Bold, Black Vintage Home Paint Job - Salvaged Mobile Home Rebuild

[@gigigo126]

From an 82 year old great grandmother, who through her whole life chose shades of beige for whatever needed painting, I congratulate you. It is definitely vintage because that blue is seen on vintage travel trailers of that era. I so enjoy your family and your videos. You make me smile!

[@StephenCarroll-bn3od]

We love the two tone color. We love your videos 😊😊❤😂❤

[@armidaperez5360]

3 tones 😁

[@sharonsardeson7992]

Love it!!!!! Great family team work as usual and good music. Mobile home looks AWESOME! ❤ Smart move to cover the blades....less clean up....atta girl Ashley for thinking of that!❤

[@ratdogtaylor-qf1lp]

That paint job is cool, it looks great!!!!! I love the jobs that you two do on everything, you go the extra mile to change it if you don't like what you did first and I appreciate that. There's nothing like doing a job over again it's just so hard that second time so hats off to you both. Job well done !!!!!!!!

[@chamtj]

Fantastic! I was not expecting these colors. How awesome!!

[@olddude7401]

The color gives the trailer sort of a “Frank Lloyd Wright” style, incredibly unique!!!

[@pamboone6921]

Ummm no,,I also have to disagree!

[@sharonrobledo136]

Now I’d call this color scheme vintage/retro. It really does work with the home, great surprise!

[@sammi9985]

Ohhh, That looks so vintage. Very Cool!! You all rock!!!

[@kimberlyrudolphcap1789]

I absolutely love the color scheme!

[@Medard1947]

Bravo! Perfect 1960's Floridian Kitch! Brilliant!💙

[@pamelakolberg7771]

Looks Mid-Century Modern and I just love the colors!

[@PalmTreeGirl-vm1xe]

It looks like FLORIDA!! Lol. It has an awesome "tropical " feel. I must admit, I was shocked at first, with the black....but it has grown on me and I love it with the blue. Nice job as always guys!

[@diyfferent]

Thanks!

[@beverleymartin1881]

That video really show how much work can be done in just a few days .That grin you have Doug, when you do something (sneaky) is priceless. Belle is really growing up ,and is part of the unit now,she is not going to surprise anyone by doing so well in her future endeavours, which we are all looking forward to. ❤.

[@oreobenavidez953]

Awe I loved it all Wednesday Addams black 🖤 yay no outdated shutters looks really 😎

[@oliviafox3605]

Teamwork makes the dream work! AWESOME!

[@detectordoriebrumm2469]

Definitely vintage! Love the color combo! It’s really cool how the windows all but disappear ❤

[@dluxsolutionsathome5162]

I think I’m most excited about this color!

[@dluxsolutionsathome5162]

I have loved my black board and baton with black windows.

[@dluxsolutionsathome5162]

It’s brilliant 🎉

[@DoraDominguezCarey]

Greetings from Texas. The house colors are actually quite nice. It reminds me of the art-deco architecture you see when visiting Miami. The colors are stark but apropos for your environment. Congrats on thinking outside the box - as you usually do. Doug and Ashley, you two are amazing. Blessings and good karma to the four of you. Hugs from Midland, Tx.

[@lkhfun6575]

No apologies! This little mobile home is saying "I am proud of what I am," and shows it off. It makes me smile.

[@mandyleeson1]

I never mentioned it to you guys, but secretly thought that this old mobile home was a lost cause when you first took it on. I’m so happy you’ve proved me wrong. Through your hard work and perseverance, this home is going to have a new life and be useful for many years to come. The paint job is terrific and you are all doing a fantastic job.

[@ShushLorraine]

My husband kept saying the same thing. He just sees their videos briefly, as he walks by to get to work on one of his own fix up and repair projects. I will be glad to see what he thinks as time goes on. They are doing a great job.

[@tamaramarion7830]

I couldn't agree more about the blue accent - it's like a delightful pop of color that brings the whole space to life! Mid-century modern interior - it's the perfect blend of classic/vintage and contemporary.

