Aesthetic white?

Excellent video

Anyone who has all their books turned around backwards… needs to rethink giving advice

I hate color. It scares me. Can you do a video on the 60-30-10 ratio/rule on a physical colorwheel please. I need to know how and where to find the colors.

Benjamin Moore is calling to me. Thank you for sharing.

Nice job !

Love your videos! Always very helpful. I'm not a big fan of the "signature" colors like Cinnamon Slate, but I am using colors that go with it. I am loving warm colors that are not primary, but shaded, and more complex, like brown-reds, caramel colors and terra cotta, and olive greens and warm whites. A warm grey like BM Rodeo that is not a cool grey can work if you need to tie in existing grey fixed elements. As far as blues, I am not a fan of Valspar Encore. I think that too primary and intense. I am loving moody blues like Wine dark by F&B, and warmer blues like BM Stained Glass in the 2025 palette. I am also loving dusty blues combined with coral accents.

Beautiful whites!👍❤️😊

Painting often requires repainting. I’d certainly think twice about painting the floor.

I guess you can just paint everything

Why do designers always turn books backwards? What's wrong with proudly displaying your books. sometimes the covers are like album covers and are great art pieces. Other art pieces are displayed without turning them backwards. It looks so blah to look at book pages. That is not how we display books in our home. Of course this is my personal opinion.

wow.

This was a terrific video. I am doing the same exact things.💯. Thanks.

When replacing a thermostat please make sure it is disposed of properly! There are still old, mercury-containing ones out there. I replaced one a few years ago. I made arrangements to take it to our city's hazardous waste drop off site.

nice! I really love it !

wow amazing.

If you update, go with high quality materials especially paint. Quality paint from a paint store actually cost less than cheap paint which you have to use twice as much to cover the area.

Love it !

Amazing video.

nice!

nice!

Very nice!

this video is such a breath of fresh air!! I used to think my house would only look pretty if it looked like the beautiful super expensive homes. However, I have a ranch style home and I'd love to keep many elements from the original design of the house. I have already painted the walls and changed all the light fixtures and wow! what a change that makes! Anyway, thank you for the video and all of your suggestions!

I loved the pink and green tile in the bathrooms.minloved tge green pedestal sink.

I like dated homes better than granite and Industrial looking kitchens.

I have painted over tile in a powder room. It is a lot of work to do it right. But anyone who has ever been in a bathroom where the tile was painted over the wrong way, will understand the importance of doing it right. As much as you hate the colour of the tile, badly painted tile is worse. First, it has to be spotless. Then you put on your first coat of primer designed for glass. It is expensive. Wait 24 hours. Sand lightly. Repeat 2 more times. Then you can paint the tile. Finally finish with at least three coats of Varithane. Four is better. It looked great and it held up over the years. However, you can not paint tiles in a shower. It might look good for a short while, but soon you will be dealing with peeling paint and it will be a disaster. You also have the same issues when you paint a floor. I have painted the tiles under my wood stove. Looks great, and as we are not walking on it, staying great looking. However, because the stove had to be move forward because of new rules, we have a small tile section on the main floor in front of the rise. It gets walked on and needs regular touchups to keep it looking good. It had already been. painted over, before we bought the house, prison grey, so I sanded, then went to work. Bathroom floors get even more traffic. And they get wet. Same issue as the shower.

nice!

Thank you, so helpful 🌺xxx

Great video and images for reference! We are about to merge into restoring our home because we found the original wood siding under the ugly vinyl. Any recommendations? Our house faces east. We don’t want the white to look beige but we are also scared of the white looking like a primer. We are looking into Alabaster, White Dove, Snowbound, Simply White

nice.

New interior doors turned out to be the most impactful upgrade we made to our fixer upper. We also got new doors and drawer fronts for every cabinet in the house and then painted them white. Huge improvement for the money but the sanding and painting was a major chore that took forever to do right. We also put in new windows and outside doors and upgraded very old appliances. Unfortunately we’ve now lived in house over 30 years and it really needs a gut job on the kitchen, baths and flooring.

Way to wreck those classic tile bathrooms and fireplaces. 🤮 Sure, paint some of the wood. Personally, I prefer it, but if it’s all brown walls and floors, break it up. I’m all for updating doors, hardware, and lighting, even painting doors, but some of the “modern” updates will look dated in 5-10 years where the wood, tile, etc. are timeless classics.

I was with you until you said to paint your bathroom tiles, tile floors, and kitchen counter tops! How long will that last without it looking like a disaster? A month? 🤦‍♀️

Im never painting my kitchen cupboards. Nothing worse than cheesy dark cupboards with a horrible white paint job only on the outside.

Horrible new taps. But then nice tap costs $2000 in Australia.

Good tip on how to fake wider baseboards. Carpets are foul. First task is to lift and get rid of carpets. Then refinish the hardwood floor with a non degassing finish which does not yellow.

White is cheap. Looks cheap. Indeed painting timber and sandstone with white paint was done by the white trash who bought my beautiful home.

So if I go to crwys Road they will know what colour I am talking about, right?

Those new window treatments look ugly though. Very few blinds actually look better than curtains.

I've done all your suggestions, & indeed the house looks fresher. I also added plantation shutters throughout & changed the light fixtures.

WoodPrix woodworking plans are nice for that.

So helpful

Totally agree. The fake wider skirting board look can also be done to the cornices too. 1.2 m timber panelling in a gloss paint are practical and give a cottage look. Stands up better to toddlers, pets and vacuum cleaners

I’m 75 so I have seen changes over the years. I must say that I am tired of grey grey white white grey grey etc.

wow it so amazing

wow

How wonderful to see you again on KZbin!!! I enjoyed the video with all the examples you gave and I always get my creativity stirred-up. Thank you 🤗

Painting tile is the dumbest thing, it's temporary and will look like absolute crap in no time!

I have 30 videos on aging in place and an accessible home.

Great presentation! Thank you for enlightening and helping to convince my other half 😉
