I would like to paint over our trim and the doors in our home, which are all the lovely orangy/brownish look (not a nice pretty wood - and it's cheaper to cover than replace), but what would you recommend to paint a stained door? I'm thinking the process would be similar to painting the paneling, but I would love to hear your thoughts! I don't want to paint all the doors and then have the paint 'scrape' off, as I've seen happen often. Oil based primer? 1? 2? coats? (I have no idea if you will even see a comment on a really old post! But I have to ask, because as we work on our house, my response to my husband is always, "well on younghouselove they did ...", so you have become my DIY expert! :) Thanks!

You might be great! As for tips on picking colors, I'd just bring a ton of swatches home and hold them up and see which ones complement each other the most! xo, s

We are on a tight budget and will be painting according to your instructions above but due to the large space I was wondering if we would be as successful if we used a professional sprayer instead of rolling? Any tips on where to look (online or otherwise) for complementary colors when painting the tiles as well as the panel walls as we need to do both? Thank you for the great instructions and blog posts.

If not, how do I get rid of them?! I think the grooves give a "country" style look after being painted. I am revamping my office which has an entire wood panel wall. The rest of the walls are "normal" 1970's textured white paint. What are your thoughts? To leave the grooves or not? If not, how do I get rid of them?!