[@marymisdom3955]

Are you sure thats the same mobile home? Heehee. I love that Florida shade of blue. Perfect crisp upbeat colors. What a pleasant surprise!

[@karenmorse7031]

I LOVE black houses!!!! And the blue adds a touch of vintage to it. I hope you add a covered porch with wood posts!!!

[@anisebutler5220]

I thought the black was a bad idea because of how black soaks up heat. Sounds like you have that covered and I’ve learned to trust your design ideas. The white trailer you trimmed in red taught me that.

[@janemj3467]

Amazing beautiful paint job ❤it

[@heidik-lady8135]

Was not sold on the black BUT... with the white & blue blocking, it's stunning. Makes me excited to see where that leads on the interior styling. 👍🏆

[@eviefieseler1093]

I hear that house happily saying, "Wow! Look at me NOW!" I love it! Congrats on reaching this amazing milestone, guys! So exciting!

[@maggiesue4825]

Oh, my goodness, what a transformation! This ain't no run-down, ready-to-junk trailer any more. She's a beaut!! If mobile homes could preen, she'd be doing it, and she's the star of the neighborhood now! Don't know if you're planning a porch for the front door, but a covered porch with natural-stained wood and hefty posts would really set this old girl off!! Great choice of color, and great job done!

[@justkenny6474]

The painting brought back memories. The first video of yours I saw made me a huge fan. You guys were painting a red section on a white mobile home. Then it rains and the red runs and you just moved on and fixed it, no drama, just moved forward. I have so much respect for your take on life.

[@anitablades6033]

Ah, memory's I've been with you from the start. So glad your out for the cold. I left Indiana, but where you were was so cold long than Indiana. I did Oklahoma.

[@MarkSullivan-n6e]

Doug and Ashley, It’s nice to see how your family pulls together.

[@jjjacer]

nice, makes an old mobile home actually look modern. although with all the work your putting into it, it basically is a new mobile home in an older shell

[@darondatoole7439]

You all remain absolutely magnificent. Keeps me transfixed.

[@louroberts5567]

Vintage? Nope. Modern? Nope. Weird? Nope. It's DIYfferent!😁 I think it looks GREAT! Can't wait to see it all done!

[@linnaellis212]

I know whatever you do is done thoughtfully and the work is always first class. Excellent choices.

[@therealcraigsutton2740]

Ms Ashley is always thinking of a easier & better way!! Mobile home is looking Amazing Mr Doug & Ms Ashley! Awesome to see Maverick & Ms Belle helping out! Great color choice, 💯

[@suzannetaylor9110]

Retro, that’s what it looks like to me. Some people really are into retro design. Looks great!👍

[@acupoftea8371]

I threw my hands in the air and said: YES .... YES .... YES !!! The choice in colour is FANTASTIC...

[@pattybishop8016]

Omg! I love love love that pop of blue! The whole exterior looks fabulous! Can’t wait til the next video!

[@edwinanixon5726]

Ok. Love the blue!!! That looks fantastic!!!! 😎😊😍

[@cynthiahoffman8683]

The color combination looks fantastic

[@aslinndhan]

I like the charcoal colour. Very modern and clean

[@susielecompte2017]

Love it! Looks retro 50’s to me with the teal added in. It would be so cool to go with that theme inside!

[@AfterTheRains]

I have to say, I was hoping for grey but it is certainly DIYfferent.

[@deniseovaldson22]

The Paint LOOKS so COOL ! Nice touch with the Turquoise!

[@TashaOneal-l8h]

This the only channel on utube that don't beg for money in use there subscribers no drama

[@jeantaylor9119]

Wow love it. Looks so good. Good choice. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@matthewkyle9872]

My neighbor painted her house black, which I originially thought was to much, but she also planted a garden and when the plantings got going, everything popped and the house softened and now I love it.

[@chrissnyder5584]

When you said " Bet you weren't expecting that", I had to laugh, that's exactly what I said to myself. It looks GREAT! Love the colors!

[@sharondoan1447]

I am so impressed by your painting techniques!

