Painting The Kitchen Video :: Painting Tips

We are back in the kitchen today with a few painting tips as we video diary the process of revamping the Temporary Home. In this video you will get a peek at the first coat of paint going up, which is kind of exciting and a little scary, too! I always freak out a little when I first dive into a color because it is such a big change, especially when going with a color as dark as black! But this time I think the color is awesome and when we come back you will get to see how amazing it looks and how it really sets of the cabinets! Painting the Kitchen is, without a doubt, the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to make a big impact and doing a dark color only adds to the end result!

This next video is more of a bloopers… a what not to try at home, if you may, kind of video. After using several different screw drivers to unscrew the outlet cover (yes, now I know what it is called… I blame the fact that I speak five languages, all of them badly) I was about to video my husband prepping the kitchen to paint when I realized that he was unscrewing the cover with a butter knife. Did I mention the fact that I didn’t marry him for his brains? I didn’t marry him for money or handy skills either… just why did I matter him anyways? Haha! He charmed me and made me laugh… ah, yes, that!

Well, anyways, take a peek at these little Design Diary videos and let us know in the comments if you like these types of videos or if you prefer we just get to the finish line!
