Great job! For future reference: When you flop mud on the floor, let it dry and just pick up the chunk. Less mess and easier.

[@JeanneOlson-vv9tl]

I’m so proud of this generation of young women! I’ve tackled many jobs, and together my late husband and I renovated about 10 homes together. I stuck a paintbrush and screwdriver in my children's hands when they were young. And my youngest daughter isn’t afraid to tackle any repair or renovation. She also has a healthy respect for her limitations. Good going! Thanks so much.

[@eddiesoto6990]

My god, finally a real D.I.Y person that has taught me not to be afraid of trying. I applaud you. I just moved from the Bronx to upstate NY and want to create for my family and for myself. You have given me inspiration and hope. Thank you!

[@diytiff]

You are so welcome! I wish you good luck in your future projects ❤️

[@ellechance2344]

That’s what I said!! Her projects look like mine!! ‘This is WAY MORE work than I anticipated.” Ha! Fifty “tiny” setbacks before I can even get to the “bad scenario” i imagined. 😅 But perseverance and INGENUITY triumph!! 😅

Glad to know I'm not the only one who underestimates how much time and effort a DIY will take🤣

[@ejoyner]

And you learn after cleaning drywall dust for 3 weeks, that rubbing with a damp sponge til it's smooth vs sanding is a pro tip. Another pro tip: Liquid Sandpaper. Cheap as heck, a quart goes a really long way and no sanding cabinets. Redid all my kitchen cabinets with it; Kilz 2 and regular latex paint...easy, cheap and no noxious fumes! And no sanding!!!!

[@diytiff]

Thanks for the tips!

[@debrachapman60]

I love your channel. You make mistakes. You work through them, learning as you go. I love that you keep it real Tiff.

[@karenwinter7701]

Yes!!!

[@diytiff]

Thank you ☺️

[@T_Jonesy]

Just found your channel. As another female DIYer, I so appreciate you showing all the bumps in the road during your renovation. Nothing ever goes quickly and you always run into snags. Most of the time it's on the stuff that you think will be the easiest. I really enjoyed the humor in your video. Also, thought the editing was top notch. I've liked and subscribed. Cheers!

[@diytiff]

Aaww thank you so much 🥰

“I just got impatient and this is what happens” is literally my life 😂😂😂

You need to invest in a respirator! You are my hero - a very brave woman to tackle this. I look forward to next weeks video. Too bad you didn’t use the Stone Coat Countertop process for the top. Thank you!

[@kamiorange]

8:04 Yes!! Please get a respirator! Your lungs are valuable!

[@diytiff]

Yes I definitely need one. I think I have one but I gotta find it. Unfortunately no epoxy countertops on this one but maybe one day :)

[@no_peace]

They're $5!

Okay I'm old, they went up. They're $12 lol

Tiff I could sit and watch you remodel or create all day long!! You are really good at what you do! I’m so proud of all that you do and I love that you work with your Dad too!! You both have such great personalities and very humorous!!

[@Tinamarie10289]

You are seriously such an inspiration! My husband and I just spent our life savings on a down payment for our dream home. But there are a few things we want to change, hiring a contractor is expensive! So we plan on diying most of it! And I have been binge watching home diys and I have binged your channel specifically! You have giving me so many ideas and I love ittttg I'm so excited to get started

[@diytiff]

Congratulations on your new home! That’s super exiting I wish you luck on all your future projects. They are sometimes hard and frustrating but it will be worth it :)

Thanks 😆

I just found your channel. I think you're brave and thrifty. I think it's great that you tackled the project and found ways to complete what you wanted without spending so much money, especially when on a budget.

[@lynnetteackerman962]

I love the realness of your video. After taking on my own bathroom project there were parts that I could relate to!!!!

