Another motivating factor in the remodel is Kati's ever growing Teapot collection. Those cabinets have no less than eight layers of paint on them. Zero of those layers were put on by us. Zero were probably put on by the last owners of the house, which means at least seven of those layers are lead-based. Yum.

1) Lowe's has a simple test kit for lead base paint. If you decided to strip it be sure to wear a mask.

Yes - it snapped...suspension wires were too tight / teapots were too heavy. They destroyed about 50 pieces of her collection; she was devastated. So, don't do that, Joe.
