You are not stupid. People need to stop bullying. You’re smart reusing and being frugal. Also it may not be easy finding a sink that fits in a camper.

[@OurLittleNest]

Thank you for the encouragement!!

[@saml8802]

It makes me so sad that throughout the video you had to be so hard on yourself and second-guessed everything you've done. I saw the hate on the bathroom video (which is INSANE it's literally a bathtub people need to calm down) and I just wanted to say that the sink looks amazing and is much more practical. It really isn't going to be used a ton so there is no point in buying a new one, the cost and extra weight just don't make sense. The final product looks lovely and fits the aesthetic of your camper so much more and I hope you don't let the haters get you down!!!

[@OurLittleNest]

Thank you so so much💛 you are so sweet!!

[@robwestley7370]

Sandra Westley from the UK it all looks fantastic, take no notice of anybody else, who are mostly arm chair dictators, who have never done so much work as you have, I know it’s hard to ignore these people but your doing your very best, well done.

[@juliewhite820]

To help protect your hard work you can use an automotive wax after the paint has cured. An added bonus is water slides right off and takes any soap residue with it so the sink stays cleaner longer.

[@Natalie-fo9pm]

Yes … another good product to use is mineral oil

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

It can last longer if you let it dry for weeks or month!!!! Makes a huge difference!! *For anyone who hasn’t done this before*.

[@michellep8391]

I'm sorry but that's to damn long for the everyday person with dishes ect.

[@michellep8391]

In that month your waiting for it to "dry" you can just save up and buy the one you want

[@brendanyates]

@@michellep8391 then don’t. but in the event someone has the ability to wait, ^ above tip applies. as mentioned in video, a second bathroom, etc. People renovate rooms themselves over a couple months. Not everything said on the internet is just for you and your situation. 🤡

[@brendanyates]

@@michellep8391 also “too”*, “etc”*

[@ritasmith6719]

Don’t pay attention to the trolls! Great job!

[@francyfey4646]

So grateful for this video! Our house is from the 80‘s and we have a beautifully shaped sink in the guest bathroom - but it has those ugly red stripes on it (the whole guest bathroom was decorated in red...) and I always thought about painting it all white but never had the guts to do it! Now I feel encouraged! Great video Em, as always 💛

[@lindseyburgard5104]

What a great idea! I'm looking to transform our camper sink! Where did you get the Rust-Oleum automotive primer and tub and tile aerosol? I've looked on Amazon Lowe's and home Depot and it doesn't look like anywhere has it.

[@Kpup]

I truly hope you don't get negative comments - who cares if you paint your camper's sink?? It's either that or buy a new one, and why not try painting it first?? LOVE IT

[@mariacasella979]

Dang Girl!you slayed this🔥Please don't second guess yourself,you know what your doing and your VERY talented,and creative..this is your life,your home and your 🍯you have done an amazing job..Soo very happy for you with what you both have done it's freaken awesome!!love love love it..We only want positivity,learning,sharing on this floormat..Thank you so much for sharing with us..Dang!its sooo green there 💚we need some rain ☔️ badly..Stay safe and healthy 💕

[@OurLittleNest]

You’re so right! Thank you, I need to trust in myself!💛💛

[@Mickingill]

It looks gorgeous and camper sinks aren't high use anyways so it's perfectly fine!

[@Mickingill]

@@alecsmith4894 I just mean they aren't used as often as a regular house sink so it at least won't wear down as fast as typical appliance.

[@tdublakeo]

A perfect solution would be a little collapsible silicone dishpan for washing dishes. It can sit inside the sink or even be taken outside to the picnic table for dishwashing. Takes up very little space.

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

Love that automotive primer!! I bought high heat automotive paint for sink handles and door knobs!! Works better than anything. Esp if it dries for a week

[@arriajess21]

The aesthetic is gorgeous , great job !

[@LauraDoesLife]

Screw the trolls! This looks amazing 😍

[@mariacasella979]

The white sink looks 👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥

[@Baileybobb]

Looks great girl, stop apologizing! LOL Plus, look at how supportive your followers are? (for the most part). Also, where did you get your shorts? I'm looking for some but can't find any that aren't see through or lulu ($$$).

