I made my shower (3 yrs ago) and it looks and feels amazing even today! (Did my HW, to mk it waterproof, etc) And recently, started making bathrooms, showers, etc (using micro cements, plasters...had professional training). But, I respect ppl who are not afraid to try, and mk projects, and are excited about it. That's how I started too.

Brilliant video! I love how you cut to the chase and show what you did without all the typical drama you see in videos of couples trying to entertain the audience and put on a fake show trying to convince strangers they are so adorable! Brilliant job!!! and thankful you came back and answered questions! Loved your honesty, your fears and worries about it, and the reveal! Agree the black accents are STUNNING! GREAT JOB!!!!

For a lighter color like white or lighter gray, one can use tile mortar or even sanded grout had different colors Sand it down in patches to create dense and smooth finish I did my fireplace and turned out great

That in my opinion is an awesome DIY video, show your mistakes people Lear from it explain the process and she recommend tips. I love the way this wall came out. I was pricing lightweight concrete panels and they average 12 per sq’ from different companies, a similar look can be achieved by your process I’m sold 😀 great job

@hannahjames3180 2 года назад

That looks fabulous. The imperfections add to the look and the black fixtures really compliment it. Dark and light patches are to do with disparities in moisture content in the mix. If you wanted to be fussy, you could sand the rough patches but I think you should leave it as it is. Good job girl! I am inspired.

@ronj5714 Год назад

This is crazy good. Would love to see an entire bathroom done like this. I was thinking the same thing as probably others, could it absorb the wetness into the cement from being in a bathroom, but if it did you could just seal it. Great job. This was inspiring to watch. 😊

@SeekingAlexi 11 месяцев назад

Sealing is definitely a smart thing to do-I just never got around to it! Has someone else sealed theirs?

@ujjvalbarney188 2 года назад

@44xxggaaj 3 года назад

Good job., It looks really nice ! An easy way of hiding bare spots would be to first paint the wall the same color as the cement by mixing a very small amount letting it dry and getting it color matched .

@SeekingAlexi 3 года назад

Yes that’s way smarter than patching w more product! I don’t mind the white spots at all, but this would be a smart solution!

@brandiemoser4519 2 года назад

Did you do anything to make sure it wouldn’t crack when you screwed all the fixtures in (mirror, towel rack, hook, etc)?

@Jaypatel512 2 года назад

Exactly what I was looking for and within my budget. Do not want to splurge on $500 paint mixes. Quick question: would it help if I paint the drywall with cement/concrete (gray) color 2-3 days before I do this ? To completely remove any of those white dots peeking through ? Or just using a handy brush and stroking them with a liquidy cement would do the trick ??

@catharsisdaily8293 3 года назад

Will this crack if you screw something into the wall after? If you are hanging shelves on top of this application, should you pre-drill holes before doing this application?

Hi I saw your video it’s great, however I am thinking to do this for the Bathtub and the sink?? What do you suggest!

@paulinebrody4991 3 года назад

This was great! I have used concrete on bathroom countertop & started in the kitchen. However, due to moist& protection I topped it with resin. I would brush it on, using all kinds of techniques (glitter,paint & wood stain). I polyurethane it to get the true color. I may do that with the wall you inspired me to do. I wanted a brown & wood stain soaks I’m well. I did a sink countertop & the seal around the drain hole was not tight and I had a leak which really didn’t dry. Your wall it vertical so you may not have that issue. Look forward to your other videos, thank you 😊

@danielroyston-lopez3147 2 года назад

You can seal concrete with sealant. You wipe it on and wipe it off. Makes it waterproof

So if you wanted to inspire someone--you did and I am SO happy with it! Thank you! 🤍

@kimeklund7262 Год назад

Lol I have been researching for a week before pulling the trigger on a cement wall (fireplace surround) and this was my exact situation too. I don’t like the glossy look of Venetian plaster, and it seemed like every real cement solution was some European designer mixture. I just grabbed polymer modified cement, cement pigment (quikcrete liquid pigment), mixed everything until the consistency looked right without measuring anything, slapped it on a scrap drywall as a tester and it looks amazing. Got the PMC and pigment from Home Depot for $40. Those designer mixes were several hundo plus crazy shipping

How do i do this on drywall

@kalebbillig3472 7 месяцев назад

It’s concrete when you add aggregate (sand, pebbles, gravel, small stones, even large stones) Portland cement is the limestone that’s been heated really hot and once you add water it reacts with any silica in the mixture and makes calcium silicates (that’s what makes it hard)

@monicarodriguez-uv9gm 2 года назад

So you would need hardy backer, bc eventually your concrete is going to absorb the moisture from the steam/shower and you're going to have mold/mildew
