I have 1980’s kitchen cabinets in pretty good shape. There is a wood frame like molding about 1 1/4 inches all the way around from the edge of each door. Have you seen just the inner part of the door face painted leaving everything else wood?
I need a very inexpensive way to update the kitchen cabinets.

Would you recommend painting 1980’s interior doors white like you see in new construction?

I really enjoyed the improvements, especially the dry wall over the brick fireplace. i want to do that. What was the paste you used to fasten the drywall to the brick, was that joint compound. Also, I believe you used concrete fasteners to start the boards on the brick.
I will probably do all the things on that show to improve the look and value of my home.
Thanks, Rob

I was wondering: is there an automatic shut-off for the icemaker water line?

We recently lost our refrigerator due to severe overflow and will be having our floor replaced soon from the same incident.

Carol, I have to ask, why would you want to paint over them? You’re probably better off covering them with another surface or, better yet, refinish them. Inside, I simply don’t recommend painting wood floors. You have to use a polyurethane paint and the only real options are for exterior use, unless some new products have hit the market, so the color choices aren’t the best, especially for inside. Either way, you have to make sure you have plenty of ventilation and stay off the floors 24-48 hours.

This is the first time I saw your program and was totally impressed. I love crown molding and will certainly try this method. Thanks for all the helpful tips!
