Let me just say I love how basic and detailed this video is for a novice painter such as myself
Ok so don’t get an angled brush and if you tape everything you don’t need a brush that small either it also doesn’t matter how you hold it unless you are cutting your own straight line then you should hold it like a pencil. Use a roller pole and don’t hand roll it from the ground like these idiots hahaha

I really like Monica's character in these videos. She's full of enthusiasm and kindness. I feel so content having her walk me through this.
Monica breaks down the steps with a cheery and humorous (at times) so the process is easy to understand. encouragement from the East Coast Creative is everything!
Thanks so much Lisa! -Monica

Love these videos! HELPFUL TIP: I always cut the strip of the paper paint swatch with the name and sheen of the paint color of the room. Then I tape it to the inside of the light switch cover. That way if I don’t have the paint can for the room in my garage, I can take the light switch cover off and see exactly what I used in the room if I need to touch it up.
Thanks for the tip!
Smart tip, thanks! :)
This is the smartest paint tip I’ve ever heard!
omg.. this is GENIUS! I usually put it into a folder in my files but this is... genius.
Very nice, that way when there is a short inside the light switch, your live wire has a nice little match to spice things up.
Obsessed with Monica, all the way over from Northern Ireland! She’s inspired me to tile my on backsplash! I feel like I can conquer the world 😁
That's awesome!! Thanks for watching and share your projects with me over on Instagram! @EastCoastCreative

She is the best how to diy that Lowes has.
I just smashed my first ever paint job! Thank you so much for your step by step teaching! There's no way it would've come out so well without you.
That's great to hear, Michelle! 💪🏼 We’re putting together a highlight video of DIY projects our RUclips subscribers have done and we’d love to include yours! Nothing fancy…just looking for either an image or a quick video of the finished project. If you’re interested, send me an email at daniel.e.coleman@lowes.com!

