Painting foil wrapped kitchen cabinets

Posted under Decorators & Designers, Kitchen Remodeling, Painting & Staining, Questions and Answers on Monday, March 8

My kitchen cabinets are white and foil wrapped and for the most part in very good condition.. There are a few places where the foil wrapping has worn away and the wood underneath is exposed. Is it possible to paint over foil wrap and/or can I somehow patch these areas?

  1. It is a process, but foil wrapped cabinets can be painted.Because they are in good shape, the best option would be to do a touch up over the raw areas. I would suggest spackling in the raw areas, light sanding and then a bonding primer.(not oil). A paint store should be able to match the color and sheen if you take a door in to match. Touch up with repeated light coats with an artists brush. It would take a little time matching the color, but it can be done and look good!

Best plants for an ornamental rock wall

I am putting in an ornamental rock wall using river rock. I have slanted the terrace back so that I don’t have to cement the rocks together and hope this will allow me to put in some plants as well. Are there certain plants that do well in rock walls like this and that will give us some color through the year?
