Our old pine cabinets were repaired, painted white, and they made wonderful suggestions to update the cabinets as well. They recommended great new hardware and new trims that really improved the look of our kitchen. I would definitely recommend Fahey Decorating to anyone. Their work is very high quality, and they are very easy to work with. **★★★★★ — margaret benvenuto, Sept. 2017** > Fahey Decorating did a awesome project in my kitchen.

Loved the project from beginning to end. **★★★★★ — carolldesigncompany, May 2016** > We have hired Fahey Decorating for different projects, over the years. We have always been pleased with their impeccable work. They are very professional, yet personable. We appreciate the personal care they give to every job. Fahey Decorating is our first choice for our painting needs. **★★★★★ — vadams1858, Feb. 2016** > Fahey Decorating just finished my painting/staining project and it completely transformed my home. Bill Fahey's design ideas created results that exceeded my expectations. > > The Fahey team was responsive, courteous and a pleasure to have in my home. Bill completed my project quicker than expected and left my home magazine worthy. > > I highly recommend Fahey Decorating and will definitely hire them again. **★★★★★ — HU-382632, Feb. 2016** > We needed our kitchen cabinets painted white to put our home on the market, and Fahey Decorating was recommended to us. We have redone every room in our 5,800 square foot house, and of all the venders we have used over the years, the team from Fahey Decorating was the best choice we ever made. Their work is superlative and the attention to detail is unmatched. The price they quoted was the most reasonable of all the others we received, and the final cost was exactly that number. It was a large job, but they finished on the exact day they predicted. The result was so spectacular, our cabinets looked like they were purchased in white instead of repainted. The painters showed up every day and were polite and gracious, a pleasure to have in our home. I recommend Fahey Decorating with great enthusiasm and without reservation. **★★★★★ — Sublime Homes, Jan. 2016** > I have had Bill and Alex complete many successful projects over the years. (They are such a pleasure to work with!) Their attention to detail and responsiveness has surpassed my clients and my expectations. They do not take shortcuts and the finished project is of high quality. I would not hesitate to recommend them and will hire them again! **★★★★★ — Selma Schohn, Nov. 2015** > Bill and Alex of Fahey Decorating are exceptional! I began working with them on a kitchen remodel 14 years ago where they painted my new kitchen cabinets on site. I called upon them again during a recent major remodeling project and they did not disappoint. They are professional, reliable, possess high quality standards, consistently strive for excellence and are true experts in their field. I particularly appreciate the perfectionist approach and artistic flair they bring to their profession. Additionally, they constantly keep abreast of new trends in their field. As an example, Bill recommended using a new staining technique for updating the family room entertainment center and the results are spectacular! I anticipate using Fahey Decorating for life and highly recommend them for any job demanding outstanding results. **★★★★★ — adeletestore, Sept. 2015** > I have used Fahey Decorating twice and each time I was impressed with the professionalism and the simplicity with which they worked. Their work, especially their attention to detail, was impeccable. They will be my first call when next I need painting. I highly recommend them. > Adele Testore **★★★★★ — Edward Deegan Architects, Aug. 2015** > Edward Deegan Architects has been highly satisfied with the work done by Fahey Decorating and have used them for several of our high end residential new construction and renovation clients. Fahey Decorating says that they take pride in our attention to detail and strive to put out the highest quality work using the finest paints and materials - and they do. We confidently recommend them. ## Selected projects - [Lake Forest Cape Cod](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-forest-cape-cod-pj-vj~1601035) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Lincoln Park Cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-park-cabinetry-pj-vj~929501) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [River Forest Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-forest-kitchen-pj-vj~929633) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Gilding](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gilding-pj-vj~1230323) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Lake Forest Estate House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-forest-estate-house-pj-vj~2693485) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/paint-and-wall-covering-dealers/fahey-decorating-pfvwus-pf~1226151323) ## Ideabooks - [Tile and stone](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/62708307/list/tile-and-stone) — 2 ideas - [White palatte](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52312968/list/white-palatte) — 1 idea [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/faheydecorating) ## Community Q&A **Q: where did the straps for handles come from** *(in Photo Questions)* leather straps for where they come from..

A: Yes - the countertops are marble and in a honed finish. **Q: Lighting** *(in Photo Questions)* I'd love to know where the fixture is from -- thank you! A: Hi!

Our company only painted the cabinetry, however I did contact the designer involved with the project. She confirmed that she did not provide the bench - it belonged to the client already. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-05.*
