I own a Garnett Hill red cotton fleece blanket that is really red. http://ww...

Did you notice a difference in the two brands of paint? I've thought about doing this for a long time. I look forward to seeing the after photos!

I love it. May I ask where you bought the white/wood shelves? Thanks

Bubble: I too have a coil-type electric cooktop that tilts my pans, but I've figured out a solution. I put a level on top of the (obviously, not hot) burner and added quarters between the drip pa...
