Article: If the cabinets are already installed, remove the cabinet doors by removing the hinges with a screwdriver. Set the doors aside. Since this is a wipe-on finish, it is easier to control its application. You may leave the doors on if you choose, but it's much easier to work with them removed. Mask off the wall along the edge where the cabinet is attached to the wall to protect the paint on the wall one or two widths should be enough. If you do get some Teak oil on the painted wall, wipe it off immediately with a "dab" of mineral spirits. If the cabinets have been previously finished, take the #0000 steel wool and buff all surfaces to be finished. This will take some time, but be thorough. After buffing, clean the surface with household window cleaner and wipe dry. Take a cloth dampened with mineral spirits and wipe down the surfaces. Wipe dry and allow about 10 minutes for any remaining mineral spirits film on the surfaces to evaporate.

Article: Apply at least two coats of primer to your wicker before painting it. When applying primer, use multiple thin layers for a smoother, better looking, more chip resistant finish. Shake your spray primer thoroughly and then apply it by pressing its applicator button. Spray it evenly onto all wicker surfaces, including crevices and in between weavings. Wear a dust mask when priming. When priming, keep your arm straight and use sweeping, left-to-right motions. Start from the top of the furniture and work your way to its bottom. Keep the spray applicator a few inches away from the wicker. For most kinds of primer, the benefits you receive from extra coats stops at five coats of primer. Save primer by applying no more than five coats. Primer is especially important when changing colors, or when covering over dark colors. Be sure to prime in these situations. Because wicker is so contoured, drips, runs, and unevenness in your primer are likely. Use a clean sponge or paintbrush to smooth any drips, runs, or unevenness so your primer coat is smooth throughout. After touching up, allow your primer to dry completely before adding another coat. The wait time for your primer should be indicated on its can. In most cases you can expect your primer coats to dry fairly quickly. Shake up your spray paint thoroughly. In the same fashion you applied your primer, you'll also apply your spray paint. In most cases, it is best to paint from top to bottom, though you may want to paint the underside and less visible parts of the furniture before painting its main parts. Much like primer, multiple thin coats of paint will look better and be more chip resistant. Use at least two thin layers of paint, and no more than five. After you are finished spray painting each coat, check for drips, runs, and uneven spots in your paint. Use a clean sponge or brush to touch up these so each coat is smooth and even. Give your first coat sufficient time to dry completely before adding the next one. The paint will likely be dry in a few hours, but wait two days before using the furniture so the paint fully cures.

Prime the wicker. Touch up drips and runs. Spray paint the furniture.
Article: Once all of the guests are finished eating, gather up the dirty dishes, leaving the charger and any unused silverware. Serve the next course immediately by placing the prepared dish directly onto the charger. Plan for a little bit of prep time in the kitchen between courses to arrange the food on the plates. The charger stays on the table until dessert is served. When serving a full course meal, most hosts or hostesses provide goblets of water and a glass of wine. If you have room, consider serving drinks family-style by placing pitchers of water and bottles of wine on the table, allowing the guests to serve themselves. This will save you time and let you relax during each course. If you don't want pitchers or wine bottles on the table, you will need to refill guests' glasses yourself. If you have hired wait staff, they will refill the guests' drinks for you. Once the dessert course is ready, clear away any bread plates, main course plates, silverware, and the charger. Leave the dessert silverware at the top of the placemat on the table. This will give your guests room to stretch out while they enjoy dessert and digest their meal. Some people also like to offer dessert wine, port, brandy, or scotch during this course.

Clear each plate away before serving another. Consider how drinks will be served. Clear all of the dishes before dessert.
