Paint Baseboards like a Pro (updated trim from dark brown wood to white look)

[@thesimpleminimalist]

I have an older house with darker wood trims everywhere. It's been 10 years that I have contemplated painting the trims. I will finally paint the base trims. Your video is the only one that I have found that have white base trims mixed with door and window wood trims, which will be how my house will look like. I really appreciate it! I am so excited now!!

Hi Dalee, I am so happy my video has helped you! Good luck with the painting! Thanks for commenting!

[@Illsky9]

I have the same issue in my home, brown hard wood with brown baseboards from the mid 80s. Some people argue to stain the baseboards a darker shade. I'm with you on this one, the white looks way better and cleaner too!

[@michellelach]

Looks great! Our new house has brown trimming. Can’t wait to paint it white.

[@beccaoliver8485]

Thank you! Go for it and good luck to you! 😊

[@cristymason9382]

Nice, I’m about to do the same thing to my baseboards. And that paint you used was awesome. Good job!

[@AmandaBrown-pu4ev]

This helped so much!! We’ve been struggling on deciding what to do with our baseboards since we got new flooring!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you!!!

[@beccaoliver8485]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davidbell9130]

it looks very good, once spring comes i will do same. my home 1956 very old outdated baseboards

[@dalsmoua]

I love this. I am on the fence about painting our baseboards. This video helped! I am going to do this!

[@tonyalways7174]

Nice job and I was curious to see how it turned out. Tip for others is that it’s often better to use caulk, spackle, filler after the primer coat partly because primer is great for showing up imperfections more clearly than dark varnish but also because primer provides better grip for whatever filler you are using. They turned out great though in this video 👍🏻

[@yoyut9028]

Nice, I'm thinking of painting my brown trims to white. How is it holding up after a year?

[@rachelbrink6632]

Wow such inspiration ❤️

Pro tip : watch movies on Kaldrostream. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.

[@kareemkohen4586]

@Ahmed Julio Definitely, I have been using KaldroStream for since december myself =)

[@marjorieoliver7187]

Lovely home and great painting job!

[@nicksmith3746]

So you don't have to sand down the boards before the primer?

[@29outlaw]

Did you also paint the ramp to the litter box?

[@rathanickheng]

Hi did you paint the windows and door trims white as well?

[@beccaoliver8485]

Yes, I did eventually pain those too! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@jflo7674]

I have to do the same with mine. Except that mine were painted a chocolate brown paint instead of a stain like yours were. Thanks for the tips. 😊

[@JH-lu5yg]

Same here. And the doors in one room. And the doors stick so I’m sure it will have to be sanded.

So pretty Boo!!!!!💓

Hi! Great video! Can you add the color name to the description? I wanted to take a screen shot so I could find the same color but the photo didn’t work. Thanks!

[@beccaoliver8485]

Definitely! Adding color name now.

Going to do this to my house.

Any plans to redo the window/door casings and sills?

[@beccaoliver8485]

Since this video I have painted one both window sills, 1 door casing, and the closet doors. Thanks for watching!

[@becster0902]

@@beccaoliver8485 Can you do an updated video showing us the doors and the window sills? Your wooden trim is like mine and I'm debating on whether or not to do my door frames and window sills. Unfortunately I cant paint the doors since I rent but I'm also considering coving them with contact paper

[@beccaoliver8485]

I would LOVE to! Unfortunately my plate is very full right now but will try to find time to get another video out!! Thanks for commenting and watching!

[@becster0902]

@@beccaoliver8485 no problem! Even if getting pics together is easier, i would be happy with either Thank you

[@beccaoliver8485]

Would be happy to send pics! How would you like me to send them?

[@aragornskywalker558]

So helpful! Thanks!!

[@jenniferbecca3050]

Thanks for the video. I'm buying a new house and all the baseboards, window trim, and chair rails in the living room, dining room, and hallway are brown wood, but all the bedrooms have white trim. I don't care for the brown.

[@beccaoliver8485]

That's awesome that you're buying a house! I was definitely in the same boat as you - didn't like the brown! Glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching 😊

[@Mani-nc5om]

great job. it looks amazing. Such a big difference! btw i love your rug where did you get it?

[@beccaoliver8485]

Thank you! Got my rug from Wayfair!

[@angelrey646]

What color you used for your walls?

[@beccaoliver8485]

I wish I knew the exact name, it was painted before we moved in. All I can tell you is that it is a light greyish-tan. Thanks for watching!

[@wharrison7131]

Nice looking lady. I am thinking about double the stated time though. Good job.

[@PaintSlanga]

For the best look start in a corner and brush into your work (wet paint) not from your work out. Good look.

[@amyash724]

What is the color of your walls?

[@beccaoliver8485]

It is a light greyish tan. I don't know the exact name because it was before I moved in the house. Sorry! Thanks for watching!

[@thegentleman03]

Can you do this with a wooden door?

[@quendelf]

Instead of tape use newspaper on the floor :) it’s cheaper and wider

[@quatamaecrumble392]

Thank you🤞🏾🙏🏾❤️

[@quatamaecrumble392]

@@beccaoliver8485 you’re welcome ❤️

[@jessicaf945]

Good job. I wouldn’t have changed the color though. The brown baseboard matched with the trims and doors. My other option would have been to paint the baseboards same color than the wall. That’s just me. Thanks for your video.

[@aeidhamo4450]

I don’t think you sand them

[@lindasanders6777]

All my interior doors, windows and trim are painted army green throughout my house!! I want to sell my house, and I have to get rid of all this ugly!!!
