BONUS VIDEO THIS WEEK!😍 If you want to update your home or your looking for a new home that might need some work, I hope this video gives you some easy and affordable ideas you can use!! Let me know below which one of these upgrades would you consider trying??

Do you do house calls. This is amazing but I have no design skills at all. Prefer an expert like yourself. Thanks excellent video Kirsten

@JacquelineB-bc8lm 8 месяцев назад

I'm grateful. The fact that the video went directly to the point rather than rambling on for thirty minutes like so many others is what I loved most about it. Keep up the excellent format.

@auzieblo 4 месяца назад

Oh yes, you're so right! The rambling on...I used to love watching furniture upcycling videos (now I don't watch them anymore because I know what I'm doing 😅). My favourite RU-vidr would post usually 13-15 minutes tutorials, short, sweet and to the point, while others would talk and talk and blab and blab for 45 minutes and more, while showing us how to upcycle a small piece of furniture 😂 I hated this verbal diarrhea. Why do some folks love to hear themselves talk so much 🤔 😊

@maureentbergeron2521 7 месяцев назад

Bathroom mirror frame - paint the back of the wood frame black before mounting so you don't see the reflection of the raw wood in the mirror. Also, clear silicone caulk across the bottom against the mirror so water doesn't splash and leak behind the wood, which can discolor the wood or even cause it to mold. Otherwise, great tip. We did this in three bathroom remodels. For about $25, you can create a mirror that looks like it cost $100s.

@sydneyschilthuis6281 Год назад

@kristins9456 Год назад

You didn't mention the update I was waiting for - lighting. We need to sell my parents' single-story home, and the lighting was extremely dated. For only about $600, I re-did most of the lighting. It really brightened a lot of the rooms, and brought them 30 - 40 years forward in time. Realtor friends told us we would more than recover the cost of those upgrades on the sale.

....Depending on where one lives, the " heavy draperies or curtains " are often necessary.... especially in area where it snows, and such . ... these help insulate the home and save on heating costs. I used cream coloured velvet ( but washable velvet ) drapes and it made a huge difference.

They are also great to keep the sun and the heat out in the hot, summer days here in the South.

@Toinette2883 Год назад

I had oak cabinets in my kitchen that we paid a fortune to install. They were really looking dated so we had them professionally painted. Best decision we ever made. They look great, looks like a whole new kitchen❣️

@BunnyViva Год назад

I can’t bear the idea of painting over solid wood. Seems like such a waste. I was told by my realtor to update my solid maple cabinets before putting my house on the market. Couldn’t do it!

@rochellet7303 Год назад

Hi Toinette - same here. Ours are maple, but I'm concerned after painting them they will chip easily? What is your experience, or recommendation for how you sealed them so they stay protected and looking fresh? Approx cost? Thanks!

@Toinette2883 Год назад

I was concerned about that too that’s why I had them professionally done. I had too many cabinets to tackle this myself. It’s been a year now and they’ve help up great! Price is all based on number of drawers and doors. So it varies with every kitchen. Never have regretted it.

@rochellet7303 Год назад

@@Toinette2883 thanks so much for your quick answer and the info. Good to know. I appreciate it!

@rochellet7303 Год назад

@@BunnyViva Haha I get it. Re-staining would be even more time consuming/expensive so I was considering paint. Of course, at the time, I selected the "upgraded" extra molding and detail, corbels, etc. which was waaay more expensive, and now they look waaay more dated. 😂

@signespencer6887 Год назад

I actually used flat latex wall paint on the bricks around my fireplace 25 years ago, still looks fine and yes, we used the fireplace for wood fires. I removed old valances and heavy pinch pleated drapes- such a difference when replaced with simple IKEA curtains hung wide so the whole window was visible when the curtains were open. Sooo much more light in a room that needed it.

@jadeh2699 Год назад

I noticed when painting the wall plug covers in the video that the plug was also painted. I know from experience a painted wall plug will not pass inspection for a CO in some places. Just paint the cover and leave the plug unpainted or call your county building inspector and ask what is acceptable.

@mysticfox1563 Год назад

Refinishing wood floors under carpet is NOT super affordable 😂. And as a DIY it’s probably one of the harder projects we’ve ever taken on and I’ve redone the plaster work on a coved ceiling by myself. It’s worth it, but it’s a big job to do it right.

@CheriJ11 Год назад

I agree. I found it difficult to even cut the carpet to take it up. But refinishing wood floors is a labor-intensive, messy, tough job. It can be done; just know that it takes quite a bit of time and effort.

@holamissmusica Год назад

Agreed, but a lot of the other elements such as switching out mirrors were definitely more affordable and less time-intensive.

