I was going to get the Kilz colors, guaranteed to cover in one coat, however, I'm using the Kilz regular as primer since there are dark and odd colors on the walls.
Also, for the cabinets, I'm not repainting, but staining them after stripping them. I think it will look better than painting them, and there's no way they can take another coat as they are. They are sticky and some doors won't even close because there's no room!
I have an electric hand sander, but will that work on getting the rest of the latex off that's peeling but too thin to pull off the wall?
You'd have to do a perfect stripping job on the cabinets in order to stain them afterward. I would also use mineral spirits to clean off any residue after stripping and sanding.
I would also knock off the loose/peeling paint with a wire brush and then sand. Wire brushes are great.
You can't continue sanding sheetrock, if that's what you have. It will ruin it.
Also, will sanding the raised decorations work? She decorated by writing words and drawing shapes, like hearts and rainbows, in paint. Scraping them off isn't working.
I don't know what you mean by raised work. If she painted it, how is it raised? Did she use a stencil method and plaster or something?

It's not sheet rock. I peeled down to a layer of primer that was underneath the latex paint.
But how do I remove her 'artwork'?

No, she took what appears to be T-shirt paint and drew on the walls, writing in cursive and drawing hearts, rainbows, stick people.....stuff like that. It looks like someone who wrote on a cake.

She said it's like fabric paint. The puffy stuff.

I tried just scraping it, but it's rubbery and soft. When I tried forcing it, it peeled several layers off, but that produces another problem in doing it that way.