[@OurLittleNest]

thank you! Mine are from forever21 for $3 haha they actually aren't see through somehow!

[@munchiemunchie2010]

You did a great job.I love the kitchen.

[@fleetcaretrucks]

Looks great! A tip for the future ... is to use an etching primer then use an automotive engine primer it helps create a bong that can withstand the high heat and acids from citrus cleaners . Looks awesome tho and great work.

[@daved2143]

Looks good, but I don’t think it would last very long. I wonder if a person would proxy over the top of the white once it’s dry. The Apoxsee would seal it and protect it and it would be very durable and last a long time. I don’t know but it’s a thought. Kind of like those Apoxsee counters are very durable and last a long time.🤷‍♂️

[@tuvasoiland6962]

It looks amazing! Btw, what happened with the fridge?

[@OurLittleNest]

I have it in the camper but I just need Connor to help me secure it in! Hoping this week or next!

[@jamiebly]

wondering how this has held up over the past 6 months? thanks!

[@leslieMClass80]

It looks amazing! Honestly it looks like the sink was manufactured white. It pops with the natural wood counters. Just beautiful !

[@trinabell2793]

Loved it and I will try this. I wish that I can do my sink outside but won't be able to. How is the sink now? Did you need to do a lot of retouches on the sink? it looks really good and thanks for sharing.

[@Rebeccasuperstar1]

It looks beautiful!!

[@MissJnet]

Those taps are awesome.

[@SimplyHappyMarlo]

The sink looks great!!

[@AL-il5uw]

It looks awesome, what a transformation! TYFS

[@Tacos907]

I can’t afford to replace my kitchen sink and was looking for ideas on what to do. This video is what I was looking for, thank you. Not sure who is being rude in the comments but, they can kick rocks cause this helped me and I’m all about being frugal ❤️💜 keep making videos girl

[@plinking7449]

Great video...hows the sink looking now after some use..?

[@KimNuzzolo]

It came out amazing!!! 😍😍😍🙌🏻

[@Ann__333]

Any update?! Im excited! You're not dumb, this will help so many people.

[@mollyivey558]

We are going to be buying our first house soon, and redoing everything we don’t like, your channel is something I found today and now I’m binging EVERY Reno video, please keep making them!!

[@dawncrone4471]

How has it held up??

[@tammy4him42]

Looks great!!

[@MrsBamBam6932]

Love the white sink !

[@silviaandrea1535]

If you find the size you need I will add the silicone or wire mat on the bottom of the sink to help with the wear and tear. I think you did an amazing job. I love it!

[@OurLittleNest]

yes! I've been on the hunt for one & a small rack for the bottom!

[@lindeehopkins6439]

Wowza! I ove it!

[@OurLittleNest]

thank you! it made such a change!

[@sixgunsue8]

LOVE it!! Where is your faucet from? Keep up the amazing work on a budget!!

[@asil0072]

I've been watching a ton of follow up videos on painted sinks and tubs and learned that people are finding the paint very durable and new looking after a year of regular household family use. I think they are making products so much better then in the past. Also, it isn't a big deal to repaint every year and half for a kitchen sink if it needs. New member here and love your channel! I noticed something though. ALL channels have pretty bad trolls. Even well known experts! Don't take any of it personally because I think some people are just wired to criticize. Theres always a hundred people who love you to one hater. Seems the norm. I'm so glad you are trying things because I'm learning so much from you!

[@kait4586]

It looks so nice! Once we redo our kitchen I’m getting a nice big sink. Lol I used the rustoleum counter paint kit on my counters and I don’t recommend it! It doesn’t hold up to normal wear and tear. Just a heads up to everyone!

[@betsyh2503]

Turned out great! It fits in with the color scheme perfectly!! 👍👍

[@OurLittleNest]

thanks so much!!

[@lindacruikshank2656]

I love it better than the stainless look. Thanks for sharing

[@OurLittleNest]

Glad you like it!