[@lindaroyal8161]

2-3 days to do a bathroom - ha ha ha, only in our wildest dreams! I'm in an older home and every quickie project "Always" uncovers a few hidden problems/issues to deal with, adding several days on the game plan. I always figure twice the time as I think it will take, so I'm not so disappointed. The bathroom is going to look so good - it already is such an improvement with the lighter walls. Love the cabinet color, I like sage greens. Looks like you're going for butcher block on the counter top, nice choice. It will match the shelves from the mood board and maybe the frames also. Very nice!

[@diytiff]

Thanks and yes i agree only in my wildest dreams a project I pick would be simple lol

[@thecozyreaderandbaker]

Electrician here, you can still center the light even though the stud is in the way! just use a pancake box and it should fit flush within the drywall and you can just screw it onto the stud

[@charlotte-m5d]

The color of the cabinet is so pretty.

[@diytiff]

[@southernfriedheathen994]

Pro tip - use All in One paint by Heirloom Traditions for all your cabinet and furniture painting projects. The adhesion quality is the best on the market. They even have paint for refinishing leather and vinyl furniture. It's amazing stuff!

[@diytiff]

Thanks for the tip, I might try it at some point :)

[@wilmervalles1509]

lol. I felt your pain. It's not easy doing a job by yourself. Great Job for completing it. It came out nice.

[@jenlockett92]

Currently watching this video and GIRL I am in love with you lol! I’m a female electrician & seeing you boss out this project and overcome every little side quest…I’ve never been into watching DIY because I can be so judgy, but I am thoroughly entertained and subscribed! You are an incredible woman! Keep kickin ass! ❤ Edit: nice execution with the junction box (pancake) for the vanity light! That’s exactly what I would have done and the prior electrician should have!

[@sadrera3593]

I picked that color for my kitchen along with a cutting board counter.

[@diytiff]

Nice!

[@millielove13]

Thank you for the video! I really like that the music wasn’t too loud and you were honest and realistic about the problems you came across along the way and how you went about fixing it. Been looking for a video like this for a long time! I don’t mid. The other but they fell saturated with influencer things and attitude. I personally prefer the way you do things ☺️ thanks

Love the colour of the sink cabinet. The makeover is so good

[@diytiff]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@priscillacordero8133]

I subbed today so I can keep track of your projects. I love DIYers who keep it real. I mentioned in one of your laundry room videos that I had started a pantry makeover that was taking longer than expected. A few hiccups and working only on weekend/days off. Well, it's going on month 4 😅 At least 2 cabinets are painted and installed and I have 3 shelf frames up. Slow and steady wins the race lol

[@diytiff]

You’re not alone lol that’s my projects usually go. Good luck with the rest 😁

[@ann-louisep7573]

[@shanoagunter8611]

And it shows it's ok to make a mistake as long as you do not give up. For newbies that is such a good reminder!

[@diytiff]

Thanks I’m glad you’re enjoying them :)

[@samanthamartin344]

I LOVE YOU!! I just found you on this video. OMG I am living your life. I am a lot older (~60) but I felt all of your exhaustion. When you started using the 5 min mud, I thought that’s probably not the best for the long seem. 20or 45 minute?? Yes I also learned the hard way. I’m taking a break from skim coating one of my bathrooms and laundry room. And I’m “resting” by watching you work. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos ❤

[@loriborelli9214]

The bathroom turned out BEAUTIFUL! YOU ARE A VERY TALENTED YOUNG LADY!!!!❤❤❤

[@leem200]

It is always longer than I think it is going to be. looking good so far. On to part two. Peace!

[@questionmark9819]

I have a tiny bathroom too and like you I painted it a light colour and I also hung some strategically placed mirrors and it brought the light in plus, made the room feel bigger. IMO some mirrors above the shower, on each side of the small window should be helpful.

[@diytiff]

Great idea!!

[@DorrieToth]

Anytime you paint laminate use a bonding primer. Home Depot and Lowes both have excellent bonding primers.

[@diytiff]

Thanks for the tip!

[@MelAtlNP]

I just adore you! You remind me of myself doing diy. Made me laugh….but you are better at it than I am and you inspire me!

