Repainting the whole wall is probably the simplest solution, and that will allow it to stay even throughout the years. If sunbleaching is the culprit, you'll just end up with two different colours again in a few years if you try to match the current colour. Also, if you usually have a lamp on your nightstand in addition to the wall light, that can also have affected the colour of the wall.

I would just paint the one wall, I don't think it will be noticeable to the other walls as there is always a slight shade difference due to the light direction. You will save time and headache trying to colour-match exactly. Either that or a nice wallpaper? :D

With paint, not only does it change in the sun, but not every tin of the same colour will be exactly the same shade. The labels on the tins often advise mixing two tins together if you need multiples to avoid colour differences. I've never bothered and almost always have got away with it, except in one room where I switched to a new tin after cutting in the second coat. You can really really see it...

Your mom is right. Paint ages. Also gloss paint goes cream with age. If you use white satin for your woodwork, not only is it water based and brushes wash out with water, but the colour stays white, and looks classier.

I used a paint color that took about two weeks to “cure” to the actual color. I was pretty panicked when the initial coats were NOT right. I paused for a few days to research new colors and in that time I noticed the paint color deepened and changed. I waited and two weeks later it was exactly what I wanted. Maybe you just need to let the paint cure. Edit to add: I wonder if it got too cold over the winter and maybe that messed up the paint. 🤷‍♀️

Hear me out- what your mini room needs is a wallpaper accent wall. You could make it removable by just gluing the wallpaper to some cardboard the right size, then take that out! And for “wallpaper” you could use nice printed patterns at the right scale

As a painter I clean my brushes with cooking oil, margerine or vaseline: rub it on and let it sit a while, then wash it off with dish soap. This also works for adhesive residue as well as paint. Also I use it to wash my hands instead of putting turpentine on my skin. It might save you from having to use a scraper in the future.

Hide it!! 😂 Put a big plant there, it'll look great 💜

About the wall: How many coats did you do of the white originally? Maybe the previous wallcolour was shining through a bit and adding another layer covered that up? But I agree with the comments that just painting the whole wall seems like the easiest way to solve this, other than just living with a slightly whiter patch

@kaybee7860

Ariel is so skilled but the vision of her painting above her mobilia without any protection stressed the hell out of me 😂 and her mixing the paint in her beautiful chair too

If you rolled the paint on the bedroom wall originally; you may be seeing a texture difference more than a color difference. I'd try a roller being careful to feather it out so you don't end up with roller lines

@fountainpeninsanity3344

Ай бұрын

Yes! This is what I was thinking too!

I've had the same problem with the paint...I think your mom is right that the colors tend to age. Also, I think it's pretty common that two cans of the same pale, subtle shade would be slightly different because just a little pigment in the mix makes a big difference. Someone below said to just repaint that one wall, and I agree--you probably won't notice the shade difference if it changes at a corner!

Haven’t even watched the video yet but seeing it uploaded made me so happy. I don’t know how Ariel does it, her videos are so therapeutic. The longer the better is my preference! 😅 I just love her personality and how she adapts to whatever situation. It makes my own anxieties about life go away. Thank you, Ariel!

The paint problem is called flashing, it often happens when you touch up paint. Did you paint the wall with a brush or roller before? Because it’s usually a texture change and if you used a roller and then touched up with a brush it can look different. You could try feathering out the paint at the edges to blend it more or maybe thinning the paint slightly. The best result would come from repainting the whole wall though unfortunately

The issue you had in your room with the paint not matching has happened to me a few times. It's very frustrating! I figured it was because after a while the sun changes the wall color but I've noticed it usually happens where I've spackled. 🤷🏻‍♀️

One thing with the wall - you probably should use a roller. You can also take your full paint can to the hardware store and most stores will put it on the paint mixer for free.

you could always turn the white patch in your bedroom into a cloud mural :)

Feather the edges of paint when doing touch ups. Have just a touch of paint on the tip of brush and kinda dry brush the edges up touch up and feathering out. Not a “perfect” fix but usually blends the patch in so you don’t even notice it and you don’t have to paint the whole wall. Has worked for me for years. Hope this helps!

Your mom is absolutely right. Sun and just exposure to air ages and changes paint color, even if you have some left over paint in a can, it will be different from what’s on the wall. Sometimes it’s just easier to color match at the hardware store. Or repaint everything.

Man I need more videos with the tiny room! I grinned the whole way through you pulled out these tiny furniture and when you placed them inside I was squealing 😅😅😅😅

Did you ever play with AG Mini's? The American Girl Doll company made tiny rooms with magnetic walls, electricity and furniture with reversible textiles. They were so much fun. You'd probably enjoy them too 😁

I think if you only paint the slanted part of the wall in the desired white color, it would deceive the eye that the entire wall is one white color since the slanted part also has natural shadowing from being slanted. Hope this can help!

Ariel maybe you should try sanding the paint first to remove the other colour putting the other over top might make a difference to the colour

great video, glad to see so many updates to the house!! but also the sound of the scraper on the glass panes 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

The lone sink and hanging lightbulb makes me chuckle in a good way.

Regarding the bedroom wall: Most wall colors are water soluble after they have dried. If you have a little nick in the wall you can go over it with a wet sponge. Maybe you can try to soften the edge of the new patch with a wet sponge? Hope that helps make it less obvious.

The mini room reminds me of Monica's apartment from Friends with the purple and brick.

