This is great! I plan on sanding and staining my yellow oak kitchen cabinets.
Yay! Glad it was helpful to you.
Is painting boring yellow brick on a 1960s home a big no no if we're thinking about selling in a year or two?
Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Do you mean that the brick has already been painted over and your home is now a yellow color?
Promo-SM 😓
it is edible but taist less...
Im a painter!! Ive been painting 6 yrs
Got 8 numbers, put it backwards, wouldnt work? Help please?
Try easy sand 45
First, I really appreciate the information that you are providing. But I think you would get more views if you had one of your interior friends help you with your space where you make your videos. I typically skip over any videos where the backdrop is an appealing. Again, I say this with love and respect.
Good feedback.
You could look at Saiger's p-lime zime too for cleaning the carpet. A good hot water extraction cleaning
Thank you for the tip! The rest of the carpet is not great either so I think we will be replacing.
Looks more like a failed ☣️ cleanup
Yes. It’s a large quantity of pet urine. 🤢
where is your dress from?
Old Navy and is recent! I love it soooo much!!! oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=753045012&cid=3017145&pcid=15292&vid=1&nav=meganav%3AWomen%3AShop+Women%27s+Categories%3ADresses+%26+Jumpsuits#pdp-page-content
What was the fluid
Pet urine, most likely
Pet urine. I believe they had dogs; not cats.
Huh. How effective is it for the money/complexity saved from using no ductwork? Because if it saves material and money, and isn't much worse? Sounds awesome!
WELL, the only reason I think it was even feasible is because the house and crawlspace construction is ICF / insulated concrete forms - which is essentially concrete poured in between Styrofoam "walls". A normal stick build home would not have a similar energy efficiency. The home was built in 1998 by a former engineer. I don't think it is suitable for most homes, for one reason or another. Cost is one - ICF is far more expensive to built than typical stick.
@@pnwerica Ah, fair enough. Still a very clever idea!
drywall
How long in elapsed time did this take you? Maybe by each step?
This was awhile ago so I honestly don't remember. But definitely can take awhile the more pieces you have...😬
bro became the garfield meme
You gotta chew drywall hard. It’s not gonna work with just your teeth, maybe buy a prechewer?
Fr and she should get inspirational pamphlet for 100 drywall bites
yeah, and ninja traininf course for 15,000 drywall@@Treybey13
WHAT
You can eat that?
Bro thought she was in Roblox
This looks so yummy
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YO-
@@chailantz4309 what’s wrong with that I want to eat drywall too
@@ANGRY_MUNCI404 idk.. like...
True tho
@@chailantz4309uhm..
is that even edible
Finally!!! Thank you so much. I hate that the only tutorials I can find involve painting my beautiful wood cabinets. I want to highlight the natural wood not hide it! This trend is going to become very popular I bet!
Thank you for saying so. ♥
Looks like it came out kind of splotchy.
:-(
Mmmmm
Nice work! Thank you for posting this inspiring video! Seriously, it's the exact scenario I need to deal with. What did you do to clean/prepare the gutters prior to painting? Also, I don't see that your plants are masked off, did you not have issues with drips? I was also considering renting/buying a scaffolding because I can't really fit a bucket truck where my gutters are, on the side of the house. After watching you, though, you're inspiring me to try your method.
Hi @jdaniels1313! I had an exterior maintenance company soft pressure wash the exterior surfaces of the gutters before I painted. LOL, I did not care about dripping on the plants so I did not cover them! I didn't have issues with drips either. DO IT!! It doubles as a work out too!
