why am i exhausted just by watching this prep?
I can't believe I was able to paint my bedroom AND my office/music studio by myself. Seriously, thank you so much for this video! I literally grabbed EVERYTHING you asked, didn't question it, and followed everything you said. Y'all are the bomb!

Im curious, if you don’t mind sharing how much money did you spend on paint supplies excluding the paint? I bought some supplies the other day and it was so expensive 😭
It's amazing how many people still do terrible paint jobs when this video is free on KZread. Thanks, Monica!

hello comment from 3 years ago. I watched this video first. I still got my painters tape sticking to my hands and pants and getting all crooked. My drop cloth got tangled. I splattered paint everywhere. Knowing is half the battle. Not being an incredible clutz is the part that gets me though.
She's a real asset to everyone. Please keep her coming!
So detailed. Love it. Bring back The Weekender. We love Monica.
Okay, powers that be, Monica is incredibly popular and deserves her own show. Her personality, skill and style are fabulous and so relatable. BTW I volunteer my home for the first episode!

She's annoying and doesn't do much of the work. But that's not needed to be a celeb.
Wow I love Monica! I don't usually leave comments but she just made painting a room seem so accessible doable! I was debating even doing it myself but now I definitely will be!
She's a fantastic teacher, so descriptive, eloquent and so innately and effortlessly informative
Ok, I may need more than a day to do my painting...

her voice is perfect for giving instructions
Yay!! Monica’s back. Always great to see a video with her. Please bring back the weekender.
So we love Monica, Lowe’s please make her a regular feature.
Watching this in 2020: "You're gonna need a face mask". Yep, got those!

Thank you so much!!!! 21 years old and painting and prepping my room all by myself!!!! just bought sparkle to patch the hols in my wall! thank you!!!!!
I truly appreciate you taking time out to postthis video. Most of the time, there isn’t enough information in the video to help you move forward. I can’t wait to watching more on it in the near future. Thanks again for posting it.
MONICA! Another vote for bringing The Weekender back.

I love watching Monica. I used a lot of her videos to help me prep for my kitchen and living room make-over. Due to an accident it now wont happen. She is still great to watch and help me believe that I still may be able to do something one day. Thanks Monica
I don’t know how often I watched every segment with Monica. I love the weekender. It’s the absolute best. I love Monica and everything she does. PLEASE BRING BACK THE WEEKENDER!!! I promise I will watch every episode about 100 - 700 times.

watching this cause since it's quarantine, why not change my room for make-over.
Just came here after watching Home Depot's, what a contrast for this tutorial. So helpful, thank you!
Awwww glad I saw this video. We just brought a home and I'm actually sitting in the middle of a room floor staring at my computer figuring where the heck I'm going to start. I want to do upgrades on my home myself where I can feel extra proud. Figuring out colors has me cornered for the moment but surely I'll get to the right place.

Loved the video. Thank you big mamma Monica for all the juicy tips!
It looks so beautiful Monica, i cant wait to see another makeover
the most helpful video about painting prep!
This is the most informative show I have seen thanks
Very thorough! Answers a ton of questions. I am on it!!
Im so glad Im went here for painting preperation. I haven’t painted for decades. My dad never done this at home. I can show how we do it now in 2020
Great and detailed video!
Yay, you’re back!
Personally, I'd recommend going over previously painted walls with a damp rag instead of a dry one to remove any dust from sanding.
Yay! She’ssssss backkkkkk! Please bring back the weekender😁

I saw the video and benefited from you and learned many things related to painting the room. Good luck and more progress Thank you very much.
Exactly the video I needed - thank you so much for explaining everything so clearly!
Amazing video, full of useful tips, thank you very much!
Incredible! Thank you!
My walls right now has drawings, crayons, pencils, pen marks, and spider webs in the corners. All courtesy of a girl in her toddler days. The walls in this video has none of that but it doesn't matter as a spray bottle with mild detergent can take care of the spider webs and dirt. The paint with overwhelm and cover up the child's scribble and artwork, nice! Thanks so much for your video.
welcome back Monica!!!!

So funny to see Monica mention eye protection and face mask but not have her hair tucked away in a shower cap. Other than that, great presentation! Glad to see the confirmation that I was doing the right steps and had the right tools! I especially loved the use of the painter's knife (multipurpose tool) for the caulking edge!
Waiting patiently for season 5... Miss you Monica💖

Monica, are you a teacher when you're not doing videos? If not, well you should be You are fabulous! Not too loud that I had to keep turning you down. Not too quiet that I strained to hear. Very informative and concise. To be frank, I could listen to you all day, but damn it, I have a room to go prep. Thanks for the great tutorial! CHEERS from Kansas City, MO!

This is a very good video, it's all about the prep. Never use dust sheets without plastic underneath, paint drips will always drip through the weave.
I like the way she says caulk 😁 thanks KZread for this random video suggestion.
I watched this video and it was super helpful as I prepped for my first solo job!! Really glad I took the time to properly prep!
That's nice, thank you so much
