    I love that you are living your life exactly in your way. Nowadays I’ve been thinking “when I’m 85 and grey what would I tell my younger self” and that’s what helps me stay on track to worry less and live life for myself, how I want to and not for others or by others standards. Your channel embodies this to me so thank you for your content💞

    I suffer from mold poisoning so I can say this from experience. If you have mold, you should bleach it after removal or get mold specialists. It must be removed. I can’t say but green mold can be sometimes ok and won’t affect your health. Black mold is extremely toxic. You can’t just scrape it and paint over it. That releases mold spores. Doesnt matter how healthy you are. If mold continues to exist your health will deteriorate. You’ll start to notice when your head is sore or you have nasal issues esp sneezing. Also you must find the source of the mold. There’s probably a hole that’s causing the leakiness. If you don’t, the walls are eventually going to turn moldy and damp again. You can check the dampness of your room via company.

    Your room turned out amazing! You did a lot of hard work! My concern is the mold that was not removed before you painted. That mold is sitting there and I saw when you were showing the cracks in the bottom trim, there was also mold is in there. That's a very serious indicator that there is mold not just under the paint, but in the walls as well. I recommend getting a mold inspector to come and look because even if it doesn't look like much, mold spores can be deep in the wall, and can make you and your pets extremely sick. Just want to make sure you and your fam don't get sick! Love your videos btw!

    As a couple of people have mentioned below, you really must get rid of the mould before you paint your walls/ceilings other wise it will come back through and it's very nasty stuff, you don't want to be breathing the spores from that in. When you do other rooms in your house go to B&Q and buy some Ronseal 3 in 1 mould killer and follow the bottle instructions, you may need more than one application to get it all off, then once that's done buy some Ronseal 6 year anti-mould paint (this contains a fungicide to help prevent the mould from regrowing) it's quite expensive but well worth it, don't be tempted to buy the cheap stuff, or you'll probably have to redo it. Make sure you open your windows when painting to let the fresh air in. Quick edit: forgot to mention you can get a telescopic extension pole to put your roller on when you do the high ceilings.

    This was the most hilarious renovation video I’ve seen yet.😂 I’ve done renovation and interior decorating myself and it is a LOT of work and sweat, even if you know what you’re doing. Kudos to you for being fearless and jumping into the unknown. Someone posted concern about the mold, and yes that is something to legitimately be concerned with, since mold can make you very sick if not treated properly. I also recommend purchasing a dehumidifier and running it as needed because it’s obvious there is a problem with damp. I lived in a 1920s bungalow that was chronically damp due to the crawl space beneath the house. It kept the house cold, my five parrots shivering and miserable, and affected my lungs. The dehumidifier worked miracles! My lungs and parrots thanked me. For your first really down and dirty renovation, you did great-but yes, please treat those other moldy walls before painting. You may find this room will have to be done again because the mold will return.

    @pitita585 Рік тому +23

    Megan first, I want to say I LOVE this video for what it is. The before and after are incredible and I think you did such a fantastic job. But I am SO concerned for the sorts of mold and toxins you may have exposed yourself to while stripping the wallpaper and sanding the walls as well. There was mold on the walls and you mentioned your salt lamp was leaking which means that it’s picking up moisture in the air. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but mold is so harmful to breath in and the exposure to whatever was in the dust could leave you vulnerable to long term health effects ☹️ I hate to seem like I’m bringing down the energy of your video with this comment, but I’ve come to really care about you and I just want you to be okay! I know it can be a bit pricy, but I wonder if getting a mold kit and sending it out to be tested might be a good idea. You can also buy a hygrometer to tell you the humidity level in the room it’s in. 45-50% humidity is ideal and any higher might warrant the purchase of a dehumidifier. Especially in your bedroom. Anyway seriously. Great job with the decor. Love your videos always
    🙏🏼♥️

    So excited that this video is finally out! You did an amazing job! And maybe someone else already commented on it but the plastic things in the wall seem like anchors which keep screws "locked" into the wall so that whatever is being held by the screw doesn't pull the screw out the wall and fall down. Usually best for screws holding heavy stuff :) typically you can push them backwards "into" the wall so they fall down behind the drywall since they're made to not easily come out from the front

    I've been so excited for this and as always you did an incredible job! But just one thing I need clarified bc I live in Japan and things are different here-- here you have to own a house to be able to do any renovation. For example if you leave marks on the walls, when you move out they charge you for damaging the property. So if you're renting you can't even use a nail in the wall to hang a picture. Can someone tell me how things work in the UK as far as renting and renovation??
