This DID NOT go as planned!! | Two-Tone Limewash Paint | DINING ROOM MAKEOVER

Published 2024-06-23
It’s finally time to start transforming this dining room!

The first project we need to tackle is painting the room and I’m currently obsessed with the look of Limewash paint. I’ve done it once before and it turned out amazing… but things didn’t go quite as smoothly this time around…

  • Your attention to the prep is amazing. It’s so important to the outcome and you prove that with every project!
  • Wow…I wasn’t feeling it with the first applications but I am loving the finished wall. It’s soft and delicate, earthy and organic
  • When I replaced my small bathroom drywall with purple drywall, I had to put 4 coats of the most expensive KILZ primer over it. I painted the room a bluish gray which would’ve been compatible but I was so puritan about the whole thing. It’s just best to have that perfect white surface to start with than to be disappointed later. Thanks for your videos. They get my juices going when I don’t feel like doing anything. You don’t even bitch and moan the whole time like I do. Or at least not while the camera is on. 😄
  • What an excellent example of what true and honest processes are supposed to be like. You get to the point of Mistake or Dissatisfaction/Disappointment and then you feel your way into the Correction. What an amazing result! ☀️
  • So worth the pain and patience! Three coats in I was like ok ok I’m not liking this…but man was it ever worth the wait. Thank you for not cutting the struggles. That is why we do it ourselves no one else has the same vision in their head. And the clip of you repeating “trust the process” “trust the process” priceless! TFS

    Stunning. Like the finished look. Blends well with the kitchen. Kudos.

    There's something soothing about this channel.

    You remind me of Lone fox when he made his rental apartment so beautiful the owner told him not to change anything. When he moved out he loved it so much ....youre doing a great job.👍👍

    I applaud your persistence! The color definitely makes the space feel larger. I'm assuming you have an idea for the A/C cabinet but wanted to share something I recently saw in a FB post. Someone took a tall vintage secretary, removed the glass and back, added caning on the doors. The upper portion with doors concealed the A/C unit and the lower portion was used for bar accessories and storage. Obviously this would require sourcing a piece with dimensions that would fit your space but I thought of you when I saw the image.

    I really like the length of your videos, how much you speak, and all the camera angles you use along with the usage of music while you speak. Continue to do you. Some people have shortening attention spans, because of rampant short form content nowadays, and it shows. I have ADHD and I can focus without issue throughout your entire video. On another note, your choice to use both was clever and took me by surprise. The first coat of el matador made the glass fixtures look like they were floating, as I feared. You made a great point about undertones, so mixing solved both of your issues; it turned out great! I'm looking forward to the rest of it. :)
  • Love love love your channel and what you're doing! Also,I love all that you have to say.

    Your stick-to-it-ness has made all the difference in your dining area! The look is very open and classy, bringing all the adjoining areas together, culminating in their being MORE than the sum of their parts. And THAT’S the best result.
  • I love your channel so much!! Everything about it! You're fun to watch, you're perfectly groomed, you're charming, you're relatable and I love how well you explain what you're doing. You're dining room looks great, you're patience really paid off. How did you learn to do all this? You're a master carpenter, a professional painter, an amazing seamstress (seam-sir? seamster?), a chef/baker, an interior designer and you have impeccably good taste! Whew. Oh, I forgot one, a talented videographer. I love your channel! 😊
  • @jehnim29
    It turned out so great!! I had never heard of the cloud technique so even though it did work in this case I am glad to have learned something 😊

    Went through this when sponging was the "thing". Woke up & cried because it looked like excrement on my wall Finally lightened the color & added BARELY noticeable hints of gold & viola, THANK GOODNESS the 4 days of layering worked out LOVE your results! Will be using some of your ideas as I'll be moving soon & now know how to use peel and stick and keep my security deposit 😅

    Could totally feel the stress and anxiety from here but it all worked out beautifully! I think the red paper protecting your shelves, floor and cupboard may have contributed to the paint looking even more pink. I’m so happy for you that it worked out. It’s looking great and I’m excited to see more ❤
