I have a few questions. How tall are your ceilings? How tall are your cabinets? And what a the demnsions of the window over your sink. brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419864016454222296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844610358986715331.post-15359821574235121512014-12-20T23:47:47.619-06:002014-12-20T23:47:47.619-06:00Hello!

We are actually getting bids now for the rest of the woodwork all over the house. My best advice is to hire a quality painter that has references. They need to have experience with lacquer. You will get the best results having the cabinet sprayed (I prefer a smooth finish to a brushed finish). It might run you between $300-500 depending on the size of the piece. There are primers that are made to bond with oil based paints. I hope this helps. Painting woodwork, in my opinion, is not the easiest task. Although, DimplesandTangles.blogspot.com just painted her entire kitchen herself using a sprayer. You might touch base with her too! xox, EmilyElevenGableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689814433811725500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844610358986715331.post-81125743689338736332014-12-20T13:55:37.478-06:002014-12-20T13:55:37.478-06:00We have a very similar family room/kitchen combo c...We have a very similar family room/kitchen combo complete with black built in bookshelves in the family room. How much prep work was involved in painting the family room built ins? My husband is trying to convince me that painting these black built ins will involve an enormous amount of prep work (they are painted with oil based black paint) and if I just prime and paint, they will not hold up well. Just curious as to your experience. I love how the white really opened and brightened both areas!

This is my dream, after living in a beautiful home that was built by someone else, to design the kitchen in our current home (a work in progress) to suite the needs of OUR family. I love how you were there for every detail, down to where everything would be stored. The new design is lovely and it must have been so gratifying to see all your visions come together!Lisa @ Shine Your Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301618725406172528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844610358986715331.post-7362995388331209012014-04-11T09:55:15.200-05:002014-04-11T09:55:15.200-05:00Oh my goodness!
