Our door jams are 8" thick! That was definitely a great surprise! <br />We are planning on painting the kitchen, maybe this winter? It's going to be a huge task. Just trying to keep the kids out of there will be a nightmare! I'll definitely check out the site, thank you!<br /><br />I am the queen of cheap!Scribs Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17226229755267227844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4824435979530327538.post-37754525902601098182015-03-26T20:17:21.879-07:002015-03-26T20:17:21.879-07:00It's funny what you find in old houses. We we...It's funny what you find in old houses. We were going to take the floral paneling off of our living room walls and paint the plaster underneath, but what we found was a layer of plaster that had a 6 inch gap between it and the floor, then another layer of fabric wall paper, then shiplap siding. So we just left it like it was and painted the top layer of panelling. It wasn't so bad because they had nice trim and chair rail on top of it. That was like 8 years ago. Now we've started sprucing up our kitchen and I can testify that paint makes a huge difference. Just changing from yellow to white paint and adding white paint to the cabinets has doubled the amount of light in the room! <br />A website we used for inspiration for kitchen/ dining lighting was barnlightelectric.com, but we're kind of cheap, so we're going to try to make our own version of one of their chandeliers.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488626150901992145noreply@blogger.com
