You have way too much energy! I enjoy watching your videos and I add my own ideas while I watch you work. When my niece was little we bought her a kids tool box. We wanted her to know how to use tools. Girl power!
Thank you for the video! My bathroom is soo stuck in the 80's and it definitely needs a new remodel. I'm going to try to do it all by myself, maybe not the lighting, but painting definitely!!!
Thanks for this inspiring and instructional video--Our vanity from the 1990s looks almost exactly like this! I am still trying to decide if it's worth replacing, as we are the owners and are renovating the rest of the bathroom. I am thinking of replacing the top, sink and faucets, though the epoxy looked pretty good.
Hi Erin, thank you for this video... super helpful !! But I feel the need to tell you that wearing a half or even full face respirator is very important using products like this. A dust mask or medical mask is totally not the protection required when using a product like this. Goggles that seal on the edges around your skin is also important to protect your eyes :) Look after yourself while being a boss lady with your amazing work !!
Nice. Your bathroom is exactly like mine wxept the floors and my vanity top is white tile. I will be painting vanity too and framing the mirror. I just don't know what to do with the vanity top yet?
Thanks! I wanted to keep them simple and there are finger slots at the top of each door to make opening them easy, but you could certainly add them if you wanted to!
Hi Erin, New subscriber. I loved how this bathroom turned....this is what my bathroom needs. I love the color choice the Behr line at Home Depot is great. Please share with us where you got your super cute tank top!! 😁😆👍🏡
Thanks for the video, quick Q though, I followed your instruction and used epoxy on my kids bathroom. I saw it gets stains after a week and a small chip. Do you think I should have used another paint to seal it? Not sure what I did wrong, we let it dry up for a week before we used the sink again!?
Yep in order for you to not get stains you should Let it cure for a good week especially if you have kids and I didn’t like the spray more than I like the Apoxsee paint that’s a little thicker
Yes you can but I’m not using the spray to do my countertops Rustolium has the same product but in a can version and it’s a little thicker than that spray
Hello Erin, I have a question for you, off the subject of cabinets. Do you know or remember the color you used in the hallway. I’m in the process of painting my kitchen and finding it extremely difficult to find a paint color. I am drawn to greys with a tint of blue (I think) but every paint color I have bought does not look good and I have tried a few. I finally settled on one and it is blue, not what I wanted. Much appreciation for your help. I love what you did with the bathroom and never thought of using that appliance spray paint.
The hallway is actually painted white, the lighting just makes it look gray. But if you want something similar to the color it looks like, it actually looks similar to Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl which I've used several times and love.
We sold this place shortly after this makeover. I would say this isn’t a long term solution, especially for a bathroom that sees a lot of use, but it’s a great money saving option for the short term if you can’t afford to replace an old vanity.
I didn’t use it on the sink, only the countertop, but I was still very careful for a couple days since I didn’t want to drip water on it before it fully cured. I would wait at least 24 hours.
Did you get any drips from the appliance epoxy? I just did a test to make sure I liked the finish before I attempted the actual countertop and I found that I had to wipe my nozzle off every 3-4 sprays (they were short bursts). Even then, I still got some :( Any tips?
I didn’t really have an issue. I remember getting one or two drips and I just immediately wiped them and resprayed that area while it was still wet. I didn’t have an issue with the nozzle though.
I have a really large ok’d vanity in my home that has the I’m not sure how to exactly describe it but the wood with a thin plastic type top to it countertop which I hate! Would this process work for mine? Or am I better just replacing the top all together?
It depends on how much ventilation you have. I didn't have any nearby windows to open so it lasted a couple days. If you can open windows and let it air out then maybe just a day.
Hey Erin, love the video, gives me confidence to redo mine. Quick question: how long did you wait for the first coat of paint to dry before applying the second to the vanity?
What would you like to know? It’s just a reminder to me to be strong and have faith that there is something bigger than me in control. I have a few tattoos and they all have special meaning to me.
@@ErinSpainDIY I just saw it and figured there was a story behind it. I love it. As a note, that "something bigger" you mention is Jesus Christ. No one is bigger or in more control. God Bless you in every way in 2021...
I Experienced a very to do easier way to remove "Wallpaper Glue," take a "White Cotton Wash Cloth," "Hot Water," "Any Powder," to "Wash Clothes," with, and in a "Circler Motion," "WASH!" It's Long, but it Surely Works! My Class Lesson of the Day;
Because neutral sells and this house was being put on the market. Also, some people like it. It may look ugly and depressing to you but calming to someone else. Believe it or not, not everyone shares your taste. Good news though, no one is forcing you to paint your own home gray.
You’re obviously outdated because gray is one of the top five colors that contractors and customers choose to paint the cabinets do your research on and gray is beautiful
@@ErinSpainDIY I don’t even know why you try to explain gray is beautiful and yours came out great if that person would do a lot of research or a little research they would find out that gray is the top five colors that people paint their cabinets
Why did you post this? It's very amateur! I cannot believe you didn't take the hardware and doors off. It looks like you bought a cheap house, throwing in a few bucks worth of paint and putting it back on the market for an inflated price.
Probably for the same reason you took time out of your day to leave a bitchy comment. Because I felt like it 🤷♀️😆 We spent so much money on the rest of the home so this room was done on a major budget, and I presented it as an option for those looking to make inexpensive cosmetic changes to a bathroom. Don’t like it? Move along.
Wow!!!! Just like you couldn’t believe she posted it you sat your goofy ass and watched the whole video though so who’s the dumb one. Her house, her money, her way!!!! I’m willing to bet you don’t even have a rental to renovate
@@ErinSpainDIY I love you girl. Your responses are EPIC😂😂 People are just CRAZY!!!!! She sat her miserable self down on her worn out couch and watched a pretty woman do a makeover and she’s complaining. Is she buying the house😂😂
I love how you were willing to show the outtakes of making this video!! I definitely will do it your way. Thanks
You have way too much energy! I enjoy watching your videos and I add my own ideas while I watch you work. When my niece was little we bought her a kids tool box. We wanted her to know how to use tools. Girl power!
Thank you!
Good advice on painting thin coats. Very elegant color choice.
Thank you!
You make this look so easy. Well not easy but something I can actually do on my own with patience. Thanks!!!
You totally can!
Excellent update on bathroom vanity. Excellent savings from outside Firms.
I’ve never seen anybody paint over the hinges but yours came out great
They turned out beautiful.
Thank you!
Ahh The same cabinets, I'll have to try this out! Great information Great video!
This was a cute DIY at the end! LOL
Lol this turned out great. Very much enjoyed the outtakes, far more humanizing bc this is ALL of us DIY-era lol new sub!
Thank you!
Being real is good 😅
Thank you for the video! My bathroom is soo stuck in the 80's and it definitely needs a new remodel. I'm going to try to do it all by myself, maybe not the lighting, but painting definitely!!!
You can definitely do it! Good luck!
@@ErinSpainDIY have you redone caulking on a tub? Mine has mold under it and falling apart, but NEEDS help