[@Clothis64]

Usually, I must admit that I do not like this color but there, the combination with black makes the mobile home beautiful! Well done ! 👍

[@51Lorie]

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bold, daring, GENIUS!!! I absolutely LOVE IT ! (I'm sitting here clapping and whooping!) IT IS SOOOOO COOL!!

[@diyfferent]

Thanks!!

[@sharonrobledo136]

Coming in with a thumbs up! It’s good to see ya’ll I’m sure this will be transformative

[@wdjones4735]

It’s very classic retro chic! Maybe a bit of Mid-Century modern/Palm Springs vibe👍🏻I love the choices you made. Thanks for sharing👏🏻👏🏻🙂

[@debrajones8926]

Really love the three colors .

[@DeHeatin]

Wow, the choice of black with blue paint on the trailer renovation is absolutely genius! It adds such a dynamic and fun vibe to the whole setup. It's refreshing to see something different that still keeps it interesting. Great job!

[@shelly937]

That's why I love you guys Diyfferent❤

[@otakelblanchemanor0659]

Love it! Wow!! Bold choice!! Fantastic!! I love black and dark gray home and the pop of blue really sets it apart!!

[@ethelryan257]

I am absolutely fascinated by the strong reactions to your choice of colors. It's your house and your choice! Goodness. Of all the major projects you've undertaken on this house and property so far, this is, after all the easiest to undo, should it turn out these colors weren't ideal. Or, to retouch, should they fade over time. Personally, I think it fits this mobile home perfectly, and I'm impressed by how well the white, blue and black work together.

[@joannemcmurray2155]

It looks so much better already. You two really work your magic on a project!

[@EmilyBarton96]

WOW! I absolutely love it so much!!! Love the black & white , and the blue looks so amazing

[@barbcarter690]

That share of blue was late 50’s,early 60’s. Mid century modern for the win.

[@pamelabennett612]

Paint color gives me "mid century modern" vibes.

[@jacquelinejenkins8]

Yes I see the difference Doug and Ashley it's a pop of color and it's beautiful. Love Y'ALL take care ❤❤❤❤

[@ms1212100]

Wow..the reveal did it for me...looks so amazing, contemporary...One of a kind!!! Well Done!!!

[@marinahyre2213]

I love it. Looks both modern and retro.

[@lydiaoboyle7541]

Love it, looks vintage 😍

[@oldgoat7856]

Looks great, you are a hard working couple. It fun to watch for what comes next.

[@graceannwestcottfuller5434]

Beautiful.. what a great job you did!

[@LetyHrndz07]

Omg!! That splash 💦 of color! Black white turquoise I absolutely love it!! 😍 great great choices!!❤👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩

[@jmarie9801]

I love it. I say it looks vintage with that pretty blue.

[@Mari-B]

I love it!!🙂👍🏻👋🏻 So unique!!💙

[@js35777]

Looks incredible!!! Perfect for Florida!! 😍😍😍

[@js35777]

You should paint the back door the blue color!!!

[@kateslippers8289]

The splash of color reminds me of your bus. I do like it. Makes me smile and perfect Florida color. We lived in Marion County, Florida for awhile and Florida colors are good memories.

[@metamud8686]

Black exterior paint absorbs about 70-90% more heat (than white paint which reflects sun light much better), then transfers that heat to the inside of your home, so I'm always impressed when people own up and still decide to paint their house black, living in a hot climate. Insulation and barrier will help a bit, so I guess we'll see ("feel") how this turns out, once all is said and done. Can't wait for the results. Theory vs practice!

[@diyfferent]

The reflectix heat barrier we'll be installing blocks over 95% of radiant heat, so it's like the black isn't even there. It won't be a problem. We've used radiant barriers and they are a great product.

[@pinkmosquito22]

​@@diyfferentI can't wait for this installation! I'm super curious to see it installed!

[@nancydonahue4256]

Love the color combination! Great job!

[@kathykelly-gc5cl]

Love.. Love.. Love the colors!! It truly looks like Florida! Y'all r doing a great job! I really hope the underpinning will cover that big rusty i-beam under the bay window. If not, please paint it black.

