Eric taught us to use either CIF or Pledge. we have yet to try for easy to clean, choose smooth white surfaced laminates Edited July 20, 2009 by rierie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No lah, actually will be nice cos that wall painted darker can be so called your feature wall in the room. Most people paint darker on the bed head area.

U not doing tiles in kitchen? But think if the colour combination is good, will be very nice too. Lynn showed us a completed cabinet using white as the base laminate with a strip of another laminate - very nice. White is classic will never be out of date - but white cabinets in the kitchen i not sure about the maintenance part. I used white in the kitchen but for top cabinets.