@@pnwerica I just completed my 2nd story gutter wash & paint, in Lacey WA, using essentially your technique! Funny, I had it in my head you used a paint pad rather than a small roller on the end of that extension pole, so I first tried the paint pad, and it sucked! How DID she get that paint pad to work??!! Lol. I think I mixed up your video with another one where someone used a paint pad. Then I tried a small roller like you used, and used essentially the same technique I realized you were using here. It worked beautifully! Also, I noticed that if I was careful to not overload the roller with paint, there were almost no issues with drips. So that answers why you didn't lay down a drop cloth--it was unnecessary! Anyway, thank you for sharing your approach; it showed me how this project COULD be successfully done without getting up on a ladder! Equipment and supplies I used: 1) For pressure washing the gutters, approx. 20 feet above ground: Pressure washer extension pole: B E PRESSURE 85.206.424L Telescoping Wand, 4-Stage, 24' Length, 4000 psi, 200 Degree F, 8.0 GPM, Black/Yellow 2) Pressure washer: PowerStroke Subaru 3100 PSI Electric Start Pressure Washer (Sold by Costco, I bought in 2017) 3) For painting: Unger 24 ft. Aluminum Telescoping Pole with Connect and Clean Locking Cone and Quick-Flip Clamps, $54 at Home Depot 4) I used the Sherwin Williams "Rain Refresh" paint that is supposed to prevent a buildup of grime. Time will tell if it actually does... I bought the brightest white they had. I went with the 24 foot extension pole, but found it had too much flex if I used the topmost extension, so I closed that one down and only used the bottom two extensions and had more control. I do have some stuff to paint where I'll need to use it at near-full extension, and it WILL work, just not as productively as when there is less flex. Next project for me is cleaning out that 2nd story gutter! Higher than I'm comfortable being on a ladder, so I'll try the pressure washer extension pole and J-shaped sprayer tip attachment.
@@jdaniels1313 For sure the pole gets wobbly! I experienced that too! Definitely an arm workout for control. I didn't even pressure wash my gutters; I hired someone to do that. 😂 Also good to know about the Sherwin Williams "Rain Refresh" paint - we need it here! Thanks for your thoughtful reply.
u r not garfield
We live in a duplex with the same kind of heating, but I think it is a poor design. My parents average between 500-600 dollar electric Bill's about 6 months out of the year for a 2 bedroom. My aunt lives next door and their bill is about half.
when this system was popular(70's&80's) there were gov't subsidies and electric company assistance for the bill. that made this system very efficient.
Yez i like eating dry wal
Love it! I love the idea. Hate the thought of throwing out SOLID WOOD cabinets but also don't want to hide the natural beauty. Thank you!
Thanks for commenting and glad you enjoyed!😀
for drilling just use a painters tape and put them on the handle . mark the holes, peel and put to the cupboard
So I have the end caps on my cabinets that are laminate. Would you just go ahead and try and match the cabinet stain to a paint and paint the end caps?
That is tough. I think you could also replace them with or add on top a thin veneer of wood that could be stained to match the cabinets.
I had the Penny Lane Mannington installed in my bathroom in 2016

I have the quarter round trim on my baseboards with laminate flooring. I was told by my builder because I have a floating floor that expands and contracts with the weather the quarter round trim protects the edges of the floating floor 🤷🏻♀️
When a floating floor is installed, it can't be installed flush against the wall or existing baseboards because of the expanding and contracting that happens. So the builder is correct! Any trim would cover the small gap; doesn't have to be quarter round. I am guessing that you also have baseboards and the floor was installed AFTER the baseboards were in...hence the need for an ADDITIONAL trim piece.
This is one of the first good tutorials for what to do with my kitchen oak cabinets. I love the wood look, but want to bring my kitchen out of the 90's without painting an opaque color over the beautiful oak wood. You have inspired me. Crossing fingers I'll get started next spring when I can sand outside in the garage, and not indoors.
@juliaschirmers278 Thank you for saying so! I am so happy these videos have been inspirational to so many people! If you have some free space in your garage I suppose you could sand there as well. The dust does travel a few feet though.
linoleum is not the same as vinyl....
You are correct.
This series is exactly what I was looking for…a way to light old honey oak without painting or bleaching. Are varnish strippers like Citrustrip or Klean Strip effective, or is sanding the best/quickest way to go? I’d prefer to avoid the wood dust…plus my cabinet doors have some molding and other indentations that I’d have to get into. Thank you.
