    to take beautiful brick and paint it, especially white, always looks cheap and industrial. Reminds me of school.

      The dark color of the brick usually makes rooms look smaller, and red limits style options.

      If it looked more aged instead of fake brick it would’ve looked good. But it being a solid color ruined it

    Why is it such a trend to paint everything white?! It takes away all of the charm and uniqueness! After dealing with white walls and cabinets for years while renting, I want to have some color in my house!

    • @Ma5jay5dontxdoxthat
      @Ma5jay5dontxdoxthat 5 років тому +39

      But it's not a trend. It's an illusion to make a room look brighter, open and larger. It's also neutral, meaning if its rental, its easier to sell then a part with blue walls or green. It will actually turn a lot of people of. Plus its easier to design around. It easier to have bigger thing like the walls, floor, etc neutral and have piece like furniture, art, etc be louder, because it's easier to change them with your style, a lot harder for the other things if you want to change that. Btw this isnt by any means, telling you that white walls or lighter colors are the best for you, because its you're place and you can whatever you want, but why it's the best as a design choice to appeal to the general public.

    • @cazza649
      @cazza649 5 років тому +12

      Taylor Wilcox then don’t paint it white, this is just a tip, use colours from the same palet that compliment each other, white just makes a room look lighter

    • @mintie-verse3444
      @mintie-verse3444 5 років тому +2

      you could also use very light/pastel colors too, probably. i would say to avoid a pure white in most cases, but it boils down to choice, really

      I would never paint my walls white, but for the illusion of certain things or spaces to seem brighter I agree with what was said, it is easier and renter friendly for white walls. I rather go with a light grey to bright things up and put accent colors around that. But I am doing two tone colors for my cabinets, my space doesnt get alot of natural light so I must do lighter colors to account for the lack of light.

    Great one day diy projects
    A couple helpful pointers to make projects last
    The vinyl floor, should always have a top coat to protect pattern especially in traffic areas.
    Gutter project support board should always be primed with paint or stain especially out in the weather to prevent weathering
    Hope these extra steps helps keep your projects lasting longer.
    Constructively
    Thank You

  • @slightlycrookedworkshop
    @slightlycrookedworkshop 5 років тому +6

    Wow, the first two have a lot of problems. First, make sure your cabinets are solid wood and not veneer otherwise you could sand right through the veneer. You can't use any old paint or stain. You need some high quality stuff with an enamel hardener otherwise it will look like crap...not to mention that painting them with a brush is not a good way to do it.
    Buy a drawer handle drilling jig to put on the hardware...otherwise, good luck getting them lined up correctly.
    Your nail gun isn't set properly, the nails aren't shot into the wood all the way. You can see the heads sticking out. Also, use some wood glue in addition to the nails so things don't start separating.

    • @forevergogo
      @forevergogo 5 років тому +3

      Actually, Lindy....
      I'm very seriously considering building a firepit. For the most part- to burn bits of yard work trimmings and branch clippings. Maybe some organic trash to help speed up my composting so I can get some nice super rich soil going for the raised beds I'm building. That and the amount of sticks I have laying around needing bundling and all those dead palm leaves on the palm tree in the front... So much work to clip them all down and bundle them up. Better to just burn them, I think.
