The kitchen cupboards are coming along.

I've painted all the trim and most of the doors. I had a problem with the doors turning out slightly yellow, which didn't really matter UNTIL I put them up next to the trim and then it just looked wrong. We think it was because we stripped the doors down to the wood, but did not strip the trim, and somehow after 1 coat of primer and 5 coats of paint, the wood color was still seeping through. I ran out of paint anyways so we got a new brand, and repainted one coat on the yellowed doors and then they looked fine. Since we had a bunch more doors stripped already, I just used about 3 coats of primer on them and then painted them. They are still drying so I don't know if they will be white white or yellow white yet, lol. The bottom sets of doors and drawers we decided not to strip, just to sand the edges to give them a cleaner look. The doors have all been painted now, and just the drawers are left to sand and paint. Hopefully tomorrow will be the end of kitchen painting.

We'd like to get the house listed soon, so once the kitchen is done we can paint the ceilings in the front and back porches. Before we moved in they must have had some water leakage problems. I remember when we bought the house the shingles were only a year or so old, so that was probably when they fixed the leaks. We never had any leakage at all, thank goodness, but we do have the water stains from the leaks. The real estate agent we had over a couple weeks ago thought we should paint the ceilings so it doesn't look like there is a leakage problem. I wonder if we can just paint the water stains or if that will look funny, or if people looking would even notice even if it did look funny? Hmmmm.