[@shellywelsh2316]

Retro!! Love it!! The paint blades were a great idea, sure beats taping.

[@duncancottam2533]

Huge difference, looks so good.

[@susanerskine2264]

As always you two blow me away! I. Love. It! That pop of blue took it to another level. The paint shields were genius. Just fabulous. ❤❤❤

[@teepeeX]

It's absolutely stunning, great choice of colour, definitely second coat of black.. well done 😊

[@jockeypicker]

I love what you folks did with the outside. I think it falls in the "vintage" catagory. Can't wait till you get started back on the inside. I'm the one that told you about the porch swing and still mean it if you're ever come through, or near, the Ky. area. I've actually forgot where you were on your regular house. Looking forward to some more videos on it's work.

[@spidyr2k]

👍👍 Now I am very curious to see the skirting choices 😉

[@virginiadownie9206]

Love it!!! Keep with the vintage theme inside too. I redid the outside of my house with dark forest green, none could see my vision until it was finished and now everyone loves it.

[@sewingbarbie6136]

It feels Floridian and vintage with a modern twist. I once had an apt. With all turquoise appliances and a turquoise sink! It was beautiful.

[@galemakutty]

It Looked So BEAUTIFUL and then came that BLUE

[@carolsproessig1951]

Much, much, calmer better looking, then all black

[@marthawalker2111]

Absolutely love your color choices

[@johnpiegzik298]

Looks very retro I love it

[@letasparks2485]

Good Job Guy's!!! I feel your EXCITEMENT!!! Also love the tape idea on the blade!! Y'all should be SOOOO PROUD OF YOURSELVES!! I sure am PROUD OF Y'ALL!!!!!!!! ❤ I CALL IT LOVELY!!! 🥰

[@lindahelmbrecht1248]

Love the background music…..I’ve you all too. Mobile home is looking great!

[@woodrowwesterfield432]

WOW!!!!! I love the color! You Made such a great choice and I love you videos. Keep up the hard work it will pay off.

[@joshabby4268]

Love the colors gives it a vintage twist

[@crystalmorgan1959]

Love the pop of color. The black and white helps make the color stand out.

[@CitizenL-l5x]

Love the MCM vibe. Skirting will definitely be the cherry on top. Keep the decor simple and finishes sleek.

[@lesserpoo]

Wow!! Didn’t see that color comin’! 😂 very vintage!

[@aliceandrade1270]

Looks awesome! Maybe 50’s vintage

[@little_one]

Oh my gosh I love it. It is so close to what I was imagining just a lighter shade of blue. It's so cool! Y'all did a fantastic job.

[@pattycarosi9618]

Doug, Ashley and Belle you did a beautiful job . I love the black and the blue color really adds to it and brings it all together. I personally am a fan of black paint in the right places around our home.

[@ApostolicGrandma]

Definitely a Retro Florida style. nice job! You can paint it whichever color scheme you choose. In the end, it's all about the process and doing the things you love ❤️

[@LawandaFinch]

It looks very vintage! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Can’t wait to see what you all do with the inside.

[@NoRmAsJeAnS82]

I love it!! Excellent💚

[@diyfferent]

Thanks!

[@kebl1965]

First let me say that the paint job turned out great! I would never have chosen the black and teal…I actually think it’s ugly. But I also recognize that if we all had the same taste in color, it would be a very boring world. You do you and don’t worry about what others think about your choices.

[@jonchalk3855]

Those panel tools Ash and Belle are using are amazing. Painting the exterior walls sure makes a difference. Love it. The blue color you selected is way better than the baby blue. Now it looks less like an old mobile home. It is now more of a modern mobile home.

[@shadedflower9530]

Your color choices are a pleasant surprise! I can envision this with the skirting on, a deck, beautiful flowers blooming and a few ornamental, flowering trees .... it'll be a wonderful palette when you're finished. So looking forward to see what you do inside! ❤ 🖤🤍🩵🌳🌷🪻🌻🌺

[@dmartin4295]

Your vision turned out awesome! 😊
