DOLLAR TREE RENTAL HACK | DIY HARDWOOD FLOOR | UNDER $20

Hey Sistas ! Today's video is all about our Dollar Tree DIY hardwood flooring. Currently we are renting our house, and although we are very thankful for having a floor in general, we really don't like the flooring that this house originally had. So with that being said, we are so excited to share with you guys the before and after of our new floor !

Woah. I was not expecting it to look that good. Very impressive!!!

[@504CreoleCrystal]

This came out amazingly! I was just about to cash out on peel and stick vinyl floor planks that mimic wood floors. I didn’t even think about contact paper! We’re about to move into a rental and the bathroom floors are ATROCIOUS!!!! I’ll definitely be trying this 1st. Thank you for the idea and tutorial!!!

Did you try it? Does it leave any residue, like glue, when you remove it?

[@shakimawiggins6412]

You did an amazing job. Sheer perfection!!!

[@ANJANJ-pv9vf]

That turned out so well! Definitely adopting this method.

[@tmiller584]

Watching this was so satisfying. So happy I found your channel. Absolutely amazing you two.

[@shawanamrhodes]

Good job. Looks great. Thank you doing this video. I was thinking about using the same product in my bathroom. Now I know it can look good so I will move forward with putting it down. Take care!

[@martaalvarado4631]

Lots fantastic professionally done. Good choice of color and design.

[@v.j.cooper2007]

To keep it from scratching or getting a hole, put two layers of polyurethane over the top. And use a blow dryer and a pin to poke the hole and use the heat from the blow dryer for a smooth finish.

[@sistasistaaa2464]

OMG ! Thank you so much ❤️! Will definitely do that next time

[@renareeprior5414]

I am so happy I stumbled across this video it gave me sooooo much confidence to go ahead and do the wallpaper flooring....I found out to make it super durable you can apply water based polyethylene finish over it........i have a lot of kids definitely need something durable but on a budget lol ....... I love this video thanks for sharing with us

[@BigbangG5]

did it work well ???

[@shandraarmstrong2220]

Omg I would have never thought of doing that! Awesome job! You giving me a great idea to do my outdated bathroom in my rental townhouse.😩

Good job!

[@egda2]

Love it ! I will do that to my kitchen - my floor needs it. The land lord doesn’t want to fix it

[@JMilz32]

I'm having the same issue so off to Dollar Tree I go!

[@latoyajones4992]

Thank you I'm try this very nice

[@tracyrobinson3587]

I am so surprised at how great of a job you ladies kept with those edges lined up beautifully done! I have a rental with a horrible kitchen floor but the tile is actually coming up is there anything you could recommend? The landlord refuses to change it.

[@melissasantiago4682]

My floors have been making me crazy with all the scratches and discoloration . So glad I have a solution now! How long did the project take you to complete?

[@lightandhopec.d.4078]

Great job and kudos to the both of you for not giving up.

[@sistasistaaa2464]

Thank you so much 🙏🏽

[@ArmoredDangerousEph6-11]

Thank you for a wonderfully informative video.I'm so impressed you followed through with your idea. It looked like back breaking work, but your young, I hope you recovered quickly. I loved the way your floor looked after you laid the contact paper. What a terrific idea, right in front of our face, all this time! I just never put two and two together!! My husband is retired military. In the 48 years we've been married, we've moved 🤔 approximately 33 times, stateside and in Europe. I have the arthritic battle scars to prove it, lol. If only I knew this trick back in the day. My daughters and I would have papered everything, lol. Contact paper has been around a long long time,! I hear since dinosaur's roamed the earth!! 🤔 😳 😂😂😂

[@nickkey1096]

Great job.

[@mdj2742]

This was amazing. You even lined up the grain. Like, how?

[@melissamoves8355]

Looks good

[@beatstosing7203]

Omg you guys make it look so easy

[@sistasistaaa2464]

Oh no it was not lol . It was a struggle until we were like halfway done, but thank you 🙏🏽

[@terismidt4920]

It looks great! Won't mopping it lift it up?

[@Avotts]

It actually looks a 1000x better than I thought it would. But my questions. Wasn't it very slick? Maybe causing falls? How long did it actually last? Did it start peeling off with first spill?

[@cameronashton6987]

An answer to some questions would be nice, because I'd like to know how it held up. Probably no need to mop over it...but, just a good dusting.

[@ThisiswhatIdoforaliving]

Nice 👍 how long did it take in the kitchen from start to finish?! Were the tiles forgiving(have to pick up and restick like contact paper.

[@dresses365daysayear3]

The before design is actually nice I would used a magic eraser

[@MellyLuvsCarly]

Wish I could do this to my floors but it’s bigger grouted uneven tiles. Question does this do any damage to the floors when removed? I’m disabled can’t pay to fix floors from damage

[@msnihira]

Awesome

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

This is the first video ive seen where it was actually done right. How long did it last? What issues did u have with it afterwards? How does it handle spills and dirt?

[@sistasistaaa2464]

Thank you 🙏🏽 ! We literally redid one section near the fridge only because there was a scrape due to an incident with a 6 year old and skates 🤦🏽‍♀️... but other than that, everything is still sticking perfectly fine! As for spills and dirt, we haven’t had any issues other than minor fading which is near the garbage can in the corner . Someone suggested putting polyurethane over the top to prevent holes and scratches, so that would probably be a good idea for the next time we redo it. Overall, it’s still hanging on nice and strong !

