yes, you can do it. you may hav eot remove something else to get to it, or you may be able to squeeze your hand inthere enough to get it done. i usually just cut the sprayer hose off to get the old one out of the way so i can get a wrench up there to remove the last of the hose and install the new one. make sure you wrap the thread with teflon tape before you put the new hose on!

Lyban, I'm sorry!! I absolutely love the floors, though I'm already wishing we'd sealed them (I think this will pass as I add furniture, rugs, etc). Unfortunately none of the pictures are very good so far, but here are some anyway. So, approaching hte basement, before you'd have seen really nasty old linoleum with dirt ground in and shiny dirty-looking paint Now you see fresh flat white paint and new charcoal carpet. The new basement floor is visible, but pretend you don't see that yet! Walking into the basement, before there were dirty dark shiny paneled walls (I don't even have any pictures of those), a moldy old dropped ceiling, flourescent lights above gross old panels, and dark brown vinyl tiles that were releasing from years of neglect. This represents a halfway picture, with older paint, the dropped ceiling removed, and new lighting. Then we painted the ceiling flat black (the subject of this thread, of course!), painted the walls bright flat white, and replaced the flooring with diamond-set white and grey vinyl tiles (the commercial stuff by Armstrong). The pictures of the new floor aren't very good...we don't have any of the new furniture we're planning to get and frankly I'm not even sure what I want. So I am definitely open to decorating ideas...I'm thinking charcoal couch, huge area rug (perhaps an accent color?), and a loveseat or additional chairs. Even now, as I sit here, we've placed some of the furniture--TV, our one chair, and the exercise stuff, but I dare not take pictures because DH finally has his TV back after almost 1.5 months! Laundry room main living area, with furniture all pushed to the middle (this was right after installation) To sum up, this is what's happened over the last 6-7 weeks: 1. ripped out old/moldy/disintegrating/incompletely installed dropped ceiling 2. installed can lights (removed old, in some cases nonfunctional, flourescent tubes) 3. painted the unfinished ceiling black (huge ordeal, involved moving almost everything upstairs and then taping off all walls and remaining items with thick plastic sheeting before renting a gigantic power paint sprayer...) 4. demolished huge, old, smelly, dusty-----but surprisingly (and unfortunately for me, the demolisher) well-built!----plywood/particleboard/pegboard/wood closets 5. ripped up nasty old floor tiles that were coming up and breaking into small pieces all over the place (thank you victoria---horrible job); we then lived with nasty black mastic for almost two weeks, until #8 happened this week. 6. Had an asbestos-wrapped copper water pipe professionally removed 7. painted old dark shiny paneled walls flat white, including the stairwell walls and ceiling. 8. installed new VCT tile and base molding, and carpeted the stairs with charcoal-colored carpet

Why yellow? I am thinking that with the color of your cabinets and flooring, you are going to have a hard time finding a yellow that works. Perhaps a warm cream color instead. But I was wondering if you would consider a pretty blue? I think it would be nice with the wood tones, work with the dark appliances, pick up the colors in your decorative plates, etc, and really show off the beadboard as well. Love your dutch door, by the way! Maybe something like SW 6520 Honest Blue, or 6521 Notable Hue

Pictures cannot really show what a difference it made. In one of the pictures, I put the back of one of the doors up against a newly painted door to show the difference. It is slightly blurry, but the gist is there. The other pictures just show the whole kitchen. We are in the process of tiling the floor and back splash, and painting, and replacing the counters. I added more cabinets, that is why you might notice the counter is a bit short. I used the Krylon Fusion paint because it sticks best to plastic, and I used the Satin, as opposed to gloss. I will tile the ends of the cabinets. It would have been possible to take them off the wall and paint them as well. I never painted the inside of the doors, but now that I think of it, I probably should have. The inside would have to be done first, so that any overspray could be covered up on the front when the front was painted. The cabinets are frameless, so you don't notice the color difference unless the door is open.
