What a beautiful finish to your bedroom I’m dead proud of you both. It’s such a lovely feeling when you add furniture to a newly decorated space and even nicer when it’s your first home. Made me dead emotional seeing the end product. It’s a stunning colour too I’m now going to pinch it for mine 😂
two tips I use... 1) use painting try inserts or line with tin foil / cling film as saves you cleaning the tray each time. 2) once you lay low tack tape, go over with the colour you're covering first (white if taping the ceiling) then paint your wall colour... it creates a sharper line and if the tape bleeds its the right colour.
What a transformation, the room looks brilliant. Don’t worry about the initial mistakes with the painting, all DIYers have to start somewhere and learn along the way. You will now know for the next room. I would always paint the white areas first (skirting, door and window frames) then let them dry completely before masking those to put colour on the walls. Great video, well done mate!
Do not use masking tape mate, just get a winder brush and use the edge of it to paint directly the lines. Nobody uses masking tape in the painting industry:)
That looks amazing ❤ The green colour looks 😍😍 The people coming off the trains will get a great sight, if you are in the windows topless 🤣❤ Looking forward to the next video. Merry Christmas Will and Evie.
Please give me all your painting and decorating tips because I still have no idea why the tape was ripping off the green paint 😂😂. Can’t lie tho, I am absolutely chuffed with how the bedroom has come out. Especially considering it was my first time ever properly decorating 🧑🎨.
Will I usually paint the skirtings first and then cut in the wall colour, if you are not confident to cut in using a brush then by all means use tape and if it’s frog tape then yes the yellow one. Remember even allowing gloss to dry it still needs to cure a little so maybe leave a little longer next time before taping. Great job though Will good effort.
Hello mate , im a decorator and if you want your painting to not peel off use the pink tape not the green ones because that one specifically designed to not peel off the paint , cheers
Will I’m so proud of you and Elie buying this place, the excitement of a new place is the challenges it brings. I’d love to know what you’re thinking the first night in front of the Tele looking around thinking we did this.
Ooooh lovely. Green is one of my favourites and I absolutely love the colour you chose, gorgeous bedroom! With masking tape, I stick it to my jumper first then put it on and since it's lost a lot of it's stickiness it doesn't peel off any paint when you rip it off!
Atleast Evie has got a glimpse of her future life at the start. Sometimes it takes years to realise certain problems in a relationship. RUN EVIE... RUN 😂
Tip with masking tape, run the sticky side over your jeans a couple of times, takes away some of the tackiness, still enough to stick but not enough to rip paint off, also when roller painting, i've found going right from ceiling to skirting board in one stroke and work your way along, don't get so much overlap as you do with smaller strokes, sometimes leaving what i call a contour map, where you can see the overlap on the walls. great vid and can't wait for the next installment!!
Pink tape is the lowest tack pull off immediately after painting, I’ve found frog tape to be bad for pulling paint off, use the pink tape from brewers or B&Q’s own brand cheap one, paint your first coat then fill all minor imperfections and spot them back in before doing your second coat, don’t use ready mixed filler as it’s basically concrete, and if your an amateur like me do the finer sanding by hand as you always go to far with an electric sander 😂 these are all things I wish I’d learnt on day one 😂 still learning now and I’m on my second house
Will when the builders painted your flat they not only used the cheapest paint they watered it down. When you paint over it with your new paint it has nothing to stick to so your tape had no resistance and peeled off . The trick is to apply size which will mix with the paint and dry to a sealed surface which will then give your colour a firm undercoat and will not lift off when the tape is removed. Merry xmas bud.
I love the green as I'm a greenie mother earth type of girl. I loved your van for that reason and our van has that as an accent colour inside. It looks wonderful. Well done both if you the room looks amazing, love it ❤ Merry Christmas to you both xx
I knew what would happen with the words painted on the wall. When I helped a mate of mine paint his living room 25 years ago he wrote "wanker" in massive letters and you could see it if you looked at it at an angle in certain lights :) Congrats and good luck with all the work!
Hi Will love the choice of colour olive tree it would look nice in your van if you had to do it up again then its your home from home lol, Well hope you and Evie have a wonderful christmas and great New Year
One little trick is to use a 12” wide putty knife. Just run it along the top edge of the trim as you touch up with a paint brush. Wipe the putty knife off as needed.
