help repainting kitchen

I'd say to strip it all, give it a light sanding for any crap that wond come off, and then go to store, and ask for a primer suitable for old plaster.

apply a layer of primer, follow instructions on that, then paint the finish surface.


But I mostly wanted to say thankyou to OP for that picture, because, having spent too long on /tg/, all I can see is a fantastic map coastline for a world to be created from that picture.

the brown stains indicate water leaking above the ceiling or something, you have a bigger problem than the paint itself

Sounds good


And what about the doorways? Sand that down too or just paint over?

What kind of damage will this cause? Isn't it the landlord's responsibility? My aunt isn't savvy on these things and may get taken advantage of at times

and how can you be so sure? maybe it's just moisture, it's a kitchen afterall

or from an old leak that is no longer leaking...

so... if there isn't a current water issue you can scrap off the loose paint or better take it all off down to the plaster then prime the bare plaster then paint. did this in my 100+ year old dining room walls (but I didn't have a water issue at all) and it worked fine. now about 10 years later and the paint on the walls still looks perfect.

ALL the paint? or only the loose paint?

Yes, it's the landlord's responsibility (assuming you're in the US). Do not touch this project without written permission from the landlord. If you do wind up doing the work, the landlord pays for the materials used.
