I updated my house for under 1k with these ideas. Both my neighbors spent 100k on remodels. I did all the work myself and it looks like a new house. I was afraid to paint my kitchen cabinets and they look like a professional did them. I still have a few more walls to paint, but I'm almost done.

This video is sponsored by Sherwin-Williams. To one person it's "dated",and to another, its "vintage".It's all subjective. I suppose it's good advice if you want your house to look like every other house from the 90s to present day. Remember these interior experts were advising people in the 70s to update their 1940s houses with green shag carpeting and green appliances to give it that "modern" look.

I love the cabinet wall behind you! Paint has its place, but people are often too quick to slap on a coat of paint. Before painting, consider if the item or trim is an antique, in which case you'll ruin its value irreparably by painting it. Some surfaces, like brick, mean you'll now have to repaint them forever after once they've been painted. Painting tile, countertops, tile floors is a specialized and short-term solution, and requires careful maintenance. Know what you're getting into before grabbing a paint brush.

My kitchen looked like the first picture you showed, brown cupboards, butcher block Formica counters, linoleum floor, old appliances in my 1953 very small kitchen. We went on vacation and came back to new granite countertops. Our neighbors was in this business and surprised us with new countertops. Such a gift! That started our kitchen makeover. Painted walls, cupboards , and had doors cut out and installed glass in the top cupboards,( made the small kitchen feel bigger) new hardware, pulled up linoleum and found wood floors so we sanded, stained, and polyurethane. As appliances wore out we updated them to all match. Love my kitchen now!

Most of the tips are really good, but I miss the look of light colored wood. Too much white seems cold and colorless to me. Not too crazy about the open floor concept either, which leads to more noise, less privacy, and higher heating bills. I've seen attractive homes ruined by developers buying up homes, tearing down walls, and over whitening wooden surfaces. Hope these trends change.

I painted a really bad counter. Lasted five years, at which time we were ready to do more. Stripped and painted the cupboards. Added a section for cookie sheets and cutting boards between the end and the stove. The stove could not be moved closer if you wished to open the dishwasher. So replaced the counter at that time. Built a matching coffee and recycling center on the other side of stove. Thankfully stove had outlets both sides. Tiles can be painted, but you must know what you are doing. Did it in a half bathroom. Will not work in a shower. First paint with glass primer. Dry. Sand when dry. About 24 hours between paintings. Repeat 3 days in a row. Then paint the tile. I used craft paint, creating a copper look, with the green just starting. Matched the copper taps. Seal with 3 layers of varithan. A lot of work, but it will last and can be scrubbed.

If the Bathroom Fairy gave you vintage 1920s through 1950s colored tile - go with it! It's so vintage it's back in style. With baseboards, you can add trim above it to get a taller look. Then paint the whole thing the same color. It's faster and cheaper than removing and replacing.

Painting tile is a really bad idea. I heard of someone who bought a house and when they went to take a shower the paint started coming off revealing that the tile was pink. There is special paint you can use for painting tile but I’ve seen reviews for these and they aren’t the greatest either because of how often water hits it. And definitely don’t paint a sink either!

I couldn’t find any new ones I liked, so we replaced it with a single hole faucet, using a cover plate in a matching finish we found on Amazon to cover the additional holes. The new look is much cleaner, both literally as well as figuratively, as it’s much easier to keep clean.

The owner of my rental took it upon himself to DIY the flooring without any experience & the problems it looks bad is an understatement, but I did some things to "help" the the floors by fixing large gaps with matching wood filler which helped immensely. Then I sealed the floors also which not only made them look great, protected them & made them much easier to clean. Thank you for such a great video with amazing transformations that are so reasonable and doable fir even a renter. A couple other things for walls instead of paint 🎨 is the temp or permanent wallpaper or stick-on tiles for a back splash, accent wall, a nook or even in the back on built-ins can transform any area and can add texture, color etc. The possibilities with all the varieties of stick-on's are literally endless. Have fun with your spaces & show your personality with your own style and mix it up!!

@dianneunderwood8456 4 месяца назад

I agree that paint can be a wonderful way to refresh your home. When we purchased our current home about 10 years ago, it too was outdated looking on the interior. The first thing we did was hire a painter(before we moved in) to do ceilings, walls and trim in every room. As well we replaced the flooring at the same time. In one week we had a great looking place for under $5,000! Since then (over 7 years) we have painted our kitchen cabinets, replaced doors and door hardware and (since I sew) we also updated the window coverings. It does require some tools and experience to get some of the jobs done, but well worth your time if you can manage to do it yourself. Thank you for presenting this video - it is good inspiration for anyone considering updating in a more budget friendly way.

Adding a length of narrow trim an inch or so above baseboards (or skirting boards as we call them here in the UK) is a great idea, and one I will definitely be using. Thank you!

It has always looked like the walls of a mental hospital. The decorators have thankfully moved beyond it.

I've loved grey before it was in. So I'll keep it. My favorite color.

I found some great tile transfers. I wanted to refresh the 6” plain tiles in our shower, but didn’t want to wait for hubby to get round to it. They’ve been on the tiles for over 2 years and still look good. Have tried tile paint, it’s ok, but prep is everything for that.

@dyanalayng5507 4 месяца назад

Wow! 7:14 making baseboards taller with the added molding and trim paint between!! I love that idea. 2:45 painting wood built-in storage dark is wonderful.

Most of the time I've been in my home I've been extremely cash strapped, so I've done little things. I've replaced switch plates, door knobs and painted to suit my taste. Thanks to the covid incentives I was able to replace the oven, stove top and range hood, finally. I didn't mind the color, a pale yellow, but the range hood had been replaced by the original owner and it was a dark ugly brown. Now that I have no house payment I'm saving my pennies to get the cabinets painted and new linoleum and counters. I really liked your channel, there were no you have to do this admonitions. Thanks for the hints and the validation. 😊

Question: My 50’s home has been updated twice, but there is a peninsula that makes it hard to move in the kitchen. Wasted space behind it! I would have made that a movable island. Is there any way I can cut it off and make it a movable one? No one can get through the kitchen when another person is in the cooking area! We bump butts constantly and this would make it much better! Also, consider putting a plug for computers in the new electrical box.

Wood tones is great

A paint wash over tiles can totally transform a room without completely hiding the original tile. I would do this any day 😊. Also, based on the comments I find it bizarre that something as simple as a painted tile in one room would put people off buying a house (even though spending hundreds of thousands of dollars/pounds etc for a property, seems mad to me). People ask about small detail rather than how old are the electrics, roof, boiler/heating system etc etc.