[@theresaturnbow1550]

The stapler works better if you hold it further back on the handle, I learned this when I made frames for silk screens. 😊

The yoga for plumbers and painters comments were funny!!

Thanks for the inspiration. I'm taking notes because I need to redo our bathroom too. I absolutely love your choice of colors, especially the green!

[@diytiff]

Thanks! I love green 💚 good luck with you project when you start it :)

[@justanotherfan18]

Just found your channel, girl you and I are so much alike! I have done a lot of my own projects in the house. I have done the kitchen and bathrooms, and currently attempting the laundry room! I love the money saved, and the learning process, (mistakes made, a few...here and there) I totally get the times of laziness and impatience, those are the times that I made the mistakes!. Great Video! My downfall is a strength that you seem to have, I have no idea how to pull things together!! Color, textures, and details of design are not my strength. New Subscriber here.

[@diytiff]

Thanks and welcome to the channel! Putting things together can be challenging, I actually spend a lot of time browsing through Pinterest, IG or anywhere online looking for inspiration, sometimes it takes me months to land on the right design but I just keep playing around with it until it feels right :)

[@JessicaLee70]

Thank you for being down to earth! Your restroom looks great!!!

I’m starting to sand and repaint my kitchen cabinets. You’ve inspired me with your remodel, it’s coming out great! ❤

[@diytiff]

Awesome thanks and good luck with you project :)

[@SAJ_2021]

@diytiff Just so you know, your fixture above your mirror needs to have the romex terminated in a UL listed box. Also, I second the comment of investing in a good respirator. It is imperative to protect your lungs from caustic materials, vapors, and silica dust among other elements. Employ these safety standards and you're doing great work! 🙂

[@sharyn4271]

To reduce drywall dust, slightly dampen the drywall dust before sanding and use a wetted sanding block.

[@cindland]

We have about the same size guest bathroom. Same layout except the shower fixtures are on same size as toilette. (Weird for yours bc it usually goes by location of the water pipes-ours are all on the one side). We used to have sage green (like your cabinet color) walls, then we repainted the whole house for sale. It didn’t sell. The white walls on a small space shows all the marks and fingerprints and dust. And you feel like the walls are inches from your nose. I went back to a dusky greenish gray with a bit of tan mixed in. The walls now “recede” with the darker color and you get a more cavernous and spa like feel to it. But changing a room makes it feel fresh and new. I’m sure it’ll be lovely for a long while to come.

[@rebeccasladky1138]

You are doing so great! I love your videos because I don't have a fix it bone in my whole body, even changing lightbulbs are a challenge! So don't worry about how long your project takes just enjoy the process! Love your Humor!

[@sbreifers]

Sorry, but I had to laugh watching you - ONLY because I’m in the midst of doing the same thing to my guest bath! I took down wallpaper, tearing the sheetrock in multiple places & had to try to repair many, many bad places in drywall. I don’t remember exactly when I started working on this bathroom but maybe at least a month or more by now! I had so much dust from trying to smooth out joint compound patches. I didn’t use power sander, but even with drywall sandpaper on a pole the dust was terrible! Imagine patching every wall! Initially I got the self adhesive joint tape (think I saw you using) but changed to regular paper tape because I couldn’t get the holes in tape covered! Couple days after working on this mess I had a call that an out of town (10 hrs away) relative was coming to see everyone! I had to work like crazy to get bath presentable, not to mention the rest of the house that hadn’t been touched (and dust everywhere even though door closed)! I painted the room - even on the places I still needed to work on. My vanity top was off & plumbing disconnected & dripping so I put a pan in cabinet to catch water & laid a piece of plywood cut to size over the top. Mirror off, making new frame. What a mess! Anyway I’m still working on everything and I’m retired, just turned 70. You’re young! I’ve been doing ridiculous DIY’s for about 50 years, so hang in there! Your bath already looks fantastic after a few days! I showed my husband your video so he could see lots of crazy women in this world!

[@diytiff]

That’s awesome! The dust is no joke! It got every where and I still find spots here and there lol
