Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

Maybe bring a piece of the wood with the color stain you’re going to use for shelves and things and see if that makes it look more cream color
I did this years ago when there wasn't a name for it, don't stress, you can simply paint it any color. I painted mine several colors over the years.
@ratdogtaylor-qf1lp, How is it to clean? Seems like it would be harder to clean than tile.
The color looks like a beige cream now from here. I love it. ❤
See what it looks like after the second coat before you decide because the undercoat is showing through, love it I see the brown tones
I think it's looking fantastic and I think the finished product will be wonderful.
Your house is coming along. You must be getting excited about the finish and moving it. Its going to be beautiful
We used to own a decorative cement biz back about 12 years ago. It was fun but we were in a minor car accident but my husband had a shoulder injury that hindered him from doing some of the techniques which were the most popular ones we did so we went to truck diving school and became team drivers eventually owning our own truck and trailer. Now that we have retired we're trying to sell that semi truck and trailer! Concrete work is for the young, it's hard work but fulfilling. I'm sure it will turn out just fine.
Abby take some of your Chantilly White that you have already painted the rest of your walls and paint a small piece of that orange board and then lay that up against your wall so that you can see the difference in the paint color. Then paint all the wood the color that you want in there and then bring some of that in there to check it out against what you have it will make a difference for you to see the as much of a whole picture as you can without having to put it completely together until it's like you want it.
I laughed out loud when you said "I'm lazy" because lazy would never a word I'd use to describe you!
I like the look of it with just the first coat. Wait until the second coat before you decide if you like it. You still have the undercoat showing through. That is going to make it look different.
Just saw a clip on Homeworthy about a home in London. They have the same cement walls. They loved it and remarked how easy to clean. So evidently a good choice.😊
Abby, I really enjoy your think tank sessions. 😀
No worries,paint it if it isn’t quite what you want. ❤️
You always get through the difficult places, don't stress it girl you have this covered . Yeah ! 💞good job Seth !!!!!
I say stick with it Abby, i think this colour is what you are looking for. I totally agree when it first went on it did look grey, but as it dried it looks more cream from the camera and love how the house is coming together now its so exciting x
Sharon here... from my view, it has a brown undertone. Nice!👍❤🙂
Whenever you finish a sheetrock wall or a plastered wall a huge amount of lighting is needed to show all the flaws, so that you really know how smooth the walls are.
Woo-hoo! Cannot wait to see what you are doing today.
"Because...you know....I'm lazy" 🤣🤣 Girl, you are anything but lazy! Great to see Seth again. I have missed his videos. Great guy. I trust your taste by now Abby. I'm excited and I love it.
I agree! You are the least any person I know ❤️
Ask Jay about the color. He knows everything
And can't it be painted?
I definitely believe that what you do for the floor and vanity and accents will help
I think it DOES look like gray-ish beige. The second coat will brighten it up as the red underneath is causing a color as well. I believe it's going to be spectacular! Love your design choices! 🥰
Abby, it looks like a warm white to me. Maybe the dark gray (sheet rock/cement board?), on the walls at the front section of the bathroom, and on the ceiling is coming through the first coat and throwing the color off. I am sure with at least one more coat, you will be able to see the true color. I love your design choice for this bathroom! Spanish or Mediterranean looking to me, and I can't wait to see it all completed. It is going to be so beautiful! Love it! Great job, Seth! Have a beautiful, blessed night. 🙏
I think that a second coat will make a big difference....the orange behind is probably bleeding through with such a thin coat. It's going to look amazing when you're finished! 👍🏻👍🏻
Seth really did a great job 👏🏾
Message for Seth. Tell him it's time for a new video of the place he is fixing up.
Came to the comments to say , when is he going to do his house …
yea..........I really miss his videos. I was anxious to see him continue with it.
[]@@mayracoira455
I agree. 😃
Yes we do miss his updates hope all is well
I love the walls in the bathroom!
It looks great Abby....never seen this done before and loving it...wait until second coat is completed and dry!
I can't tell you how much I love that upstairs bathroom. I was one who suggested putting in a dormer, so you'd have space for the bathroom. You have created such a beautiful space from a simple idea. I am so in awe of your mad skills!!!
I love the desert sand😸
It looks totally fab! Also once you introduce some of your timber pieces I think you will achieve the look that you are after. It's gorgeous.
Looks great in my opinion.
Shower area cover cement board,,cover that with sealer,,,make sure the floor of shower is level have fun ...tile your done
I would think , looking at the product that it is very much applied like the old plastered homes. Of course plastered homes was painted and or in some cases wall paper, but you certainly dont have to leave it the color it is.
I LOVE the color! As it dries & with more coats I think it will look amazing! Great idea for a bathroom wall finish! Seth is amazing! You are so lucky to have him & Jay!
Let the cement dry well before you judge the color. It should lighten when it dries.
You and Seth
The color of the light you install will make a difference in the look and feel of the room. You probably would not be happy with a bright cool white overhead light. You need a warm white. Look into it. Lighting changes the paint color and character of a room. It makes a big difference.
It reminds of venetian plaster, kind of Italian looking. ☺️
Looks good. I see the brown tones. It dried lighter. Love it!
The pink is reflecting you know.
Hey, Seth!!! Good to see you! 😊
No nails in the walls for hanging anything?? But, maybe you're fine with that!! It's a cool idea, tho!!
To me, it looks a bit beige/off white. Maybe another coat will be your answer. I don't see gray at all, but that's probably the camera!! I like the idea!! 💕
Kinda reminds me of Adobe .I Love it. I Love the color.
It looks like a cool color honey. Don’t worry? Be happy.
