What type of cupboards and can I paint them.
8 years ago
Hi, I have standard (I've seen them in many different condos) cupboards in my kitchen and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what they are made of and if I can paint them. Thank you.

what are these and how far can I cut them back
Comments (6)Yes those are from the ones in the back yard. The ones that are just branches right now. They have some leaves coming in, but my dilemma with them is they are really tall and not much coming in on the bottom. I have a shady spot back there right now until I cut a dying pine tree down. I just don't know what these are and have been trying to figure it out for the past year. That way I'll have a better idea as to how far I can prune them how resilient they are and so forth. They both are beautiful when fully green and provide great privacy, however they are getting out of control and I don't want to kill them cause my wife loves them. As for this picture. It only produces leaves, and it looks like they have long thorns OR sharp budding branches, as I have been poked a couple times when I am out there. Come fall and winter they are bare and look wirey and just grow all intertwined straight up. Now the tops are growing all over the place, left right up. It is a mess. again thanks for the help....See MoreCan I repurpose this cupboard??
Comments (15)I love the cupboard exactly as it is. Very pretty. It does have $$ resale value, and if you paint it, it loses some of its value. The most valuable it can be is as close to its original new condition as possible. If an antique is seriously damaged, fixing it/painting it is a good idea. But yours looks pretty good. Up to you though. It would be great filled with china, or towels in the bath, or a pretty place to hide your electronics, or display a favorite collection. It would be great in almost any room of the house....See MoreWhat type of soil should I buy for salvia plants and can I winter 'em?
Comments (4)Hot Lips has wintered over very well for the last three years in my Shoreline garden. As for soil, large pieces in the mix. In the spring and summer don't water unless soil is really dry - about half way down the pot. Fast drainage is the key - even more important than full day sun. Fortunately, the plant is not very expensive so if it does freeze buy a new one in the spring. You can grow lots of different salvias if you consider them annuals. The hummers will thank you and give you hours of joy watching them. You could also try Grevilleas and fuschias....See MoreWhat type of succulents are these? How to I properly care for them?
Comments (3)The top left looks like an Echeveria, and I think the one next to it is too, but I'm not sure. They all need well-draining soil and, if you're growing them indoors, you should probably put them in a south facing windowsill for maximum light. The potting medium should be mostly grainy, like perlite or pumice, no peat moss. Perlite is that white rock that looks like little pieces of styrofoam. I'm not sure about the other ones, but hopefully someone more experienced than me can help you. Good luck!...See More- 8 years ago
