Do I need to re-formulate/re-think my door stain plan?
Comments (6)Busybme, you were the first one who chimed in when I first joined here and you photoshopped some proposed changes for a kitchen facelift - and in between then and now it went from simple little changes to a full reno! The perimeter and the island are both going to be in the birch, and the painted pieces will be a hutch and a display bookshelf cabinet. Anybody else have input? Since there wasn't much input, should I be taking that as a bad sign? I know my kitchen doesn't fit what most people on the forum are creating, but hopefully it will at least be well-appointed enough in the end that even those with different tastes can say, "I like it - but in your kitchen" :-). Here is the proposed render working with software limitations. The pendants are missing and the window is bumped out 6" facing right: facing left:...See MoreColor Changing Ceiling Paint
Comments (10)Hi John, I kinda smiled when I read your post! I'm guessing your ceiling is the "popcorn" variety: Actually it's not the "fading-paint" that's the problem here...there's about 3 things simultaneously... * I work at a pretty busy ACE store, and we sell a lot of ACE'S "Simply Magic" blue-tinted ceiling paint that fades to white after a couple days. * ACE was the first Co. to come out with the photo-reactive dye for ceilings about 3 yrs. ago. * Most of these paints are a companies' upper-tier quality level...it's not a low quality issue. 1st: You had many areas you touched up differently, so there isn't a uniform layer. 2nd: Flat sheen, unprimed ceilings are notoriously porous. This alone causes half of your problem. 3rd: The last "entire-surface" coat just compounded the previous 2 varying coats. Remedy... * Use Zinsser's Odorless Oil primer. This won't "pull"-off existing popcorn like latex primers can. * Use a "slit-foam" roller-cover if popcorn ceiling. Rinse fuzz out b4 using. * Apply the "fading" paint north to south, then east to west. Use long strokes. * Alternatively, first coat N-S....second coat E-W. This should work!

Comments (10)Thank you. I’m waiting for pre fab cabinets to arrive for the kitchenette. It’s just base cabinets because the plan is to have 2 open shelves above (the ceilings are low). Now that I’ve accepted that I need a white im having a really hard time picking one since I don’t know if it’ll match with the pire white cabinets. Im thinking I need an off white so that the white cabinet and white subway tile will pop. Im considering Acadia white. Now im in the world of mixing whites and it’s not fun!!...See MoreLandscape ideas and should I change paint colour….challenge have brown
