DIY LIVING ROOM MAKEOVER ON A BUDGET | REALISTIC + EASY REFRESH FOR ANYONE!

[@pim4772]

Tip for cutting glass: you have to break it right after you cut it. If you wait longer, you get a "cold cut" and the tension in the glass makes it break where it wants. So you should prepare each side separately and then break it immidedly

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh wow - pinning this comment.

[@liveandlove2501]

Don't forget to pin this comment 🙂

[@crystalwhite2109]

I’ve also seen that holding the glass under water helps reduce the amount of energy needed to cut it and helps to make a cleaner cut.

Tip for when you're painting the trim: fill a left over yoghurt pot or something similar with the paint, that way you don't have to keep climbing up and down the ladder to top up the paint on your brush. You'd be amazed how much time it saves (and you end up with way fewer bruises on your legs too!)

Just a tip I’ve learned from years of painting... invest in a good quality artist angled paint brush (Michael’s coupon) to use for crisp clean cut-in’s and small bowl/cup of paint. I promise it will save you time and money on the back end i.e. less time/money on Painter’s tape and cleaning up wonky lines. 🤷🏽‍♀️ just a suggestion.

Your videos are really great. I would love to see some series from you on how to avoid annoying mistakes, like when you're painting, drilling and such. Mistakes people that only fix something in the house once a year do, but can cost time / money and frustration. Also, I just realized it's so good that your face is not showing a lot during the videos. That realization came just after the previous one during your other "best friend call me out" video that I couldn't do much of anything else than breath looking at that face, so it would've been a pity to miss any part of your great work. So, yeah...

[@daydreamerxox96]

If you ever have to cut glass again, a tip for going around any big curve like those arches! instead of making those off shoots like you did after tracing the whole curve, you can cut out the arch in smaller sections by tracing a bit of the curve and then trailing off to the edge of the glass in a straight line. That way you can break off smaller pieces instead of doing that whole curve at once, and you can sand any rugged edges like you did (:
