Hey AcrossthePond, shims are used to stabilized cabinets and countertops when floors or walls are uneven, they're tapered to allow installers to make minor adjustments so surfaces are level or to fill gaps too - they're found in the lumber department at home improvement stores. And thanks so much ElaneB!! DIY Wood Shim Window Box Centsational Girl |

Wow thanks so much for the feature AT! We built that space for entertaining and used it all summer long, our friends loved hanging out in it too, plus it provided a much needed shade structure that we didn't have before. We're about to put it back up again, not that the rains have stopped, thanks again for the feature AT! Before & After: Bare Patio Turned Luxurious Cabana Centsational Girl |

Yes you absolutely can paint over laminate, I've done it several times, the key is using the right primer, I highly recommend Zinsser Cover Stain - it's oil based but clings extremely well to laminate surfaces. Can I Paint Over Laminate Cabinetry? Good Questions |

Hello Mrs. Mouse, great idea! From what I could find, the Billy extensions don't come in the 15" depth yet, but if/when they do, I'm already thinking that extra height will look great! Build-In Your Billys for an Inexpensive & Custom Look Centsational Girl |

Hey Jess, great question, there's a link in the post that mentions the panels are 4 x 8 dry erase boards found at Lowes that we secured to the wall with adhesive, then primed and painted - at only 1/8 inch thick, they can be placed right on top of existing baseboard. I did a similar board and batten project using the same panels here: Before & After: DIY Wainscoting Transforms a Room Centsational Girl |