Sometimes washing the walls helps get an accurate sense of whether dust particles have stuck to the wall making it slightly discolored

I’m just obsessed with the excitement, creativity, and commitment to the tiny room decorating 😂 it really is the little things

Yay, more Ariel, what a treat ❤

if you ever come back to Chicago, pleeeeeeeease let me take you to my neighborhood bookstore!! it is a magic place, idk how they fit so many books in such a small space

Paint will change over time! I usually just repaint whole walls rather than spot paint. The sun can change the colour. Also dirt and dust in the air can grey the paint. Paint will also just naturally fade over time.

Daughter of a contractor here, she always told me that re-painting small sections needs to happen in a couple of days of the entire section being painted; otherwise you will drive yourself crazy trying to get it to match, and as your mom said, it will not age the same as the rest of the wall and you will always be able to tell. I'm sorry to say it, but you're options are to cover up the spot with something (furniture, tapestry, wallpaper etc.) or repaint the wall.

I love your little quirks (typing a to do list on a typewriter!). Totally makes sense☺️

What a relatable video! I really love those "miscellaneous tasks" videos just as much as the ones about the bigger projects, it's somehow really satisfying to watch you get the "little" things done (and gives me a much needed kick in the butt to do the same 😅). I feel your pain regarding the paint, though. Isn't it just great (emphasis mainly on grrrrrrr) when a seemingly short and simple task stubbornly keeps producing more problems? Then again: Three more tasks are done, yayyy! 🎉 Love the new miniature room, it really looks like someone's living there! 😍

For the paint, you can cut out a patch of the paint wall (only need an inch by inch piece) and colour match in store :) done this before and it worked for me

Your little laugh brings me so much joy 😊

Oh the nostalgia of that wicker duck beside your bed!! I had one on my kitchen table growing up in Manitoba. Love to see one again

for the paint color, you can create a small batch that matches by adding a bit of yellow and red, and the tiniest bit of black. if you have any little bottles of acrylic that’ll work. i did this once when i accidentally ripped the paint off my apartment wall with tape so i had to color match it to cover that spot 😂

To mix paint properly it's best to shake the bin/bottle (actually roll & turn upside down several times really).

We enjoyed every minute of watching you work. The paint is a bit of a mystery for sure.

Aaahhh ariel I love your house reno videos! They're my little happy place, I have been following you since you bought your house! It's so cute ❤much love 🥰

If you have to clean windows like that in the future, Goo-Gone or Oven Cleaner will make your job so much quicker. Goo-Gone will get rid of most adhesives and paints, and anything Goo-Gone doesn't get off, Oven Cleaner will get rid of. I've had to clean a lot of windows and mirrors, that looked like that, and those two items save me so much time and effort. :)

More Ariel again so soon, what is this most illustrious gift?! ❤

Yes, the dollhouse rooms in Chicago! Also, I love this idea of a single room of a doll house that you can refurnish as you want. I have doll house furniture from my mom, from me and from my kids and I was sad to pack it all away-my kids are long past playing with a dollhouse. You wonderful mad person for giving me inspo to make a doll room.

love the soapy water trick for the stickers. I do something similar when trying to get labels of my old candle jars (so I can repurpose them).

My dad used to always say that if you use the same paint at different times it can “oxidize” (i don’t actually know if that’s what causes it) but the pigment does change over time!

For the wall I don‘t know why it happens, but my solution when repainting a small patch is to really thin out the paint at the edges, go over it with a dryer and dryer brush. This way there are no hard edges and as long as the colour is similar you don’t notice it. Although your patch may be a bit big for that, who knows.

You are one of the sweetest and kindest person on youtube but I always see you mostly doing the renos alone except for occasionally seeing your mom and dad helping you out. I know your brother and your boyfriend live in your house or has that changed? If they live with you, do they ever help you with your reno work? If they do live with you, do they also pay you rent so you can invest more money in fixes to your house? If I had adults living in my house (and yes I own my own house) I would charge them rent and ask them to help out with the renovations since they are living in my house.

I LOVE the miniature room update, it may be my fave yet! 💕💕

This! Without reloading the applicator, feather the edges by making light strokes that extend slightly past the edge onto the surrounding wall. Feathering creates a less noticeable transition between the new and old paint, which will help the touch-up spot blend into the wall.

For the wall colour, it's completely normal. Not only does colour change over time as your mother said, for environmental reasons (sun, smoke, CO2 from your breath, etc) but it also has slight differences between pots of paint. You should repaint those 2 walls (ceiling and wall behind the bed). You will not notice the colour difference between the different walls as the angles will conceal any slight colour nuances. Colour changes are only noticeable if they occur on the same wall.

I blend when patching by thinning the edges with a wet sponge so that there’s a transition and it’s not so one color to another it’s a wash to the original, you could add some tea, or coffee to give it a tint darker, I used to retouch photos matching colors is easier than you think 😊

@kaybee7860

Ай бұрын

yes!! creating matching colors is pretty easy! even if you don’t know what you’re doing, just keep adding more colors and you get it eventually

Your paint: when you redo a patch, use a sparing amount of paint. It looked a little thick on your brush. The most important thing to do is to feather your edges. If you don’t feather the edges on the patch you will always see the patch.

You'll likely have to repaint the entire wall. BUT if you're not wanting to do all of that quite yet and want to try something. I like to feather out the edges of the repainted patch areas. So then at least the lines of new vs old paint isnt so harsh and it might be able to blend into one another with the naked eye. Paint the area again, then with the same brush with less paint on it, or barely any, softly brush out the lines so it blends into the old paint. Hope that makes sense, and helps!

I'm obsessed with that mini room! I literally audibly gasped when I saw it and immediately announced to my partner that I have to make one somewhere in our house. I may not b able to do one inset in our walls though bc our wall are quite thin here. But a 3d shadow box would look awesome ❤
