Please give me all your painting and decorating tips because I still have no idea why the tape was ripping off the green paint 😂😂. Can’t lie tho, I am absolutely chuffed with how the bedroom has come out. Especially considering it was my first time ever properly decorating 🧑🎨.
Will I usually paint the skirtings first and then cut in the wall colour, if you are not confident to cut in using a brush then by all means use tape and if it’s frog tape then yes the yellow one. Remember even allowing gloss to dry it still needs to cure a little so maybe leave a little longer next time before taping. Great job though Will good effort.
Hello mate , im a decorator and if you want your painting to not peel off use the pink tape not the green ones because that one specifically designed to not peel off the paint , cheers
two tips I use... 1) use painting try inserts or line with tin foil / cling film as saves you cleaning the tray each time. 2) once you lay low tack tape, go over with the colour you're covering first (white if taping the ceiling) then paint your wall colour... it creates a sharper line and if the tape bleeds its the right colour.
Thanks so much for this advice, I did find it a nightmare constantly cleaning up after myself and I’ll give this a try next time with the tape and painting
What a beautiful finish to your bedroom I’m dead proud of you both. It’s such a lovely feeling when you add furniture to a newly decorated space and even nicer when it’s your first home. Made me dead emotional seeing the end product. It’s a stunning colour too I’m now going to pinch it for mine 😂
@@WillsWhereabouts Hi Will, if the door hangs flush and doesn't swing open then its a good job well done. The carpenter might have taken a bit to much wood off when he hung the door last time and he only needed a thin sliver like the cardboard to rectify. This sort of fixing up Isn't a major bodge job as we all do this sort of stuff at some stage. Happy Xmas
Tip with masking tape, run the sticky side over your jeans a couple of times, takes away some of the tackiness, still enough to stick but not enough to rip paint off, also when roller painting, i've found going right from ceiling to skirting board in one stroke and work your way along, don't get so much overlap as you do with smaller strokes, sometimes leaving what i call a contour map, where you can see the overlap on the walls. great vid and can't wait for the next installment!!
Will, I was always pants at painting edges too with the same trouble as you with tape. A friend said ‘you can do anything with the right tools’….. she was right! Don’t tape at all, get to b&q buy 2 DECENT paint brushes a 3” for the majority of edge work and a 1” or 1/2” for corners and tight areas. Make sure the paint brushes are the ones with the white tips (I think they call them fine filament) they’re cheaper than all the tape you’ve bought 😉 I’m no expert but this works for me….. paint the lines with a large brush in long sweeping strokes, angle the tips into the wall/ceiling edge (the finer tips stop paint getting on the other surface. So, go with me, it’s harder to explain in writing 😁 Place the paintbrush flat on the wall horizontally making sure the corner edge of the bristles are on the wall about 1” away from the ceiling edge. Begin painting horizontally in one long stroke a bit like a rainbow (though not as curved) the middle part of the stroke is what meets the ceiling and forms your straight edge. The next bit is key! This movement really happens all at the same time (trust me, read this, try it with a dry brush first and I promise it will make perfect sense when you have a go). Increase pressure on the bristles and begin changing the angle of the brush so when you reach the ceiling edge you start introducing more of the flat edge and tips of the brush (all the while continuing the rainbow stroke). You naturally will start pulling away from the ceiling straight edge once the whole flat edge and tips of the brush have been used. Tips A good pressure flattens the bristle tips for a sharp edge Too much pressure splays the bristles and will give a jagged edge The more you do it the easier it gets Use a long sweeping stroke Don’t go too slowly or you’ll get more wobble You’ve both done a smashing job on the bedroom, well done guys!
Thanks so much for all this advice and constructive tips and tricks! I’m going to try cutting in next time but will definitely need some practice to get those nice straight edges
