it looks lovely Sarah!! Job well done!!
Yeah Kim has got huge ceilings!! We have high ceilings here (most houses before the 60's had high ceilings) but with a long arm roller hubby could do the ceiling and if he climbed up to almost top rung he could do the cornices we have (luckily hubby is 6ft tall!!)

Nicole- Your frames and vases are beautiful!
Sarah- our master bathroom is a similar brown color (Grandma's Fudge by Martin Senor) and I just love it. We have blue & white with ours, but I like the red and gold with it, too. Great choice!

It's going to take at least three coats of white over that wood (probably should have used primer, but oh well, hubby didn't get that, he just got paint...we have an older can from the previous people that owned the house that I can use as a base primer coat on the paneling on the lower walls). [/color]
If your white is oil based and the cabinets are clean, you probably won't have any problems. If your cabinets are clean and the lumber was dried properly (if they are new) or painted with water-based paint previously (if they are existing,) you won't have trouble with water-based. The main reason for priming wood is to keep the sap and oils naturally occurring in wood from telescoping through or to neutralize the color with a cheaper product (primer costs less than paint.)

Ryanne- I love your TV stand! Our dining room in our apartment looked just like your, with the table and microwave stand. It took me back to some good memories.

Another reason for priming (on unfinished wood) is because it then lifts the fibers of the wood and seals it so that it can be sanded smoothly...primer isn't as "wet" as regular paint, so if you use just regular paint on something (without sanding the bottom coat) it won't feel very smooth. Primer makes it smooth without (mostly) having to sand again.
Thanks for the education! I didn't realize that.
