    Kelly you’re so inspiring, we’re thinking about painting our cabinets as well. QQ, do you recommend like washing cabinets a light off white color? Thank you!!!

  • @Kelly_Tang
    @Kelly_Tang6 күн бұрын

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :) Do you mean Limewashing the cabinets? I wouldn't recommend using limewash on cabinets because it's a high touch area. Limewash isn't like paint where you can touch up if it gets dirty. You have to repaint the limewash for the entire surface area or else it'll look blotchy. Limewash is also prone it chipping. If you want to achieve the limewash look, I'd recommend diluting 2 shades of the same color paint (ex. light brown and dark brown), then applying it in a criss-cross patern on the wall to mimic limewash.

    Did the crescent cream wash look yellow at all once applied to the dresser, or did it look more white? It’s hard to tell from the video. I want a nice white wash, but no yellow tones. Thanks

  • @Kelly_Tang
    @Kelly_Tang15 күн бұрын

    The cream wash makes it look whiter. If you see any yellow undertones, it’s from the original wood. If you want your wood piece to look closer to white, you can add more white to your wash. It’s very flexible. Hope this helps!

(In your Total Cost it seems we'll only need 1,050 ml or 35 OZ)? 3. As far as I understand, Patina Coat is the Top Coat in your Project. If I want to put another top coat for durability, is there any suggestion?

    Hi Angela! Thank you so much for subscribing. I feel honored to be your first YT subscription 🥹 The poly urethane was applied to only the wood, not the burlap. I used gorilla spray on glue to attach the burlap. The wooden frame also holds the burlap onto the wardrobe. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

    New subscriber here, I love how you did this. The screenshots help those of us who want to recreate this. And I’m obsessed with the way you were doodling the plan in the beginning.. I wish my journal looked like that. Also, can I just use a warmer white instead of going back in the end? You should also add the cost without the tools! I think I saw it in one of your shorts but, it would be nice in the video too.

    Hi Charlie! Thank you so much for subscribing and I’m glad you liked the journaling at the beginning ☺️ Regarding your question, are you referring to the paint wash? You can adjust the wash with any paint color you want, so if you want the wood to lean more white, add more white paint. LMK if you have any other questions! Happy to answer them 🥰

  • @Kelly_Tang

    Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad the cost break down in part 1 was helpful. The quartz countertop was about $10k total with material and labor cost. I don’t remember the breakout but it was roughly $5k for material and $5k for labor. We did the flooring for the entire house and it cost ~$15k for labor and material. The recess lights were about $200 each to install, so for our kitchen alone, it was $1.2k (we have 6 lights). I hope this helps!
