By the time you are done, green will be back in style.... <BR/><BR/>We bought this house because of the location and we liked the style. Coming from families of home project fanatics, we were excited (young) about making it "our home". The kitchen countertop was originally baby-shit brown. We got rid of that right away.ReformingGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990465686765948682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-38645972375150907462008-11-18T20:15:00.000-06:002008-11-18T20:15:00.000-06:00I am in the midst of a kitchen remodel.

So it's much bigger, but like you, I am in charge of painting. First I have to strip off the white paint I put over the old green VARNISHED cabinets because I never sanded first. I bought a house that was painted avocado green in every freakin' room. If it was wood, it was green, right down to the window grills as well as kitchen/bathroom cabinets. A little over SEVEN years later, every ceiling, every bit of wood and every wall in every room has been de-greened, except one half-bath. Location, location, location makes up for the time warp house. At least that's what I tell myself.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550767558199877208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-11416971754235435222008-11-18T18:51:00.000-06:002008-11-18T18:51:00.000-06:00I'm still shuddering.

Ours' being a new house I hope we are a long ways from such projects.<BR/><BR/>I do know that when assembling furniture there will always be one bad thread, male or female,whichever is harder to fix.Machinisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823033143224574421noreply@blogger.com
