What type of paint? Latex, acrylic? Glaze? Epoxy? Primer?
Linked in the description and covered in the video.
I think the shower would have looked spectacular if you painted the walls a complementary collor. Im not a beige fan, but it definitely has its place. That said, this is a fabulous video on technique and steps.
Did you see the next video, where I add gray marble veins to the shower? This was just the first part of the bathroom makeover :)
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t remove all the silicone and then reapply once painted.
If you have acrylic latex caulk, it can easily be removed using a little heat from a hair dryer and removal tool. That’s not typical in a shower because it’s not waterproof and instead used to fill gaps when painting. Silicone is VERY difficult to remove because it is almost permanent and waterproof. I used to sell and market caulk at GE. That’s why I covered over it instead of removing it. Silicone caulk will never get moldy and acrylic caulk will. That’s how you can tell the difference 😁

Great job with that tutorial. Really well done. Question; would you consider doing the same with kitchen tile, or not - given more traffic and abuse of surface?
Thank you! Yes, great idea...you can walk on this type of paint, so it will work in the kitchen. Backsplash tile you can use this same paint tutorial as is. For a kitchen counter made of tile, I'd add a clear coat of several layers of a water-based polyurethane for a extra protection: urlgeni.us/amzn/polycrylicpoly. Note it won't be heat safe, so use silicone mats!
I hate wire shelves but it’s all I’ve ever had. 😅 and I’m surprised by people talking about the weight limits. I’ve never had an issue so maybe I just haven’t been at the limits? Ty, I was almost entertaining spending $50 for one cover on Etsy. Saved my financial future 😮💨😂
Right? When I’ve had to remove the anchors to the brackets it about KILLS me with the pull force and the wall damage 😂 I’ve LOADED my wire shelves up with no issues.

A lady without fake fingernails! Salute 🫡
Definitely not LOL.
What’s the color you have on your walls there? Do they look the same in person? I love the shade it shows as in the video!
They do! It's Sherwin Williams, Pearly White. Link to accurate peel and stick sample: rstyle.me/+4s1tbEI22ayEBQeyX0bTGA
Such a helpful tutorial, thank you! I’m based in the uk and doesn’t look like the porch floor and patio paint you have linked is available here. Do you recommend another paint like Rust-oleum tile paint? Thank you!
Not sure what brands you have in the UK, but a high quality paint rated for outdoor porch or concrete floor use should work. Just ask the paint department staff for their best recommendation. Glad this was helpful!
I love how enthusiastic you are! It’s obvious how much you love painting.
Awww, thank you! I really am and love to teach too. Glad it comes through in my video 😁
@@porchdaydreamer I’ve watched several other videos about painting countertops and decided to use the method you use because not only is it pretty straightforward with only a few steps but also because you share all the little things to watch out for and how to avoid/correct problems. I know I can trust your advice because you wouldn’t be putting so much effort into something you didn’t love and truly want to teach others how to do properly. 😁 I decided to start with my bathroom counter so I can practice marbling on a much smaller and less noticeable area in case I mess it up. 😂
I would like to know where you purchased these items??
All of the links are listed in the description or you can shop through this link: urlgeni.us/amazon/linenclosetamz
Thank you for reminding us to relax.😂 I get so nervous right before painting something so I usually avoid it. Your guide gave me enough confidence to prime a piece of furniture today! It was a brand new wooden bed frame so it was extra scary😅
Awww, I really appreciate you taking the time to send this 😁 You made my day! Yes, as you know my chairs were brand new too. My motto is "If you don't like the color, don't live with it paint it ❤️
Black is only a trend if you saw it trending and decided to do it. It's not a trend if you woke up knee morning and your inner designer decided your room, hall, etc needs a black wall. I hate when people try to discourage others based on what they think versus what they really know but yes, it's going to be a bear trying to paint over.

Where do you get them

This is beautiful!!! I’m not quite ready to paint my shower but I’m definitely planning on painting my kitchen (laminate) countertops! I didn’t see one of your videos doing this to countertops but if you’re looking for your next project, I would LOVE seeing your expertise applied to that process! Do you recommend using the same paint and process for countertops? I’ve seen some videos where epoxy is used to seal the counters but it has yellowed over time. I absolutely don’t want that!! I’m at home a lot more now because I’m going through cancer treatment but I would really like to update my kitchen in whatever small ways I can. Thanks for sharing these incredibly helpful videos!
Sounds like you are not letting your treatments slow you down 💪🏻 I'm slowly adding my videos to CZcams, but YES I do have a written tutorial for painting granite counters NO EPOXY (use for laminate too!). I didn't want to used an epoxy either because it's not forgiving if you make a mistake or want to change. Here's the tutorial on my website: porchdaydreamer.com/paint-granite-counters-like-marble/
My absolute favorite green color is actually SW6191 (Contented). It is so beautiful!
Soooooooo many great ideas. I have guests coming over. It’s time to make my linen closet pretty and functional
So glad this was helpful!!

I just painted my nails studio Sea Salt by Sherman Williams…it’s a small room and the color changes with light but I just love it. The floor is a medium gray and I have white furniture with a bit of brown. I love it 💚💙🩶

Thank you for the dedication and step by step instructions. The detailed list of materials is extremely helpful. You have inspired me and given me courage to tackle the updating in two bathrooms. You are the only person in the Web to do what you are doing in your tutorials and in your site. Thanks again!!! Patty, from FL

Oh my gosh!! I did this project and it turned out beautifully! It took a while for me to convince someone at Lowe's to cut the boards and trim...at first they said they couldn't do it but I said logically someone must cut these because who has use for an 8ft. board?? Once I got it home I followed your instructions and I could not be more pleased! You must be an amazing teacher because I usually have very little confidence in myself to complete home projects - your enthusiasm, clear instructions, and beautiful outcome convinced me to give it a shot. My closets look amazing, and are more functional without having to worry about smaller items falling between the wires!! Thank you so much!!
You just made my day! Thank you for taking the time share your experience plus give others the confidence they need to try this project. Plus let others know sometimes you have to be firm with the Lowe's associate to get them to cut the closet boards. BTW I'm a Clemson Tiger and my mom was an elementary school teacher, so that might be why I like to teach :)
@@porchdaydreamer Please keep up the teaching on home DIY projects, I am subscribed and love your videos. Now that you say you're a Tiger it makes so much sense, we are usually an enthusiastic bunch to say the least! Whoo hooo! Go Tigers!
Stix Primer is fantastic too.
I've heard good things, but have used Valspar Bonding Primer because I worked there for years 😁 It's NEVER failed me.
It also doesn’t peel up like what we saw here on the edges. Never had that issue, but it’s good to see the tip to avoid it

This is great for tiny linen closets/tiny pantries… BUT I want to do this to my big closets and big pantry. How would I do that when those hold heavy things and require those angled brackets so heavy things can hold. I’ve had those wired ones go right through our walls in our closet bc our stuff was too heavy so I don’t know how I’d make sure they’d hold extra weight in a way I could do this easily and with no experience. 😅
Thanks for your time to explain it all. This will really help a lot of people who are thinking about doing it. Click baiter
Guess you're just having a bad day...follow this tutorial if you want to paint your cabinets. It's one of the most detailed you find. czcams.com/video/v1riuk5G1_0/video.htmlsi=YtHc7CFeysZMEq9G Sorry you felt this was click-bait, but this is a "short" and not a long form tutorial.

Which green for a living room with tons of natural light? I have very very dark wood floor and dark brown leather furniture . Will evergreen fog look good ?