@WillsWhereabouts My wife and I think you did a great job on the bedroom. Far better than most for a 'first go'. Incidentally my wife does the cutting in in our house and she's great at. I was a carpenter for 12 years so I picked up quite a bit in the trade. Try this - dip a 1 inch brush in the pot. Then start by placing the brush exactly on the skirt or wherever you need to cut in where the two lines meet. Then pull the brush along whilst 'spinning' the brush in your fingers. Imagine rolling or twizzling a straw or pen between your fingers. As you spin the brush whilst pulling along it causes the bristles to bunch up to a point. The point creates a perfect line every time. The method is fairly easy and after a few practice goes you'll find that the speed you can create edges is unbelievable. As always we always watch the channel and my wife thinks you are a good laugh when you apply new learning and get over your hurdles like the van fix. If you have some success with the cutting in give us an anonymous shout on the channel. I'm sure you'll take to this idea really well.
Ooooh lovely. Green is one of my favourites and I absolutely love the colour you chose, gorgeous bedroom! With masking tape, I stick it to my jumper first then put it on and since it's lost a lot of it's stickiness it doesn't peel off any paint when you rip it off!
Pink tape is the lowest tack pull off immediately after painting, I’ve found frog tape to be bad for pulling paint off, use the pink tape from brewers or B&Q’s own brand cheap one, paint your first coat then fill all minor imperfections and spot them back in before doing your second coat, don’t use ready mixed filler as it’s basically concrete, and if your an amateur like me do the finer sanding by hand as you always go to far with an electric sander 😂 these are all things I wish I’d learnt on day one 😂 still learning now and I’m on my second house
Atleast Evie has got a glimpse of her future life at the start. Sometimes it takes years to realise certain problems in a relationship. RUN EVIE... RUN 😂
What a transformation, the room looks brilliant. Don’t worry about the initial mistakes with the painting, all DIYers have to start somewhere and learn along the way. You will now know for the next room. I would always paint the white areas first (skirting, door and window frames) then let them dry completely before masking those to put colour on the walls. Great video, well done mate!
Will I’m so proud of you and Elie buying this place, the excitement of a new place is the challenges it brings. I’d love to know what you’re thinking the first night in front of the Tele looking around thinking we did this.
Get a dehumidifier Will. As you have had mould you need to be extra careful. Just set it to kick in when the humidity rises or you will get mould under that bed.
Invest in a decent cutting in brush. Use The pink stuff paste to clean upvc window frames. And obviously sort your leak out or you'll be back to square one. Mind you, you did this in the summer by the looks of it so advise maybe a bit late coming?...
Bro just be careful with electrics - even if you’ve turned the power off don’t assume the power is off - you need some system to double check the power is out to the socket or appliance your working in. You can’t guarantee what happens with the wires when behind ceiling and walls 😊
100% !! Just because you (as in most people) do it properly, NEVER assume someone else has too. You never know what Mcguyvor stunts somebody may have done with wiring etc 😵
I knew what would happen with the words painted on the wall. When I helped a mate of mine paint his living room 25 years ago he wrote "wanker" in massive letters and you could see it if you looked at it at an angle in certain lights :) Congrats and good luck with all the work!
That looks amazing ❤ The green colour looks 😍😍 The people coming off the trains will get a great sight, if you are in the windows topless 🤣❤ Looking forward to the next video. Merry Christmas Will and Evie.
Will when the builders painted your flat they not only used the cheapest paint they watered it down. When you paint over it with your new paint it has nothing to stick to so your tape had no resistance and peeled off . The trick is to apply size which will mix with the paint and dry to a sealed surface which will then give your colour a firm undercoat and will not lift off when the tape is removed. Merry xmas bud.
