Painting Laminate Cabinets


I can’t afford to change my kitchen full of sturdy white laminate. I would like to paint bottom row of cabinets black to anchor them, and the top half cream, I will also put in a marble/ wood counter. Any advice on painting over laminate greatly appreciated.

I want to Cover My Parquet Floor


I am going to put this to a vote…
I have bought a limestone apt with delapidated but original wood floors…thin planks going every which way.They remind me of my classroom floors and depressing tenements. I know i am being a philistine but would it be so bad to float something over them? I am not a tasteless idiot, I don’t feel the need to sheetrock over plaster and rip out fireplaces. I just don’t like this sad, saggy oak. Tell me your thoughts people.
