Default Painting emulsion on wood ?

I had kitchen and bathroom ceilings of T&G wood which had been stained and
varnished (polyurethane). They had gone quite dark with age but I gave
them a coat of old emulsion (thinned) and then two coats of bathroom type
emulsion (a light colour). This was done about four years ago and they're
showing no adverse signs so far.




You were very lucky to get emulsion to work on top of varnish
Also Emulsion is normally not recommended for kitchen or bathroom due to
steam ... they produce a specific paint for these rooms. ...