OMG that bedroom looks awesome, I painted our bedroon a few years ago now, and did it lime green love it, we also have that same bed, and we store all our winter clothes when it is summer here and other way round when it is winter.
Top marks for using Zinsser. I've had nice results with their 123 primer and paint flaking treatments. Pricey but worth it for peace of mind. Still watching, but the frog tape problem might be because the paint hasn't cured properly - it's not stable. I think I started removing the frog tape straight after painting for this reason but can't quite remember. Other main tip is always use the paint sparingly (quite dry) which means you can then easily feather it all in easily, especially the cutting in of ceilings (the part your roller can't reach) ☺️👍 Edit: The room looks great! ♥️
Thanks very much, for my first time I think it turned out great and many lessons learnt and yep Zinsser seems to be the go to product for things like this
One little trick is to use a 12” wide putty knife. Just run it along the top edge of the trim as you touch up with a paint brush. Wipe the putty knife off as needed.
Hi Will love the choice of colour olive tree it would look nice in your van if you had to do it up again then its your home from home lol, Well hope you and Evie have a wonderful christmas and great New Year
Great series and I'm watching with interest, personally I wouldn't have used white emulsion paint on the window sill, skirting boards and door frame (if that is what you used?) its not durable enough or designed for high wear areas, it's really only meant for walls, I'd recommend using eggshell, satin or gloss paint. I'd also ditch the frog tape and just practice cutting in with a brush a steady hand, take your time and you'll achieve straight lines.
Ya my husband and I said that too. Also maybe cover the bed with plastic until the mold issue is taken care of. Great job on the bedroom. Maybe order of operations would have called for the bathroom to be done first but this is how we learn. Looks fab.
@WillsWhereabouts 270k for the flat. 5 quid for a roll of the tape. If you're going to be a painter and decorator, yeah learn all the tricks. If you just want your flat to look great quickly then buy the tape.
I love the green as I'm a greenie mother earth type of girl. I loved your van for that reason and our van has that as an accent colour inside. It looks wonderful. Well done both if you the room looks amazing, love it ❤ Merry Christmas to you both xx
Looks fantastic mate. Love the colour. I’d be struggling with a room that’s not square as well. Looking forward/dreading to see the bathroom, I can imagine it’s horrific.
Hi will those weird nobbly bits on top of the window sash open the window…. If you pull them simultaneously to the centre of the window then pull the sash towards you the window will open inwards and it’s the same for the top sash of the window too… easy for cleaning and nice in the summer allows more air flow hope this helps 👍🏼
Fair play to you mate, turned out really nice considering you did a few jobs the wrong way round 😆Really like the colour you went with too. Looking forward to the next one 👍
Wow Will, you are sooooo professional! (OCD men are the best!) I have owned 8 different houses (new and older) and in over 50 years when painting, I have never washed or sanded a wall! PS- I have never seen green frog tape in the US....we use 3M blue painters tape and IF the paint has been allowed to dry properly...I have never had that problem! Rooms looks fantastic, are you going to do something about the brown door...maybe replace with a white door? Merry Christmas to you both!
The 'flaky bits' in your dried paint are probably bits of fluff off the brand new rollers. You can get those off before you start painting to avoid the issue.
Please give me all your painting and decorating tips because I still have no idea why the tape was ripping off the green paint 😂😂. Can’t lie tho, I am absolutely chuffed with how the bedroom has come out. Especially considering it was my first time ever properly decorating 🧑🎨.
hi will try using a low tack tape which means its not as sticky and shouldnt peel off the paint when pulling off
If you paint the skirting board first and then mask it off, the tape won’t peel off the woodwork
Will: and all the nice black sockets are HIDDEN 😒😒
Will I usually paint the skirtings first and then cut in the wall colour, if you are not confident to cut in using a brush then by all means use tape and if it’s frog tape then yes the yellow one.

