What a cave it must have been. We discovered this when we were painting the entire place vanilla ice cream color (which is just as easy to OD on too), as the baseboards hadn't been removed. We were painting it vanilla for like the 5th time in a row, and finally managed to get rid of the peculiar undertones each room had. I would say that you have done an excellent job. As for the kitchen cabinets, when you get rid of your tile, take down all the doors and spray paint them with that plastics-only primer. Then give 'em a shot of whatever color you are in the mood for, even a faux woodgrain, which is suuuuuper easy. Ask me how I know.:-)<BR/>Great Job, Maggie!<BR/>Piece,<BR/>Rain in NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13375959.post-13956970894286895202007-07-29T17:31:00.000-04:002007-07-29T17:31:00.000-04:00I didn't like the tiles in my powder room and didn...I didn't like the tiles in my powder room and didn't want to rip them out -- too much work. Did a little research and found a primer to roll over them then painted the room a very pale green (think 1 or 2 drops of color in a gallon of paint). That was atleast 5 years ago and it still looks good -- no chipping at all. One day I'll get around to doing this to the equally ugly tile in my kitchen.<BR/>Good luck with the rest of your painting.Helen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413109845173254769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13375959.post-22097197103903058992007-07-29T16:07:00.000-04:002007-07-29T16:07:00.000-04:00SO weird...remember that 1906 house I told you abo...SO weird...remember that 1906 house I told you about? The previous owners had installed the EXACT same kitchen cabinets! I hate to tell you that we determined there was NOTHING to be done about them...jujhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297173587055224228noreply@blogger.com
