Molly3573-I did not strip the cabinets -clean /fill/prime- The base board trim is just taller base trim from Home Depot- I used the pre-primed faux wood stuff and I used a newall (sp?) post cut down for the corners of the island and corner guards for the corner of the cabinets to dress them up. The bead board was just the pine bead board sheets (4x8) at Home Depot primed and painted with the same. I did not glaze them like the cabinets. All attached with a brad nailer- small trim nails would work and a hammer-but take longer- hope this helps -adding crown molding really gave the best bang for the buck as an upgrade- good luck with your kitchen!

If it is at all possible for you top post pictures of your plants, please do. This will help us with identification and allow us to see any problems. Also, if you have the original seed packet, please take a photograph of the front and the back so that we can read any information it may provide.

Thank you so much - this was very informative! Unfortunately, neither says how high above the picture to install the light (and the electrical!). Thought it would be something easy to find, but apparently, I was wrong! :-)

There is a lot of ways to look at this, a lot has to do with how you will power it, then how much of the artwork you want to light up, the longer the fixture the more area it will cover the smaller, more of the center will be lit. NO need to go from the ceiling. Picture lights are not cheap. I would go look at the vendor House of Troy, they have specialized in this for years, if nothing else you can get a feel for the market.