@handprintlady Год назад

It actually is if you know how to do it!

@alinamiller5152 Год назад

@MyFocusVaries Год назад

I painted our pink tiled (can you imagine) fireplace surround black. It was a terrific one-step primer-built-in paint and made a world of difference. We painted the stair railing from a dated oak finish to white, but I think the railing needs to be black, similar to the look you gave your parents' staircase. Next project!

@Caroleccs Год назад

I'm a (more 'used-to-be') big DIYer, and Kristen did an absolutely fantastic, beautiful job on this small bathroom, ending with what looks like a much larger, .very high-end bath... and for her parents!

Another thing I’m seeing that dates my house (I’ve been here almost 15 years and it’s the longest I’ve ever lived in a home) is doorknobs! OMG…they get worn down and so the finish wears away unevenly. I totally agree about switch plates. Paint and wallpaper, as well as new plumbing fixtures make a huge difference with very little money & are the easiest DIY things to do, unless you do a lot of wallpaper in a room with lots of angles like a kitchen and attached breakfast room. Then you’d want some help. Thanks for your great ideas!

@kimjones7391 Год назад

Just painted my fireplace black over the weekend. I was so nervous but I have to say it’s stunning. My husband was furious with me as I was doing it but he now can see how beautiful it is. I have a big picture that is bright that says “ you are my sunshine “ I printed off pictures of our kids and grandkids put them in black frames. It’s the perfect picture gallery. I wished I’d done it years ago.

I answer myself "You did!! But why?" SMH I did, however put wood-framed mirrors in both bathrooms, 30 years ago, lol! SO ahead of the times, right?

I like the look of wall molding but it seems like it would just become a new dust-collecting surface, no? I don’t dust my walls now and don’t intend to start 😅

@sheilachee6286 Год назад

Been in my home for 12 years now, and I’m ready for these changes. I do have the huge solid wall mirror in my bathroom and have been wanting circle mirrors.

Hello Melita, how are you doing?

The first goal I made in our new 20 year old home was to begin to change All the matte brushed gold things (light fixtures, hinges, lever door knobs, pocket door hardware). It took about a year but not at all much money.

All great ideas, as usual, Kristen, but I beg to differ with you about one point. Removing and installing new carpet is not always an easy job!

@garyroyal1730 Год назад

Honest I always thought that the people that painted the electrical outlets just did it by accident.😂

I got a lot of great ideas from you. I'm grateful. The best thing about the video, in my opinion, is that, unlike many others, you didn't waste thirty minutes droning on. Maintain your format; it works well.

Wood tones go AMAZING with a modern cottage core design. No need to white wash, have greens, whites and plants as decore and you can easily make it look whimsical and modern and bright

@debrakooser812 Год назад

I love the look you showed on the whitewashed /bleached cabinets. Are you able to provide more detailed info on this option or direct me to where I can learn more? We have very dated oak cabinetry and I would love to do this. Thank you!!!

For adding trim to walls or doors, could you paint just the trim the same color as the wall and then affix to the wall/door? Or would you have to mount it and repaint the whole wall?

@FisherCatProductions Год назад

You might get away with it, but you may have unsightly gaps between the trim and the surface. Those gaps are usually filled in with caulk when installing, or with paint if they are very fine joints. And you will have to spackle any nail holes in your trim anyways, and trying to blend them in with dabs of paint...tacky.

1:19 Hi Kristen. Great ideas! One thing you did not mention in this video (maybe it is in another video) Is painting the metal covers over the AC/heater vents. When I bought the house it had been freshly painted except for those dirty white covers against beige walls. Ugghh. I can hardly wait to try the moulding on the doors. Thanks for the ideas!

I've been a subscriber for a year or two, and I just wanted to tell you that while I'll "go with" you to IKEA, Target and Home Goods any time, this video is the most useful and inspiring one I've seen. So thanks for reminding me that there are things I can do on my own to wake this house up a bit. If possible, I'd love to see you address the, I don't know what to call it, separation of, in my case, the living room and dining room. There's no molding or decorative arch, it's as though it was a wall and someone cut and framed out a big square leaving 12 or so inches of wall at the top, continued baseboard around it, and voila, it's 2 rooms, kind of. If possible, I'd have a carpenter frame out the corners, doing whatever is needed to turn it into an arch, but $$$ I've just given up on all of our windows with no ledge; I'm sure it's so much easier/cheaper to frame it out, put the window in, and slap some molding around it. The suburbs of the 1990's aren't known for architectural interest, lol. My apologies for going on so, apparently I had a lot to say 😁
