My husband took "her" outside, very lightly sanded her, got her all cleaned up, taped off everything we didn't want to be white (the knob/clock area), and went to town. He very slowly and methodically applied the spray paint...and it took several days as he did many coats, but it made a huge difference. (I have seen YouTube videos on how to paint stoves...you should check those out.) The paint has since chipped in spots where I've dinged it with pots, and we probably need to sand her down and paint her again, but getting the Harvest Gold eyesore out of the kitchen has been a game changer. My husband also painted our fridge which has been great, too. <br /><br />Happy Painting!<br />GinnyGinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011093332069125006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042771491441596129.post-35427901876116139142012-07-29T21:45:41.416-05:002012-07-29T21:45:41.416-05:00I have a question about Gladys...

We have so many renovations that replacing my "Lady Kenmore" is not in our immediate plans... But if I can paint her to match the rest of the appliances that would be so nice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042771491441596129.post-61674000228198027982012-06-19T18:24:06.709-05:002012-06-19T18:24:06.709-05:00LOVE how real this post was!

Im so excited to see one of your heart's dreams unfolding and your own fears of sharing your kitchen melting away. Beauty to behold. Beauty in process. Beauty in the revealing.
