DIY Chalk Paint on an Oak Bench
This project was super fast- less then an hour including dry time! Our city does bulky trash and we picked up this gem along with several other pieces. I’m putting this in our entryway for taking shoes off.
The bench itself is a finished oak. Typically with chalk paint I don’t bother sanding. But I ran the sander over the seat since it’s going to be seeing a lot of use. I wanted to make sure that paint will stay!
DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHALK PAINT!
Over the years I’ve experimented with different recipes and find I like the non-sanded grout to be the easiest for me. I’m to the point where I don’t even measure anymore and just eyeball it. The standard recipe is at the end of the v...

      @the_blue_door_house 2 года назад

      When we did our flooring, it was $3/sqft. You must get 10% more flooring to account for waste. Our room was about $1000 in the end with quarter round and underlayment boards.

    Nice job! I may have missed this because the video cruised quickly…your underlay material…you smoothed out the subfloor with a leveling mud and then look like maybe a 1/4” underlay on top of the subfloor?

    • @the_blue_door_house
      @the_blue_door_house 2 года назад

      We laid down 1/4” underlayment on top of the existing subfloor. And yes, we used mud to level and sand the bottom floor. There was one spot in particular that was wonky so it took extra mud and sanding to level it! It’s all dependent on your floors and how anal you are for how level it is!

      Oh no- if you want to do it right, it'll take some time! The first corner takes 2-3 hours. But once that's down, the rest is a breeze....as in a couple more hours and you're done. But that's just laying the floor, not including prep!

    • @the_blue_door_house
      @the_blue_door_house 3 года назад

      We used spacers along all the walls against the trim. That’s not mentioned I don’t think in our video. Since it’s a “floating” floor you have to have that wiggle room and allow for expansion! We used a nail gun to place quarter round above it, secured to the trim. I’m not sure if that clarifies what we did for you- but thanks for watching! ✌🏼

      @waynehughes8616 3 года назад

      @@the_blue_door_house I either did not watch until the end of your video or video did not show quarter round installed. But, yes your reply that describes 1/4" gap of newly installed flooring between flooring and wall to floor trim, covered with 1/4 round would solve the problem of removing and reinstalling floor trim to cover flooring to wall gap............which is brilliant!

    • @the_blue_door_house
      @the_blue_door_house 3 года назад

      You’re right! It’s not in the video. In the description I think I put in there this isn’t a perfect how to! I just want people to see how easy it really is and not be so afraid of it. In the tools we used I included spacers (but no indication as to how it’s used!) ✌🏼
