    Hey Anna P. I had no idea how close you are to my home now. but moving west of Elk River. ...»
    Thanks for all the comments I have received on this. Due to not seeing the home since the inspection a couple months ago, we will have to wait to get moved in to check on the roughness of the cabinets. He mentioned he would do one drawer to show me how it would look. hehe What if it doesn't work? I might have one odd looking drawer in my kitchen. Will keep everyone updated on the process. So much to do in the next couple days first.

  • The armoire in the corner is from the 1800's...I love the burl wood and will not be painting it.

I plan to upholster the coffee table to create a tufted ottoman.

Painting electric heaters

I just bought a small cottage. The electric heaters along the base boards are a little dates and slightly rusty. Can I paint them? Will the heat affect the paint?