Hi will those weird nobbly bits on top of the window sash open the window…. If you pull them simultaneously to the centre of the window then pull the sash towards you the window will open inwards and it’s the same for the top sash of the window too… easy for cleaning and nice in the summer allows more air flow hope this helps 👍🏼
Top marks for using Zinsser. I've had nice results with their 123 primer and paint flaking treatments. Pricey but worth it for peace of mind. Still watching, but the frog tape problem might be because the paint hasn't cured properly - it's not stable. I think I started removing the frog tape straight after painting for this reason but can't quite remember. Other main tip is always use the paint sparingly (quite dry) which means you can then easily feather it all in easily, especially the cutting in of ceilings (the part your roller can't reach) ☺️👍 Edit: The room looks great! ♥️
The 'flaky bits' in your dried paint are probably bits of fluff off the brand new rollers. You can get those off before you start painting to avoid the issue.
Fair play to you mate, turned out really nice considering you did a few jobs the wrong way round 😆Really like the colour you went with too. Looking forward to the next one 👍
Ya my husband and I said that too. Also maybe cover the bed with plastic until the mold issue is taken care of. Great job on the bedroom. Maybe order of operations would have called for the bathroom to be done first but this is how we learn. Looks fab.
Great series and I'm watching with interest, personally I wouldn't have used white emulsion paint on the window sill, skirting boards and door frame (if that is what you used?) its not durable enough or designed for high wear areas, it's really only meant for walls, I'd recommend using eggshell, satin or gloss paint. I'd also ditch the frog tape and just practice cutting in with a brush a steady hand, take your time and you'll achieve straight lines.
Bro just be careful with electrics - even if you’ve turned the power off don’t assume the power is off - you need some system to double check the power is out to the socket or appliance your working in. You can’t guarantee what happens with the wires when behind ceiling and walls 😊
100% !! Just because you (as in most people) do it properly, NEVER assume someone else has too. You never know what Mcguyvor stunts somebody may have done with wiring etc 😵
told ya ..duct tape is yer friend ...and once you move in keep a roll in the bedroom ..dammit i said it out loud ..you aint seen me right ,,,,keep up the work ..its lovely to see a couple that reminds me of the wife and i over 30 yrs ago with not a clue in the world ..but all the energy to conquer everything ..make the most of this time fella ,yer knees wont thank you in later life .
Wow Will, you are sooooo professional! (OCD men are the best!) I have owned 8 different houses (new and older) and in over 50 years when painting, I have never washed or sanded a wall! PS- I have never seen green frog tape in the US....we use 3M blue painters tape and IF the paint has been allowed to dry properly...I have never had that problem! Rooms looks fantastic, are you going to do something about the brown door...maybe replace with a white door? Merry Christmas to you both!
Invest in a decent cutting in brush. Use The pink stuff paste to clean upvc window frames. And obviously sort your leak out or you'll be back to square one. Mind you, you did this in the summer by the looks of it so advise maybe a bit late coming?...
Cracking job, room looks great. 👍🏻 Never use masking tape when painting, if you need to use anything for a straight edge, large post-it note pads do the trick.
I told you last week not to paint samples on the wall as they would show through. Vincent should have told you to sand the walls prior to the first coat. He should have told you to use pink tape (delicate surface) and not green to mask the ceiling and walls. Also there is a technique to removing tape. You shouldn’t put it on uncured paint even if it’s dry. I will DM on insta you and give you good advice.
I’m happy for you. Just curious did you buy the entire building? Is that a flat the entire building or do you have neighbors inside the building? God Bless,
Thanks for the forecast! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
At 1:07, you had a breaker with more than one switch, which probably means you can cut off the power supply to individual rooms. Turning off the switch to the room you are working on is more realistic than powering down the apartment. The Ecflow battery you've got is pretty decent in a pinch, but if you're relying on it to help run your power tools during a home renovation, then your feelings of satisfaction will be replaced with disappointment. Good luck to you with regards to the daunting plumbing work coming up as that kind terrifies the crap out of me and I'll be learning from your experiences.
Please tell me you fixed the massive leak before all this great work!
I advised the same and the comment was deleted. Pointless
Thank you Jake and Finley for helping Will out. Don’t be hard on yourself Will, your a beginner. That room looks well smart 👍👍👍👍

