Hello!
So, I am repainting our kitchen walls and trim. I am almost done with painting and was thinking of applying a polycrylic to the baseboards so they don't get beat up as easily. I was also considering applying polycrylic to the wall above the sink (we have Minwax under the sink so will use that brand). Splashing water and whatever really did a number on the wall before there and we do not have time or money to put up a back splash. I put spray-on shellac on it (see uneven sheen picture below) but only one coat at this point so it looks awful. I am wondering if I can apply a poly to that area and if so should I do it to the entire wall above the counter top around the kitchen to keep the sheen the same? The latex I used is eggshell and just want to make sure the polycrylic isn't going to rub it off!
The attached photos are our kitchen before and now with the new cupboards and paint job (teal color) to show you what I am working with. I am going to have to figure out how to put photos in the post without a url - very strange...
