Varnished wood in kitchen, want 2 paint it any suggestions what 2 paint to use without major sanding?

It is tongue and groove and it is on two walls and the ceiling and I don't want to do major sanding if I can help it!Varnished wood in kitchen, want 2 paint it any suggestions what 2 paint to use without major sanding?
Liquid sandpaper don't work with a spit.





';Kilz'; brand primer sticks to anything.

I would sand it a bit because its varnished but check into ';liquid sandpaper'; in the Hardware/home store. Its great. Also use a oil based paint as that's what the varnish is-other will just peel off. Chk into low VOC paints-';greener'; and less stinky.
I would try stripping it with varnish remover, let it try for a couple of days the you should be able to you latex paint.
You should first prime it with an Acryl-Lok primer. You will then be able to use regular latex paint.