[@JustGeenuh]

It looks so good! You did a great job! 👍

[@OurLittleNest]

Thank you! 😊

[@sarahdonnan5388]

I just love it, it looks so farmhouse! U r doing a fab job on the Reno xx

[@OurLittleNest]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@JoyForlifeat50]

😢HELP I FOLLOWED everything to the T, my stainless steel sink chipped a week later 😢

[@melissawhitlow2261]

Thank you for this video! You did a great job and it looks amazing! We are in the beginning stages of completely renovating a vintage camper and I want to spruce up the sinks! Curious how yours is holding up?

[@JumanaRisheq]

I'm really curious how your sink held up with use. Did it chip? Was it sustainable?

[@dikooljamaican1453]

Beautiful video but I believe you should stop worrying about what other ppl think. Your videos takes lots of time to record. Ppl should appreciate it

[@itsmykelife]

Hello... Im planning to paint my stailess kitchen sink are your method work on that too? Is is good until now? Or the paint scratched? Please help thank you so much😊

[@juanitahosein7738]

Great idea. My kitchen sink looks fucked (it was like that when I moved in), but my landlord is one that doesn’t like to do anything so I think I’m gonna do this. Fuck the people with bad comments. ✌🏽🖤

[@AshleyMoreira]

It looks awesome! Great job!

[@OurLittleNest]

Thank you!

[@colleent8336]

Put rubbermaid mat in the sink.

[@OurLittleNest]

Yes! I need one!

[@MarSal84]

It looks super cute!

[@marisolpizarro2613]

Hi I just came across this video (2 years later) I was hoping you could let me know how it held up?

[@ashashark]

Did you ever show us the fridge?

[@OurLittleNest]

Not yet, we have to build a new spot for it so I’ve been waiting for Connor and I’s schedule to match up so we can tackle it!

[@haleysloan1264]

This is probably a dumb question but how long did you let it sit in between each layer, of the primer and the paint?

[@Nahuwaki]

Definitely a fan! Great choice, can’t wait to see how it holds up!

[@dancingwithjesus8568]

How has it held up? Would you say this was a good idea for an everyday used kitchen sink?

[@federicapitolli2959]

Wow it looks so good!!! You are so creative ♥️♥️

[@katelynofriel]

Omg the ducks are the cutest

[@james-personalsouthernskyf8362]

Ty for the Vid. Did you notice the bug in the background lol

[@tdublakeo]

It turned out FANTASTIC! The white sink makes the whole kitchen area look brighter and so charming, good call! This was a very clever and frugal solution. A little collapsible silicone dish pan would be perfect, Amazon has several that would fit. Do you think you might be able to use that stainless paint you used on your microwave to pain the oven door? Honey is just adorable, you're doing a fabulous job on this reno.

[@OurLittleNest]

Thank you so much!! I may be able to do that! Good idea!

[@Sandisue]

That looks beautiful! You might could put a coat of epoxy over it to make it chip less? I don’t know...just a thought. Looks really good, though! I love your diy videos!

[@christineoliveira9632]

Any update on how the sink held up?

[@elthorpethefoodiemore8571]

Did the spray hold up with hot water? Has it started peeling off?

[@ramonasturge1360]

Wow looks amazing ..great job..I may try it on my bathroom camper sink

[@OurLittleNest]

Thank you!!

[@LabLover677]

Please link faucets. Love them.

[@netaunger4201]

And I see you posted this video 2 year's ago, does it hold up great?

[@autumnrinaldi402]

What is the name of the drill attachment at 2:18?

[@OurLittleNest]

Wire cup brush!

[@lindickison3055]

Wow! Will try - absolutely hate stainless steel.

[@ccrossle1]

I think this looks great! Great way to save money too! I would say for the aides of the sink placed on the wood, don't forget to caulk it so water and debris doesn't ruin your wood countertop and the underside of the sink 👌🏼 love your diy videos! Camper looks amazing!

[@juanromo1098]

Great Video 👍🏼 Love it !!

[@madi6462]

After a year how is it holding up?

[@PullipKisses]

Im definitely going to by trying this

[@kimhawk5228]

Looks good, thanks for sharing

[@dulceflor3362]

You are awesome! 😫❤️🙏🏻

[@AlexAndElle]

I love all of your videos like this! So satisfying to see the outcome! 💕

[@OurLittleNest]

Thank you so much!!