And LOL...if I included all the outtakes my videos would be twice as long! LOL
Cheers
Thank you!
I hope I can do this. It definitely looks worth trying.
EEEERRRRIIIIIN!!. you rock👍👍👍👍
Those outtakes had me rolling
Thank you!

I came here to second this - protect those lungs, that covid-era mask won't help at all
You are so hilarious! Loved it!❤️
Thank you!
So nice! Wish I didn't have that all one piece bathroom sink so I can do my counter tops.
Nice work 🤩👏
The bloopers were worth the whole video lol
Lol thanks!
Vanity
love it
Thank you!
Love the video format ❤props from Toronto
Hey Erin, New subscriber. Thanks for the info. The outtakes made my day lol.
Glad you enjoyed!
EXCELENTE !!! GRACIAS !!👋🇲🇽
Love it👍👍
Thank you!
Your too funny !
Great video !
Thank you!
Very nice. Wanna update bathroom. Paint walls, paint vanity, change vanity top and frame big mirror..what do I do first, paint the walls??
You could either start with painting the vanity or the walls. I would probably start with walls.
My kinda girl! Bare feet, shorts, tank top. U gotta. Exactly what I am doing in my bathroom…for sale.
Thank you for the video. The cabinet came out beautiful !…So, Is it optional to sand and prime counter top before spraying? Thank you.
You have to sand to rough it up. Priming isn’t necessary.
How about if it was previously painted. Would you completely sand the old paint or also just scuff it down?
Just scuff it!
Nice
This turned out great! Also, where is your tank top from? I NEED it
Thank you! The Girl Power tank is from my friend Sam from @diyhuntress! She sells them in her shop: teespring.com/stores/diyhuntress
Nice. Your bathroom is exactly like mine wxept the floors and my vanity top is white tile. I will be painting vanity too and framing the mirror. I just don't know what to do with the vanity top yet?
I like your hair!
Thank you!
Came out great. Is there a reason you did not add handles or knobs???
Thanks! I wanted to keep them simple and there are finger slots at the top of each door to make opening them easy, but you could certainly add them if you wanted to!
Hi Erin, New subscriber. I loved how this bathroom turned....this is what my bathroom needs. I love the color choice the Behr line at Home Depot is great. Please share with us where you got your super cute tank top!! 😁😆👍🏡
Thank you! My friend @diyhuntress sells the cute tank tops in her shop at www.diyhuntress.com.
Hahah i love !! Awesome video! Would you recommend this color as a neutral color to go with anything?
Thank you! Yes it’s a nice warm gray which is a good neutral.
Thank you. Now I have the confidence to do my rental vanities.
Awesome! So happy to hear that.
How does this look now two years later? I’m keen to do something similar but worried it will scratch up pretty fast!!
Not sure since we sold this place soon after this video was made but I’ve used this same technique with good results in other bathrooms.
Hi Erin, can you use the epoxy spray on the sink as well?
Thanks for the video, quick Q though, I followed your instruction and used epoxy on my kids bathroom. I saw it gets stains after a week and a small chip. Do you think I should have used another paint to seal it? Not sure what I did wrong, we let it dry up for a week before we used the sink again!?
Yep in order for you to not get stains you should Let it cure for a good week especially if you have kids and I didn’t like the spray more than I like the Apoxsee paint that’s a little thicker
Great idea. Did you use the same grit sandpaper for all the sanding? Also, no sealer over the counter finish?
Nope she says what grit she used on each item 120 and 130 and if you’re using epoxy you do not need a sealant
Could you use the white aproxy in the sink too? My countertop and sink is all one...
Yes but I’m not sure how well it would hold up. I would probably let it cure longer before using the sink.
Yes you can but I’m not using the spray to do my countertops Rustolium has the same product but in a can version and it’s a little thicker than that spray