I am a professional decorator. Cut in with a brush, you can thin the paint with a little water to help it flow better. Then roll with a 12” roller
I need to practice my cutting in that’s for sure
Thank you Jake and Finley for helping Will out. Don’t be hard on yourself Will, your a beginner. That room looks well smart 👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
What a beautiful finish to your bedroom I’m dead proud of you both. It’s such a lovely feeling when you add furniture to a newly decorated space and even nicer when it’s your first home. Made me dead emotional seeing the end product. It’s a stunning colour too I’m now going to pinch it for mine 😂
Haha thanks very much Lee, really happy with how it came out and finally starting to feel like home
The cardboard were placed on the screw hinges as door shims to level out the door hangings
I did think they just be there for a reason
@@WillsWhereabouts Hi Will, if the door hangs flush and doesn't swing open then its a good job well done.

I love the bedroom. And with the tape. The paint wasn't dry enough to be taped.
Yea I think I should have either taken it off straight away or let it cure for a few days

Hi will, look into a method called 'cutting in'. You will get perfect paint lines every time with practice.
Lots and lots and lots of practice will be needed for perfect lines but I’ll get there

Well done stellar job
Nicely done. Room looks great.
If I can put up coving you can paint. Remember to wash the walls down to remove any finger marks and grease. They will show through the new paint
Yea we made sure to wash them all before we painted
Lovely bedroom. Wishing you all a wild and magical Christmas. Love and Respect from Norway.
Same to you!
Looks stunning Will! Great job 👏
Thanks a bunch!
Hi Will love the choice of colour olive tree it would look nice in your van if you had to do it up again then its your home from home lol, Well hope you and Evie have a wonderful christmas and great New Year

great vlog on the channel nice work on the house keep up great vlogs on channel thanks lee
Thanks 👍
Happy Christmas to both of you xx
Same to you!
We wash our walls with sugar water to help ensure the paint does not easily pull off. Would recommend
This is basically what we used
Well done Will,your bedroom looks verry nice and cozy !!!
Thanks so much!
The second wire is the switch wire, don’t remove the cardboard from the hinges as it balances the door
The best thing for cleaning your upvc bits is Cif.
I’ll have to give it a try
BTW repair any leaks before doing anything
I’ve stopped the leak from the bathroom so should be all good
Marry Christmas Will enjoy your new year soon
Thanks mate and you
well done you both are doing great.merry christmas to you both
Thank you! You too!
Should the bed not be on the opposite wall? As the sockets laid out that way.
Yea we did think about this but it left very little room as the other wall is wider and doesn’t have the door opening on it
There's no need to waste money and time with frog tape. Just use a piece of card board. A cereal box will work
Ya my husband and I said that too. Also maybe cover the bed with plastic until the mold issue is taken care of. Great job on the bedroom. Maybe order of operations would have called for the bathroom to be done first but this is how we learn. Looks fab.

Looks fantastic mate. Love the colour. I’d be struggling with a room that’s not square as well. Looking forward/dreading to see the bathroom, I can imagine it’s horrific.
Recommend some coving for the ceiling, really finish that room off

Looks great Will, someone suggested a winder brush which seems like a really good suggestion
I’ll give this a try for next time 😊
we did a similar colour (but only 1 wall in the room as a feature). turned out well Please keep the videos coming Merry Xmas Andrew
More to come Andrew and merry Christmas to you too 😊
Also you need to activate frog tape by rolling over it so it adheres properly and get crisp lines and take the tape off whilst the paint is still wet
Ohh that’s good to know
Hello mate, good to see a new video, have a great Xmas 👍
Thanks, you too!
Looks class 🎉
Cheers matey 👊🏻
Re paint test patches - test in the room but sand back before main coats are applied.
Fair play to you mate, turned out really nice considering you did a few jobs the wrong way round 😆Really like the colour you went with too. Looking forward to the next one 👍
It’s all a learning process isn’t it 😂
looks fab mate, well done, making a house into a home step by step, looks great.

Looking good although I’d go for sockets with USB ports. Can never have too many! 👍
We did actually get 2 of those I just forgot to show them
Well done ❤
Don't lose them hinge packers....😊
😂😂 too late
The 'flaky bits' in your dried paint are probably bits of fluff off the brand new rollers. You can get those off before you start painting to avoid the issue.
Always give it a good day to dry between coats 👍
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Fair play youve gone that extra mile , and all for perfection, i wouldnt of done that myself tbh ha ha
Hah perfection is what makes it look good
Three drawers EACH? That's a win in my book, mate! 😉😂

Never say Alexa on this as it disables my bedroom light 😂

Put a teaspoon of vanilla in your paint n it will take away the strong smell
Dont lose that cardboard Will. It’s there for a reason!
Too late 😂
If you rip the tape off, then do it on 180 degree angle not 90.
I never use tape I just cut in with my paint brush takes time but worth it
I’m going to need some practice