[@raffinataonline]

How has it held up?

[@registerednaturotherapist4471]

How has this held up ?

[@Just_F.e.e]

It looks gorgeous!

[@kaylabaranco8761]

Speaking from experience: don't let the negative voice in and practice every day to not talk down to yourself.💕 Be confident in who you are and don't worry about the haters. The public's opinion doesn't dictate who you are as a person. People can be vile and determined to bring someone else down with them. Don't allow the "trolls" to even put a dent in your day. You're a beautiful person with great ideas and you should continue to share them. People who judge others so harshly, do so because they are unhappy. So every time you see or hear a crude judgement... Remember that they are truly the ones who are unhappy. Painting your sink for a temporary fix is absolutely a great idea. Freshen up what you have until you have the means to replace it. That's upcycling, refurbishing, recycling, restoring... Those are all positive things. God bless🙏💐

[@kirstenfebres9378]

Stop listening to negative people. Who cares if it’s a temporary fix. I don’t care if it’s a temporary fix for $1 million house if that’s what you wanna do then you should feel free to do it. If somebody wants you to have a brand new sink then They should buy it for you!! These DIY projects are awesome and not everybody can afford brand new UPDATED things for their homes. I appreciate people like you giving ideas and sharing economical alternatives to modernizing our homes without spending an arm and a leg. Keep doing what you do and whoever doesn’t like it they should feel free to take their middle finger and keep scrolling! We are not professional contractors and quite frankly some of the diy projects I’ve done in my homes a contractor wouldn’t know the difference

[@TheKaniamania]

I wish I had black matte sink but it cost pretty much. And I thought why I don't buy the cheap one, only cost 10% than my dream sink, and paint it. Lucky me, I'll be using it several months later.

[@t0werg1rl]

Does anyone know if the advice to prime with etching primer (not anti-rust automotive primer like in this video) will negate the issue with the paint job being particularly temporary?

[@manifestlovee]

Hi!!! Omgodnessssss this is awesome, is the paint job still holding up well?? I really want to do this to mine. Please share any updates. Thank you 🤗😍

[@porkchop8542]

Thanks for your video, ignore trolls they have nothing better to do. Gosh people are so mean when they derive pleasure from hurting others. Don’t see them making videos do ya? That goose in the background didn’t huff any fumes did he?

[@ambs19751]

Turn off your comments and just keep posting. I love it all! Live YOUR life and forgot the hate

[@robertkinney12]

Outstanding videos, very informative. Thank you.

[@francyfey4646]

P.S. just re-watched your doggy cupcakes videos on your main channel because my dog‘s birthday is coming up 🤩 Still love those, too!

[@samanthalockridge7838]

Great job!

[@florencecavallaro4599]

Im shocked that you did not replace the sinks because you ripped out all your work of diy and put in all new stuff/thats why im asking you why are you saving your sink?

[@justinroman7794]

Great video

[@charr45]

I have a question. I’m about to paint stainless pizza sheets for a business. Did the enamel spray paint chip off?

[@netaunger4201]

Thank you so much for sharing 😍 we live in a mobile home and and my husband is not a fan of making big changes and there's no white sink in the size we need, so I'll definitely give this a try

[@robindikos8937]

This is the USA and last I heard we are free to do what we want! If someone doesn't like the idea of how you are painting your sink, too bad, it's YOUR sink!

[@tinam5330]

OH MY GOSH you did a Great Job. LOVE IT. Thank you for showing how to do it.

[@ninockab]

Girl you are doing this for yourself and not for us! We are here of our own free will, not because you are forcing us ... don't justify yourself for what you do with your money and for yourself !! And btw you are doing a great job .. Greetings from Sweden

[@siennazylis]

I'm so excited! This will be the perfect fix for our 1920s house.

[@michellefleenor5854]

I love everything you do! I can’t believe people give you negative comments. Be Kind like honey every one🦋

[@francyfey4646]

P.P.S. Do you know what kind of paint that is? Is it synthetic-resin varnish?

[@kuropingguo]

I really want to do this to my sink but I'm kinda scared because it's my kitchen sink and I know I'll be using it a lot. But it looks so so great. I need a white sink.
