishes and furniture, and creating custom home decor.

Wanting to offer kitchen cabinet painting as an additional service, we began the search for a durable cabinet paint that also filled oak grain. Surprisingly, we couldn’t find a single refinishing or resurfacing paint product on the market that could do just that.

With backgrounds in product design and furniture finishes and development, we ended up formulating our own paint—honestly not something we set out to do from the start! Not realizing our Classic Cupboards Paint™ was just the beginning, we also had to develop our own sealers, cabinet wax, application tools and highly specialized cabinet refinishing process.

Sometimes life just picks your path.

Many years and lots of painted kitchen cabinets later our Classic Cupboards Paint™ finishes have stood the test of time.

You can still see our happy little family working together as a team, each sharing our own area of expertise, continuing to paint one kitchen after another.
