      Good question and no, not a single one! The paint keeps all of the pieces down. Even when paint started to "come up" in some of the other rooms, it's still fine. However, honestly, our rooms are small so once you get furniture in and a rug you don't actually see much "floor".

    • @CapturingWonderland
      @CapturingWonderland Před 2 měsíci

      So much better than the other ways I've tried. The special primer really did help so the paint could stick. But also, I think two coats of both is the best also. So far we don't have the same chipping that we quickly got in the other two rooms. So I'm really hopeful! I totally hear you on the cost of flooring.

  • @CapturingWonderland
    @CapturingWonderland Před 2 měsíci

    Now after having painted three different floors with three different paints, I did an updated version painting my son's bedroom. And for sure if you have the same kinds of subfloors you will want to use a primer that is specifically for covering flooring like this. Because the glue in the subfloor is interfering with the paint actually adhering.

      If it's brass it wouldn't rust. You could do a bit of a really fine steel wool with bar keepers friend. Then once it's all dried and cleaned off you could use some rub n buff or spray paint it.

    Thank you sooooooo much for this video!!!! Not just because you were the answer to my google "How to make a vessel sink from an antique wash bowl?". But you so sincerely voiced the courage that it takes for me to do any kind of diy project. I have done so much work renovating my century home ~ too many diy projects, I can't even remember them all. But I've only ever done each one once......first time refinishing hardwood floors, first time laying ceramic tile, first time installing baseboard and trim, first time building a chicken coop, first time making a stone foundation, etc. And then I never do THAT project again. So I never really get good at anything. I'm such an unskilled perfectionist ~ I live in a constant state of frustration. Thank you for saying it out loud. The internet is FULL of diy videos where the creator makes everything look so easy, I feel such self doubt and ineptitude. You are such an inspiration! Keep doing great things and letting us peak in to celebrate your spirit and your determination. 🙏🏻