[@jamiecollins5012]

What do you use to clean your floors now?

[@chrinamint]

Why do people always put such negative comments? Obviously this is not meant to be an actual permanent floor redo. They are renting and they just want a simple fake hardwood floor while they're renting. Y'all are being too dramatic! Perfectly cute legit way to get a temporary cute floor to look at while they're living there. Or if they can't afford the real thing at the moment. Also for everybody saying it's going to tear in 5 minutes there's plenty of people who have posted videos doing this very thing and have two year updates etc. Quit being such naysayers. If you don't want to do it then don't. Nobody thinks they're going to redo their actual house floors for real and forever with this. Constructive criticism is good or tips... I like the person that said to put poster board under it for the tile seems underneath. That's a great idea. I'll be doing this in my bathroom.

[@ronb8310]

Curious how this stands up to foot traffic. Looks very nice.

[@kmoney9268]

👍

[@gandakho7562]

very nice

[@rachelhouse9854]

Did you use all 16 rolls? Your floor looks like a pretty large area and I'm trying to figure out how many I'll need 😆😅

[@joslynaiken-fletcher5786]

This is amazing how long did it keep up, with like cleaning mopping and kids .. I want to do it

[@sistasistaaa2464]

It is still sticking amazing !!! There are a few scrapes from the kids , but they aren’t super noticeable by just looking quickly . If you ever wanted to redo it, it comes up easily so that you can ! We’ve used several different floor cleaners to mop , and it still looks great .

How long does it stay?

[@drakedrones]

Hi, how’s the floor been holding up so far? Any updates? Thank you

[@sistasistaaa2464]

Hello! It’s still on there ! There are minor scrapes, but that’s only because there’s kids who live here as well lol. But other than that, we’re able to wash over it with any floor cleaner and it still looks as if we just did it !

Where i can buy this paper.. And what is the actual name of this paper

[@Demibrown1]

Hi! You can purchase from Dollar tree! It’s called quick cover pine design self adhesive shelf liners.

[@ketekseksi2449]

u can use windex spray

[@tashashaback]

nice dollar hack

[@sistasistaaa2464]

Thank you 💕

[@stafonvoncamron]

Next time cover the floor with poster board paper and tape it together than use the contact paper, that way the seems for the floor under neath the poster paper stay hidden.

[@sistasistaaa2464]

That is some great feedback ! Will definitely do that next time (:

[@thandiswar7932]

I came here looking for this exact answer! Thank you

[@wapaa26]

Will the poster board be sliding on the floor tho?

[@c.alexander2380]

Comment

[@jessicarobles1921]

Is it easy to remove ?

[@sistasistaaa2464]

I would suggest putting poster paper or something underneath it to make it easier for when you peel it up, but if you use Goo Gone with a little bit of soap and water , or even WD-40 it’ll come up good!

[@sunrae7680]

[@yuhdude6392]

That’s filthy !

[@DrLauraRPalmer]

Omg not the contact floors that will scuff and scratch up 33min minutes after people start working on it 😝

[@JamieTransNyc]

If a tentant of mine did this to one of my units, we would be in court right away.

[@Demibrown1]

Wait a minute, You have to admit. The floors in most rental apartments are somewhat ugly. Lol they could use a little touch up. Also I was told if a person is living in an apartment for a while, they should be able to make the place feel & look like home. I understand if a person rents an apartment and destroys the area and shows that they do not care but things like this that are harmless and can be removed should be allowed. This woman obviously cares about how her apartment looks. I see it as no problem. Now, Maybe the rules are different in the county I am from but other than that This whole project was a great idea!!! ♥️🥰 keep up the good work!

[@cshop1862]

Why? It can be taken up and the residual stickiness cleaned up with denatured alcohol. No harm, no foul.

[@JamieTransNyc]

@@cshop1862 Because it is not within the terms of their contract to redesign my building, because contact paper traps moisture below it causing problems, because it will require me to pay someone to remove it. 3 harms, 3 fouls

[@SpecsAppeal]

You wanna talk to a manager?Y OU are FOUL. Redesigning your unit, thats quite a stretch. I would never rent from someone as controlling and unpleasant as you. NIGHTMARE. Comes right off, Karen. Calm down, geez. What are you going to sue for? Get a hobby. A dozen or so cats seems right for you..

[@annaacierno9195]

It may look pretty as long as you dont walk on it..its paper...its going to dents, peel, scratch..just walking on it with shoes will scrape it..peel and stick tiles would have been a better idea..

[@mommygarcia9137]

Why ? It comes off ! And maybe you should up grade your units !!

[@vermontmom4232]

So, I do not recommend this... After about 5 mops, your corners are going to peal. Doesn't the dollar tree sell flooring? If going that route, I would get the flooring or go to Walmart and still get flooring at a decent price. Cheaper is not always better... You can end up investing more money and time then you wanted.

[@mikehendrix6558]

So tacky. You drop a fork on it and it will tear it. High heels will tear it. You spent money for nothing