Can the sink be painted if needed?
Did you use a finish paint/topcoat
No I didn't, although you could use a polycrylic topcoat on the cabinets if you want added protection.
You did a great job ! Where did you get the flooring in the bathroom?
Thank you! It’s from Floor and Decor.
What is flooring product name and type of material?
I've been considering this for my kids' bathroom. How's it holding up? (What's your verdict for 3 rowdy kids?)
We sold this place shortly after this makeover. I would say this isn’t a long term solution, especially for a bathroom that sees a lot of use, but it’s a great money saving option for the short term if you can’t afford to replace an old vanity.
For the counter. Does it work on colored countertops?
I assume it would.
How many hours/days before you could use the sink?
I didn’t use it on the sink, only the countertop, but I was still very careful for a couple days since I didn’t want to drip water on it before it fully cured. I would wait at least 24 hours.
Love this so much! About how much did it cost?
Thank you! I already had paint and primer on hand but I got the countertop epoxy for about $12 on Amazon!
@@ErinSpainDIY awesome thank you
Did you get any drips from the appliance epoxy? I just did a test to make sure I liked the finish before I attempted the actual countertop and I found that I had to wipe my nozzle off every 3-4 sprays (they were short bursts). Even then, I still got some :( Any tips?
I didn’t really have an issue. I remember getting one or two drips and I just immediately wiped them and resprayed that area while it was still wet. I didn’t have an issue with the nozzle though.
How many cans did you use on the counter?
Just one.
is that a formica countertop? I am planning to use this on our 80’s faux marble countertop. Do you think this will work?
Yes, and it should!
I have a really large ok’d vanity in my home that has the I’m not sure how to exactly describe it but the wood with a thin plastic type top to it countertop which I hate! Would this process work for mine? Or am I better just replacing the top all together?
*old vanity sorry
It’s worth a try! If you’re going to replace it anyway you might as well try this first. I assume it would work. Let me know if you do try it!
Erin Spain I will definitely let you know if it works. Thank you so much 😊
I have some small yellow marks on my counter top now. Any idea what may be causing it? Did you seal the countertop after the epoxy?
Heat. Your straightener maybe
is your floor tile or a vinyl?
It’s tile.
How long does the strong smell linger for?
It depends on how much ventilation you have. I didn't have any nearby windows to open so it lasted a couple days. If you can open windows and let it air out then maybe just a day.
Erin Spain thanks for the quick response. Love your videos. New subscriber here.
Hey Erin, love the video, gives me confidence to redo mine. Quick question: how long did you wait for the first coat of paint to dry before applying the second to the vanity?
About 2-3 hours or so.
Where are you located

Hi Erin - could you please tell me about the cross tattoo on your wrist?

Why does every house makeover need to be done in the color gray? It looks so ugly and depressing! Ughhh
Because neutral sells and this house was being put on the market. Also, some people like it. It may look ugly and depressing to you but calming to someone else. Believe it or not, not everyone shares your taste. Good news though, no one is forcing you to paint your own home gray.
