DIY PAINTED PLAID FLOORS / diy painted floor makeover 

Yeah it'll chip extremely easy.

Waste of time. That shit wont last 6 months lmfao

We have old ceramic floors. Normally the people who paint them regret it as the paint comes up way too easily. Old wood needs oil, which makes it beautiful. I have used oil paints on old wood. It gives a washy effect.

Can you seal wood laminate floors?

I love hardwood floors. I grew up with them in our home. They are beautiful and worth the work on upkeep and maintenance.

😲

nailed it lmao

I wondered who the voice reminded me of. You got it!

just watched like 2 of her videos like a video before this and I heard her voice looked down and thought they were going to cut the floor boards up because there were bees underneath then this happened

I thought she was the bee girl at first!! 😅

People like learning the hard way

I mean they completely EFFED’ it up anyway when they decided to hand-draw those blue paint lines at the end…

Yup

Yup. Never, never paint a floor. Just an enormous waste of time, money, and it'll look bad in the end. Loss, loss, and loss.

Floor looks great, but it will be high maintenance. For future reference, what may have worked on water stains would be oxolic acid known as wood bleach. Works great. A couple coats of clear waterborne floor polyurethane may help preserve your paint job though.

Very true! We bought/lived in a house for a couple years that we remodeled. It was 8,000sq feet of wall to wall carpet, except in the laundry room. Even the bathrooms had carpet. We tore it up and there was beautiful hardwood under it. Needed a light sanding stain and seal but worth every penny and able to sell the house we bought for $300,000 more than we bought it for with only changing the floors and taking down some wallpaper in 2 rooms.

Not remotely true! Most people do not want hard wood floors!

​@@chriskibodeaux9818 these days they are way more popular again. especially since heating the floors have become relatively cheap.

@@Under-Kaoz but there not!! Cause again most people do not want!

@@chriskibodeaux9818 do u actually have a argument for why or just, “People don’t want it, trust me I know”

Yes! My thought exactly, and it kinda ruined it, to be honest… They needed a long ruler and a permanent marker for those thin lines!

@@cakerbaker9965 I don’t think it ruined it just made it very noticeable to the eye. As long as they’re happy that’s all that matters.

Ever thought they might have done it on purpose? Why else would they hand paint the lines rather than tape it?

@@mmace3go read my last comment.

Yeah fr holy shit that bothered me 😂 white girls with construction projects 🤷‍♀️

It's not "their" home. They're trying to sell it for profit. Painting the floors was a foolish move. It's not neutral. It doesn't appeal to as many people as a basic wood floor does. And this requires MUCH more maintenance. And then they put BLUE in too? Now you're pretty much forced to have the accent color be blue in that room, unless you want to repaint the floor. It's just not a good decision for a house you bought solely to make money off of. It's too "mid 20s to mid 30s quirky white woman" to appeal to a wide range of sellers. And I'm saying this as a white woman that LOVES quirky, and eclectic living spaces. I mean, my entire house is painted blue, pink, and green, BUT I realize when I go to sell, I will need to repaint every room to a neutral color that appeals to more people.

Without any sealant it will peel in literally 4 weeks or so

Agree

Yep, something special about old wood floors

Right! After they sanded, it looked pretty good. A dark stain would have been perfect…have fun with the chipped paint in a year 🤦🏼‍♀️

I agree completely!

1 part linseed oil to 1 part turpentine. Paint on raw wood. It soaks right in and leaves the wood beautiful.

Let’s just do what we’ve always done and never ever innovate or try new things

​@@caranewhart like having a old chain that has a big story and you just melt it down to make a new one

​@@caranewhart or learn from our past mistakes there's a reason why people don't paint floors

@@kg-zj2lq my house came with floors and walls painted. The floor took an additional 6 passes at 36 grit to get the paint off. Paint clogs sandpaper. DONT paint your wood floors. To color a wood floor use stain, and be sure to seal it in afterwards.

@@caranewhart This was not innovative, just lack of research on your part. And a huge waste of time.

Right? Videos like these show how we're destroying architectural history. The worst on the endangered species list is the post-war, ______-stlye ranch house phase from the 1950s, with the super practical 4x4 bathroom tiles. The renovation craze came around just in time for people to decide those houses were outdated, so there's been a lot of ripping up, _and_ we're stuck in this timeline where we don't see the 1950s as old enough for historical preservation (that's been stuck at the 1910s, with a smattering of 20s/30s tudor-style houses, for _decades_ now).

@@jacksyoutubechannel4045 I mean, I agree most of the time. But they clearly tried very hard. Also, the people that put carpet over the wood floors are the ones that truly didn't appreciate it

@@jacksyoutubechannel4045 I have two bathrooms with the 4x4 wall tiles (floor tiles are 1x1 in one, and octagons in the other.) The house was built in the late 60s, and the tile is original. Flippers got ahold of the house (way before I bought it) and GLUED LAMINATE PLANKS over the 1x1 tiles. It's been such a pain in the ass trying to scrub floor adhesive out of grout and off the tile faces.

A funeral parlor and a wedding chapel are pretty much the same thing right? Am I right?😁

I love what you did to your floor... some people are a bit critical but at the end of the day you are the one that is using your skills and imagination to create a beautiful floor!!! The room looks amazing.

@Shawn Russell no it's not if you prepare and protect them well they are gorgeous

What? I'm Swedish and I've never seen it. Not even in magazines. Folk art painted walls and furniture, and ceilings, not floors.

No, it’s not. The Swedish thing to do would be to get some proper product from Germany, stain the floor properly, and seal it properly. The Swedish are known for some questionable things, IKEA and their meatballs, but half baked painted floors is not a thing.

It came out great!! Nay sayers be dam.

💖🙏🏼😊

Haha did you miss the whole part where we tried to restore them?? 🤣

“Restore” to what? Thats a subfloor plank, not some hardwood… Its what would be under finer hardwood. IF it is ver had hardwood it was removed long ago.

Yea but not with chemicals, oxalic acid would have cleaned that up no problem, would have looked like new wood

@@caranewhart yea but not with chemicals, oxalic acid would have made it look like new

@@ericschulze5641 that's exactly what I was saying 😅 I've lightened up wood that was almost black to a white pine level with deck mildew removing bleach product. Nothing like household bleach. Powerful shite.

Doesn't look like mold. As they scrape it off, it looks like mastic from linoleum.

Lol those socks tho

The hell does “304” mean?

thank you

@@whillb I looked it up. It means "hoe". Dude could have just said that, because he's right. These hoes know exactly what they are doing, every angle is engineered for maximum hoeage.

​@@whillb upside down on a calculator it's spells hoe

Yes!! I remember seeing these in old houses! My friends house growing up had a runner rug painted on the stairs and it was so cute

Thank you!!!

Haha we do nothing basic around here!! Everything is extra…extra complicated, extra expensive, and extra fun 🎉

Agreed

I thought the same thing, it ruined it

Thank you so so much!! We’re so happy with it!

Exactly what I thought, I mean if it was two guys this would have 1/4 the views!

Look out we have a bad ass over here. Make room for mister professional sander.

🤣🤣🤣