It's will youre talking about , nobody in the motor trade puts their van on ramps with the door open 😂
This was a painful watch 😂 bless him 😂
That looks amazing ❤ The green colour looks 😍😍 The people coming off the trains will get a great sight, if you are in the windows topless 🤣❤ Looking forward to the next video. Merry Christmas Will and Evie.
The cardboard were placed on the screw hinges as door shims to level out the door hangings
Please give me all your painting and decorating tips because I still have no idea why the tape was ripping off the green paint 😂😂. Can’t lie tho, I am absolutely chuffed with how the bedroom has come out. Especially considering it was my first time ever properly decorating 🧑🎨.
hi will try using a low tack tape which means its not as sticky and shouldnt peel off the paint when pulling off
If you paint the skirting board first and then mask it off, the tape won’t peel off the woodwork
Will: and all the nice black sockets are HIDDEN 😒😒
Will I usually paint the skirtings first and then cut in the wall colour, if you are not confident to cut in using a brush then by all means use tape and if it’s frog tape then yes the yellow one.

Lovely bedroom. Wishing you all a wild and magical Christmas. Love and Respect from Norway.
What a transformation!! The bedroom looks amazing Will & Evie! Brilliant job! Happy Christmas to you both! 😎
Will I’m so proud of you and Elie buying this place, the excitement of a new place is the challenges it brings.
I’d love to know what you’re thinking the first night in front of the Tele looking around thinking we did this.
Bedroom looks gorgeous, loving that colour. Great job will.
Ooooh lovely. Green is one of my favourites and I absolutely love the colour you chose, gorgeous bedroom!
With masking tape, I stick it to my jumper first then put it on and since it's lost a lot of it's stickiness it doesn't peel off any paint when you rip it off!
Hi will, look into a method called 'cutting in'. You will get perfect paint lines every time with practice.
I am a professional decorator. Cut in with a brush, you can thin the paint with a little water to help it flow better. Then roll with a 12” roller
Lovely room! We had Jake from Jake Harris Carpets & Flooring do our whole house carpets such a lovely guy and he done fantastic job 👌
Atleast Evie has got a glimpse of her future life at the start.
Sometimes it takes years to realise certain problems in a relationship.
RUN EVIE... RUN
😂
Looks stunning. You are quite right to be chuffed x
You did a great job on the bedroom Will
I hadn't saw that one. Fantastic job you've done of your bedroom. Good to see your wee cheeky chappy self.
Tip with masking tape, run the sticky side over your jeans a couple of times, takes away some of the tackiness, still enough to stick but not enough to rip paint off, also when roller painting, i've found going right from ceiling to skirting board in one stroke and work your way along, don't get so much overlap as you do with smaller strokes, sometimes leaving what i call a contour map, where you can see the overlap on the walls. great vid and can't wait for the next installment!!

That's looking lovely! 😍
I love what you did with the bedroom. I think that's a good shade of green. Not too dark, not too light.
Amazing what a fresh coat of paint will do. Well done, Will.
I love the bedroom. And with the tape. The paint wasn't dry enough to be taped.
Will when the builders painted your flat they not only used the cheapest paint they watered it down.

The trick is to apply size which will mix with the paint and dry to a sealed surface which will then give your colour a firm undercoat and will not lift off when the tape is removed. Merry xmas bud.
Magazine worthy looking bedroom now! Sack the bath and get a shower installed, find the funds it’ll be worth it.
I love the green as I'm a greenie mother earth type of girl. I loved your van for that reason and our van has that as an accent colour inside. It looks wonderful. Well done both if you the room looks amazing, love it ❤
Merry Christmas to you both xx
Looks stunning Will! Great job 👏

