You heard it here..."I love painting wood." I know that some of you are cringing, but I don't care. If I don't like it, I will paint the shit out of it.
I showed a student of mine, Ben, pics of our new house and told him I was planning on painting the kitchen cabinets. Ben is 21 and a dude, and he said "What? You can't paint wood, even I know that." Seriously! I mentor them in their student development and am now forced to teach them how to jazz up their ugly ass hand me down furniture.
Sneak Peak: The House's Kitchen Cabinets
There are people willing to paint a lot of things...
Their bodies..in public
Their toenails
Their cars
Even their pets
Heaven forbid they give a coat of paint to their 1980's wood nightstand.
I found this treasure at a garage sale...already painted...my lucky day!

Anyone fishing your paint brush out of the junk drawer? Anyone?
I generally agree with your student. Painted wood sometimes makes me sad. But first of all, I hate light wood. Those cabinets looks like pink stained wood with gold hardware. Ug. Second, I love love love your decorating taste, Nikki. I have no doubt that your kitchen is going to be darling! Let me know if you need another member on your painting crew!
ReplyDeleteDon't paint the cabinets. Maybe a stain, but don't paint. The only way I will let you paint those is if you spray them with an oil based enamel. Brush strokes and drips are forever.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I am not going to paint them...Henry is:)
