Painting: What is the proper way to paint my cabinets white.

I don't know if they are wood, they are old and off-white with a wood trim. Suggestions?

Commented on Jul 29, 2011
I second that suggestion. It is really touch to match all of that up after the fact.

I just wanted to share my good news with you!

I invented a different type of tape measure and I have been trying to bring it to the market for over 13 years. I just recently licensed it to a company called Century Drill and they called to give me awesome news that my tape won an award for innovative tools. I would really appreciate you viewing my demo video showing what it does. Here is the link. P.S If anyone ever needs free advice on getting a patent or bringing it to the market. I would gladly help!

Thanks!!

Design & Décor: Kitchen design ideas needed!

In the breakfast area I would recover the chairs in a new fabric. Something durable that is ...»
treated for stain resistance. So many fabrics to choose from I can't make a suggestion at the moment. Maybe something with an interesting geometric print. The window treatments are dated. If you are painting the kitchen cabinets white, I would install White, Faux wood 2" slat blinds on the windows. They look a bit like plantation shutters and are approx. $28.00 a window. Lowe's has a great selection. Easy to install. Why is the table cloth on the table? If the table is in poor condition consider painting it a coordinating color. Wood chairs with a painted round table look awesome. Dorothy Durbin, Interior Designer. P.S. Let me know how the redo is coming along. Thanks!