Hi Will love the choice of colour olive tree it would look nice in your van if you had to do it up again then its your home from home lol, Well hope you and Evie have a wonderful christmas and great New Year
Well done Will the room looks amazing 🙌❤️
Great job will. It looks really homely
Pretty sure you need to thoroughly stir Dulux heritage paint, rather rhan just give the tub a couple of shakes 👀
Happy Christmas to both of you xx
Should the bed not be on the opposite wall? As the sockets laid out that way.
Well done Will,your bedroom looks verry nice and cozy !!!
I must say, lovely choices, lovely room.
Marry Christmas Will enjoy your new year soon
Looks mint!
How can you convert an bedroom in a 1 bedroom flat into a 'master bedroom'? It's the only bedroom 😅
Hello mate, good to see a new video, have a great Xmas 👍
Beautiful I love the colours well done ,just need a mirror. It’s stunning 🎉
Every one's an Expert ‼️😁😁
It looks awesome - great job. Merry Christmas!
I never use tape I just cut in with my paint brush takes time but worth it
That bedrooms pukka Will! Your diy skills have come on leaps and bounds,impressive mate.
Never say Alexa on this as it disables my bedroom light 😂
Looks fantastic, well done, professional job looking 🙂
If you rip the tape off, then do it on 180 degree angle not 90.
One little trick is to use a 12” wide putty knife. Just run it along the top edge of the trim as you touch up with a paint brush. Wipe the putty knife off as needed.
Hi will those weird nobbly bits on top of the window sash open the window…. If you pull them simultaneously to the centre of the window then pull the sash towards you the window will open inwards and it’s the same for the top sash of the window too… easy for cleaning and nice in the summer allows more air flow hope this helps 👍🏼
Recommend some coving for the ceiling, really finish that room off
well done you both are doing great.merry christmas to you both
looks fab mate, well done, making a house into a home step by step, looks great.
FFS frog 🐸 tape 😂😂
Don't lose them hinge packers....😊

Beautifully done. I love the color choice👍😊
The 'flaky bits' in your dried paint are probably bits of fluff off the brand new rollers. You can get those off before you start painting to avoid the issue.
We wash our walls with sugar water to help ensure the paint does not easily pull off. Would recommend
Fair play to you mate, turned out really nice considering you did a few jobs the wrong way round 😆Really like the colour you went with too. Looking forward to the next one 👍
Looking good although I’d go for sockets with USB ports. Can never have too many! 👍
Three drawers EACH? That's a win in my book, mate! 😉😂
Looks class 🎉
There's no need to waste money and time with frog tape. Just use a piece of card board. A cereal box will work
Ya my husband and I said that too. Also maybe cover the bed with plastic until the mold issue is taken care of. Great job on the bedroom. Maybe order of operations would have called for the bathroom to be done first but this is how we learn. Looks fab.
Starting to look good Will and Evie. 👍
Fair play youve gone that extra mile , and all for perfection, i wouldnt of done that myself tbh ha ha
Re paint test patches - test in the room but sand back before main coats are applied.
Great series and I'm watching with interest, personally I wouldn't have used white emulsion paint on the window sill, skirting boards and door frame (if that is what you used?) its not durable enough or designed for high wear areas, it's really only meant for walls, I'd recommend using

we did a similar colour (but only 1 wall in the room as a feature). turned out well Please keep the videos coming Merry Xmas Andrew
Absolutely beautiful
told ya ..duct tape is yer friend ...and once you move in keep a roll in the bedroom ..dammit i said it out loud ..you aint seen me right ,,,,keep up the work ..its lovely to see a couple that reminds me of the wife and i over 30 yrs ago with not a clue in the world ..but all the energy to conquer everything ..make the most of this time fella ,yer knees wont thank you in later life .
great vlog on the channel nice work on the house keep up great vlogs on channel thanks lee

The best thing for cleaning your upvc bits is Cif.
Looks great Will, someone suggested a winder brush which seems like a really good suggestion
Great job dude..
thanks will you managed to turn all our bedroom lights off when i was watching this and the wife was upstairs making the bed🤣🤣
Also you need to activate frog tape by rolling over it so it adheres properly and get crisp lines and take the tape off whilst the paint is still wet
Nice progress :)
If you have to use tape, then paint skirting first. Then tape skirting as it won't pull the paint off the wood.
Nothing beats seeing the finished work and looks like how you pictured after the blood sweat tears and swearing.
I love it all. well done Will. Where can I find this wardrobe? i want to find the same one with all the draws inside it.
Will use the orange frog tape its softer on the walls. Looks great though well done… not sure why you took the door off though 😂
Oh i love the bedside tables where did you get them please will?

Just use ordinary white masking tape for cutting in ...great video will
Always give it a good day to dry between coats 👍
You needed the purple sensitive frog tape for freshly painted surfaces
You should sand&prime the walls and ceiling before painting...
I didn't think id like the olive, but it all ties in nicely come the final reveal.