Hello @misterrr ! So sorry for my tardy reply. I am so happy this video was helpful for you! I tried CitriStrip myself and it kept pulling red up and into the wood. So, while it removed the top poly coat and the the existing stain, it left behind a red tone to the wood - which was the counter of what I was trying to do. I did not try Klean Strip or the Jasco version. My thought was that the top coat / stain level was so minimal that the sanding was the best way to go. There is a tool out there...that you can put on the end of your drill / driver called a molding flap sanding wheel. You can see it at the bottom of this page: line10tools.com/blogs/blog-posts/got-a-drill-here-are-3-sanding-attachments-for-drills-that-will-save-your-time-and-money That will get into those crevices for you!!
@@pnwerica That’s very useful feedback on the Citristrip, and thank you also for the list of drill attachments.
I have a entire kitchen.. 27 doors and 5 drawers of nothing but the flat faced honey oak cabinets. Exactly like what youve refinished. Haha Ive been stuck on stupid with these cabinets for 10 yrs. As I like the timeless warm tones of wood vs going with a color. This is such a informative video! I cant thank you enough!!
I think Im going with the natural oak look and 2 coats of matte finish. But first its time to sand.... and sand....and sand. LOL!!!!
@ShellBells SO I thank YOU for sharing your feedback!! I am glad to see that my video has helped people. And best of luck!!! Send me a picture when you are done to agentericastout (at) gmail (dot) com!
@@shellbells339 Yes, sand and sand and sand! Please test a swatch of your cabinet if you aren't going with a slight color stain. Just want to make sure you don't end up with something too golden! And please be sure to use the water base "poly" because it truly dries clear.
Stay away from patterms and go with a stone or marble finish. Patterms date fast. Use your head.
Been looking everywhere for this tutorial! Thanks for sharing what you learned
Thanks so much for saying so!!! 🥰
Thank you for sharing this! It’s exactly the look I want for my outdated honey oak cabinets. I’ve never sanded down to the spray wood like this, so I’m nervous! Can you tell me what grit sanding disc you used? Your results were amazing!
Hi Linda! Sorry for the tardy reply! I keep forgetting to look at what grit sanding disks I used. I THINK I did most of the finish removal using medium, and then went back over it with fine once the finish was off. Also, worth noting is that the random orbital sander types like the one I used CAN leave little curved marks in the wood. I've noticed this happening if I use too heavy of a sanding disk. Just another thing to take notice of. 😜 Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
Searched all over for a tutorial on updating honey oak to a blonde…thank you! I’m confused about stirring the polyurethane. You first mentioned not to stir because it causes bubbles and then went on to say it’s important to stir. Help!
Stir ok - don’t shake. 🙂 I must have mis-spoke.
My radiant ceiling heat came in pre-wired sheets of sheet rock. No plaster involved. It went up just like regular sheet rock except for the elec hookup.
That is very interesting! Are you in the US? I am in the US and have not heard of anyone installing new radiant ceiling heat!
Every vinyl I see is micro thin not good for the kitchen
The ones I mention in this video are high quality and cannot be purchased from your "local big box store". They have to be purchased by a flooring specialty store. I have seen many of these in person and they are around 2 mm thick.
you have to look for padded back vinyl. It's hard to find in my country cause the major hardware stores only sell the thin cheap one. Only a few obscure places here sell padded sheet vinyl.
I'm seriously considering sheet vinyl. I have tile and the grout gets dirty so fast. Who wants to scrub grout?
Hee hee, nobody wants to scrub grout. ☺ There are some beautiful tile options out there though. Speaking of options, even since creating this video there have been some new vinyl sheet flooring options released by the manufacturers I referenced in this video.
Thank you for this video
Isn't vinyl sheet flooring toxic though? We just got some and we are airing the house out because I read that vinyl floor emit toxins into the air.
Hello! Sorry for my late reply. I personally have not had any outgassing issues. All of the flooring I have seen installed recently did not have any odor.
Real linoleum is a super green option. Marmoleum company is mentioned here. Pay attention to the instructions of slight shrinking on one side
