Kitchen, Bathroom & Laundry Room Cabinet Painting in Cape Coral
These homeowners already had beautiful cabinets, but the dark finish no longer matched their style. Apex Painting Group refreshed the cabinetry throughout their Southwest Cape Coral home with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster SW 7008 in satin, giving them a fresh canvas without a full remodel.
Project: Kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room cabinets
Location: Southwest Cape Coral, FL 33914
Color: Alabaster SW 7008
Finish: Satin
Timeline: Four to five days
Completed: September 2026
Keeping Quality Cabinets and Changing the Look
The homeowners wanted new colors throughout their home, but replacing the cabinetry was not their goal. Their existing cabinets were worth keeping; it was the dated, dark finish that no longer felt right.
Instead of moving forward with a full remodel, they chose cabinet painting for the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room. The project focused on updating the cabinetry they already liked with a lighter finish that better suited their style.
Project manager Tom Doman oversaw the work, which was completed over four to five days in September 2026.
The Preparation Behind the Cabinet Transformation
Apex Painting Group's cabinet painters prepared the existing surfaces before applying the new finish. Sanding, filling nail holes, and priming were part of the preparation for this project.
Surface Sanding
The cabinet surfaces were sanded to prepare the existing finish for the next stages of the painting process.
Filling and Priming
Nail holes were filled and surfaces were primed to create a prepared foundation for the new cabinet color.
Alabaster Satin Finish
Sherwin-Williams Alabaster SW 7008 in satin replaced the dark look with a lighter finish across the home's cabinetry.

The project retained the existing cabinetry while changing its appearance. Once complete, the lighter cabinets gave the homeowners a new starting point for styling their kitchen.
From Dark Wood to Alabaster
The bathroom vanity photos show the change from dark cabinetry to a light painted finish while retaining the existing cabinet layout and countertop.
A Lighter Look for the Vanity and Makeup Area
Painting carried the updated cabinet color into this bathroom vanity and its adjoining makeup area, creating a consistent look across the doors, drawers, and cabinet frame.
Alabaster SW 7008 in Satin
Sherwin-Williams Alabaster SW 7008 was the selected color for this cabinet painting project. Its soft white appearance changed the feel of the cabinetry without requiring the homeowners to replace it.
In the kitchen, the painted cabinets sit alongside the existing stainless steel appliances and tile backsplash. In the bathrooms, the same color brings a lighter look to the vanity doors and drawers.
A Fresh Canvas Throughout the Home
Updating the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room cabinets gave the homeowners the change they wanted while keeping their existing cabinetry. The new finish moved the home away from the dark cabinet style they had outgrown.
The homeowners were very happy with the result and said their space felt much bigger. With the cabinets refreshed, they felt they had a fresh canvas to style their home.