Thanx for sharing Abby.😃
Looking so beautiful ❤️.
Love it. Has an organic natural feel.
Abby you aren’t sure you like it, I can tell in your voice. When you love something that’s done in the house you are so excited. Maybe the last coat with no colour added will be the white your looking for 🤞!
Work in progress - it was very gray when it was wet. I think as you get the second or third coat it's going to give that clean Mediterranean look to it.
PG here Happy 4ty of July. Microcement is brand new to me! I love it. Accents will make all the diffference. Mabey small amounts of tiles in all kinds of acent oitems, porcelian, tiolet, mirror, etc.
So great to see Seth again. Wish his adorable family had made an appearance too. Bathroom looks great!
Use colored lightbulbs or LED strip lighting that changes colors to contrast the micro cement.
Looking great you have good people to help you 😊
The color will probably change somewhat as it dries, and with the second coat… The different color in the underneath layer will affect it until you have enough coverage.
I use, “Daylight” tone bulbs. It is the brightest.
I was thinking the same thing. Right now it looks prison like
It’s all looking so beautiful ❤
This is looking nice. Very unique.
Maybe put some on a board or something, let it dry then seal it to see how the color changes?
lighting will make a big difference!
From my view it has a creamy tint to it. It’s really nice.
Lol "if you hate it" 😂 🤣🤣🤣 "keep it to yourself"🎉😂🤣 beautiful bathroom color...when will your friend Zach's wife be in your videos or in their videos
It looks great
I live in NorCal and I have never heard of this. It looks really nice.
It looks like Seth is a Venetian plasterer.!
Beautiful work.
Love, love, love the bathroom 🎉❤
Looks great😮 wow!😊❤
I think it looks great!
That Seth - wow!
I’m sure the color tone will change once you put a fancy cute snazzy globe and a fancier bulb. 😊
Since there are going to be 3 coats, wait for the colors that each coat brings. It’s rather difficult to determine the color right now . I like your wait and see attitude. 😊
Light and colorful artwork and white floor tiles (say Moroccan style) will change the personality. PS, I would use old gold/brass faucets etc in there.
It’s gorgeous!! Love it!! 💙🤍💙🤍
So my mom used to teach finishes and used to have a sample board that was the desert sand color and it was much closer to a terra cotta color. I would call the company to make sure that you got the right color. If it’s the same color t that’s online, lighting isn’t going to make that much of a difference.
I think it looks lovely -- Im watching video on my computer that has a large white background and your room most definatly looks a warm light cream color -- I think with another coat it will be even richer tone -- very nice look In my opinion -- I dont see grey industrial -- It is a more Spanish or Adobe vibe
Ooo the sound, like nails on a blackboard!!
Ive seen this done on several spaces.. super pretty and high end Abby.. you will love it!
Looks light tan ! I like it !! Second coat may be the color your looking for .
It looks more brown than gray but I love it 🎉❤❤
Looks good
if you do a second coat of the cement add a little bit of cream or off-white color to the cement. They do make dye for cement. Cement always dries to a light grey unless you add a dye to it for color. there is also the option of painting it. On my screen it looks washed out, so the grey is not blaring. It looks very pale. Either way the light color helps to brighten up the room.
Looks like really hard work.
Love the idea though! Looks like an Italian bathroom
Yes sir, Yes sir, Three bags full.
Good enough for a Manhattan Penthouse Apartment, I would say.
Hello from rocky mid-coast, Maine, US.....
I love it.
I watched another DIYer do this and she mentioned that it was much darker when wet and it dried much lighter which was closer to the color she wanted as well. She did three coats too...but she did sand lightly between coats so not sure if that will help you with the texture. Basically, the sand was just to knock down any high spots that are more than you wanted.
Its beautiful! Reminds me of old world plaster!
I would suggest that you take some of your towels, rug, and wall decor and place them in the room in different areas. Sometimes having another color in the room makes the walls look a different color.
Hello to Seth. Good to see him. Would love an update on his fixer upper. Take care & be safe. Hope the family & furbabies are well.
I love it cant wait to see it completed. It comes across as cream to my eye😊
Abbie enjoy the way it is for now and let time be in its place then make the changes !.
❤😊it looks like a Mediterranean color to me. I like it❤😊. Perfect for a spa look😎and if it’s self cleaning 😅so to speak even better❤😊
Watching your video & you standing there with that white dress with gray strips makes me think the room matches you. Get some extra paint from your home & paint a piece of cardboard. See how it looks against the walls. Brown tint your mom sees might be the color of the floors bouncing off onto the walls. A white sheet thrown on the floor will help as well to determine if I’m right. It’s neat stuff. Looking forward to the finished product. 😊
It definitely looks more cream colored on camera. Im loving the color so far.
Try programmable light bulbs such as Philips Hue...you can change the color with the phone app
It looks beautiful the way it is. Leave it.
Hi Seth ❤ Add the second and third coat if necessary but I think you will be very happy with the finishing touches. I don’t see gray 🤷♀️
I like it (Spanish look), I do hope it's as easy to clean like you mentioned the soap scum slides off, not sure how that works. But if not I think you're have to scrub it down with a brush. It definitely got a lot lighter after it dried.
Another step closer to finishing your dream home.Hope you are finishing by September as weather starts getting cooler in The North Country.
I think this color is absolutely beautiful
I'd finish the process to the texture you like and let it cure for a week. Sounds like a win to me and with time curing you will be more clear on what you want. Too early right now.
It looks good it kinda looks beige It’s a play on color but when you start dressing the room with the rest of the stuff like the tile curtains, it will blend in with those things.
