      Hi Kristen. I really enjoy that makeover video of the bathroom and was just wondering..How are those tiles holding up? Do they hold up good with humid from the bathroom? How are they suppose to be cleaned? A not so wet mop? Have they shade on color or form? Sorry didn't mean for all the questions but I looking for alternatives to upgrade my bathroom for less. Thanks for sharing. God bless you. Stay safe.

      I rent an apartment so these are great suggestions for me. Wondering tho, if you had the stick on items up for a couple years let's say, how do we know it's not gonna damage what's underneath? Or become a sticky gluey mess nearly impossible to get off. That's been my only worry about these. Thanks for all you share with us! So inspiring and motivating.

      The floor pops especially. If you look at the company's site, they say they are not removable without damaging the floor underneath. I'm curious to see someone take them up to see whether the company maybe just doesn't want to be liable for false advertising if they happen to damage someone's floor.

    Thank you for this video, 99% of the “rental decorating hack” videos literally just say “paint your walls, ask if you can change the floors” yeah sorry hun, most rental spaces want 0% changes to their old style property. What’s good about this is not only are you covering the 70’s brown that’s in so many properties but it protects the surfaces so you leave the house in the exact same condition as when you arrived a+++

    I do renovations and I will tell you- Be very careful with the floor tiles in a rental- they are usually not meant to be removed. Once they are down and the adhesive has melded a bit to the floor they will be really difficult to get up with blades and scrapers.

    Oh I love your videos!! I had just bought some Peal & Stick for my back splash in my kitchen!! I bought mine from Home Depot! I had Formica for my back splash. It was in really good shape! We used this product and it's more than amazing!! We're buying all new appliances for our home so I decided to give this a try!! It's absolutely beautiful & cost me about $200 for my entire backsplash!! I promise you'll never be sorry!! Went over my Formica liked a dream. Since I'm a Quilter I used my Rotary Cutter (be careful not to cut yourself!) and my cuts were perfect. Drew it out with a pencil first in different areas!! Now I'm wanting to try it in other areas as well!! It's just that nice! To have someone come in my home & redo all that for me was unbelievable!! Bids were like $2000 plus!! It's crazy expensive out there! I'm a DIY girl!! Thank you for all your amazing video's!!

    what would concern me about the beautiful tiles in the bathroom is stepping on them when your wet and water getting in between the cracks of the tiles lifting them too soon.

    • @LadyNicky007
      @LadyNicky007 Před 3 lety +16

      I put a few coats of clear liquid floor wax on mine.. It gives the floor a mirror shine & also protect that thin vinyl coating from scuff marks...It also seeps between the cracks also creating a barrier against water puddles...
      May I suggest you use a towel mat when you bathe, if you step in puddled water as you seem to be implying... You could eventually slip & fall..🤕 A towel mat is a very thick towel that is very absorbent... It’s short & is as flexible as a towel that fits snuggly on the side of the bath when not in use..By the time you get off, your feet are dry.
      Hope this will dissolve your worries! 😉

It was a great solution for that window.