just followed your videos and did paint my room last night, what an amazing result, wife is super happy and says I've done a pro job. Thank you guys, you're awesome! :)
I’m so so grateful for this video! Monica is fantastic, explains so well for beginners. I just purchased my first home and it will be my first experience painting! This video has given me such confidence to tackle the big job ahead of me. Thank you thank you!
Being in quarantine ... I think it's the best time to paint my room and get rid of boring white walls
No doubt. I paint for a living and I've never been busier since covid. First day off since friggen march 1st.
Am I watching this even tho I have already painted my room? Yes, yes I am
I’m watching cuz ima paint my room a Dover gray color but haven’t went to Lowe’s to buy the sand paper or roller or paint and everything like that
@Roman Barrera she didn’t even ask u
Su Yati Hlaing Damn rude much 😂
Because she's edutainment ease. Well done Monica!
😂
She's BAAAACK!!!! yeaaaaaaaahhh!!!
oh please Lowe's! never let go of Monica.
Bring back more of The Weekender! I'm so happy!
I love your video. I had problems to organize it, make it ready. Also to use well all the new tools. When you do it this way it can be even fun. I was frustrated. But I have more paintings to do. Now I’m going to the store and buy the bucket and practically everything. When you are painting with the brush it is clear that you know what you are doing. Love it. I’m going to paint my kitchen and I can’t wait to see it finished. ❤
Please bring Monica back we miss you I need you to help me finish my house🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I am here because I told my girl friend I’m an expert painter even though I’ve never painted and now I’m helping paint her new apt in two hours 🤫🤫
How’d it go? 😂
Lmaoo
🤣 did it go well?
Same but with a job 😬
Update. I’m now single
love from Iran. I love your videos ❤❤❤
So happy to see Monica again!
I was looking up tips on how to paint since I've never done it before. This video was awesome and our bathroom has been transformed just by painting. This is the very best video for new painters. Now I'm watching all these "The Weekender" videos that I've been missing.
AWESOME having Monica back!
Good reminders about how to prep and paint, but I want to see her redo projects again. They gave me so many ideas and confidence that yes, I CAN do these things myself. Also, they've introduced me to products and tools that I never heard of before, a real education. Please bring her back, Lowes.
Glad to be back!! -Mon
Yess!! I've been missing some Monica and the weekender! ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching and for loving The Weekender!! -Monica
I love the way you’ve completed the whole painting ❤️
Yes bring back the weekend i love them very helpful
Monica please come back! Love and miss the Weekender
We miss it too! - Monica
Glenda you got a Doll face!😏
I really wanted to paint my walls a different color coz it's time for a change, and I hate the current colors😑 but my dad didn't wanna spend money on hiring professionals and especially during this pandemic, so I convinced him that I can do it myself. I was kinda bluffing when I said I could, coz I have no idea whatsoever on how to prep/paint a wall, but I think I know now. I learned a lottt and I think I'm ready to paint my room!!
Super thorough, detailed, and great personality. Thank you.
Monica ... great video = no nonsense, direct to subject & clear techniques. I sincerely hope that you continue with Lowe's tip & how-to's.
I miss The Weekender so much!! Hope there'll be more of it soon! Love Monica's projects and her sense of style! ❤
Very serious question: what paint color..... are your nails? The perfect warm mocha bronze, love them.
Also, Lowe's, please please bring back the Weekender. Monica inspires me to tackle projects that I never thought could get done in a weekend, and we definitely spend more money in your stores due to her encouraging, optimistic and realistic attitude towards DIY.
Thank you so much for your time and pro tips on preping and painting a room. I learn quite a few things from you and your professional painter. I'm painting my mom's kitchen tomorrow and I already know I am gonna be able to do a much better job than the last paint job I done, thanks to you and your pro painter
and pro tips. From this day forward, I will be buying all my paint supplies and paint from Lowe's. Thanks guys and ladies for your pro video.
Sincerely
Mr. Guess & mess
Monica is a great teacher. Give her a show, HGTV!
Wow what a detailed video I have ever watched.Pro tips are really helpful.
Hats off to you 👏
Okay! Thank you for this video! Life & money saving video!!!!!
I was overwhelmed with trying to figure out how to paint my home by myself. I will probably watch this video a MILLION MORE TIMES until I’m done with my entire house 🤣😂🏡!!!
Excellent video ma'am, thank you for your time and professionalism...incredible finish.
THANK YOU! Helped a lot my room looks amazing.
Yayyyy!!! Amei. Eu amo Monica!! Por favor, traga de volta o show!! ♥️♥️
this is so helpful! I was particularly curious about painting near a ceiling and this helps a lot tho i'm definitely going to need a rag to clean the excess paint anyway.
Thank you for the specific details, step by step, including elementary tips and exactly what products are used. Most videos leave this out and are useless. Why are plastic and canvas drop cloth necessary? Isn't the plastic enough?? Keep the detailed videos coming. I need them!!
She is amazing, I loved this video.
Thank you so much. Just finished 2 bedrooms after watching your video. Great & detailed instructions.
Nice demonstration 😊
So thorough, excellent
Well done,you guys made it very simple and it's professionally done.
Please bring Monica’s show back. I love the weekender. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Please Home Improvement! You have die hard fans who will never miss an episode. I hear them in my sleep. I binge watch just hoping a new one will pop up.
Thats so amazing to watch and easy to do. I wish i would have time to paint by myself.
I don't know if I have ever watched any video this great! I never painted before but I am sure I can now do so. Thank you.
Good teacher! Keep her on board.
It is a very good video especially for beginners. Very well explained. Thank you
YAY! Great tips! Have missed Monica from The Weekender. When will she be back with new episodes???
Thank you very much for the basic information and attention to the details.
Excellent instruction.
I start to love Monica. She is amazing.
That is a great color , Accents the white baseboards nicely
Sooo good to see you back girl!!! Missing a lot the weekender :(
When are you guys bringing it back???
I appreciate that you thought how to open the paint bucket.
Thank you so much for the video. I have never painted before but I now have an idea of how to paint my daughter’s bedroom. 😊
Good, clear instructions! You would make a great teacher!
This series of videos are great. So much helpful. Great job
Glad it was helpful!! - Monica
Yea!! Monica, you're back! I'm so excited!! 😁
Glad to be back!! -Monica
Thanks for share this video Monica.
I need more Moniiicaaaaaaaa!
I would be thrilled for the Weekender, or some same type of show, to start again. It was a wonderful show and incredibly creative.
Do they have a video on paint clean up? How to clean brushes, cans, buckets, and tools? How to dispose of old paint cans, or paint. Best way/place to store the left over paint for touch ups later?
Well I see your question was sometime back. But I'll help you with it. Cleaning brushes is your first priority. If used in a water based paint, then use dawn or some soap. Even bar soap so long as you didn't let the bristles get hard by waiting too long. You should clean your brushes periodically during use, and at the end of each day every day till finished. If you did let them dry, say over lunch, then don't panic, Just buy some lacquer thinner and soak the brushes in it for 5 or 8 minutes then Wire brush them out using a wire brush that's wide and about the size of an old fashioned scrub brush. The more bristles the better, even a grill brush works great.Don't come down too hard on the bristle as it will cut the fibers/hairs and damage your paint brush. Brush it out while laying it on a piece of flat wood so you can bear down some. Try not to leave the lacquer thinner on it too long because it has a hot nature to it and a drying effect on the bristle. It has a softening effect on the paint and will allow you to brush that all out of your brush, then it's ready to be washed with soap and water. Brush it each time you wash it again till really clean.
I like Dawn, and or Murphys oil soap is an excellent painters soap all around. Do ths soap part as many as three or four times if necessary until the bristles are as they were when you bought it and the water under the faucet rinses clean. Its like you were brushing hair. Treat them kindly but be thorough. Do it while they're wet with soap and warm water not hot. Brush and rinse till the bristle are clean all the way to the ferrule. (The metal.)
Do this as many times as necessary so the bristle are clean and no paint is visible all the way up. Rinse and wrap with a paper towel to help maintain it's original shape. I've been know to lather up with soap before wrapping to help me restore the brush to it's original shape and hold the bristles together. Just rinse before you use it and your ready to go.
For oil base brushes it's the same process except don't put a good quality oil base brush down in water no matter what anybody tells you. If your brushes won't come clean because you inadvertently let them dry too long with paint on them, then clean them with lacquer thinner but rinse right away after you wire brush them clean with the corresponding thinner, ie. Water, Or mineral spirits to neutralize the lacquer thinner, as it is hot and will ruin your brush if left in there permanently, or even just too long.
Don't turn your back on this cleaning process till it's done. Never leave your brushes in lacquer thinner for more than a few minutes at the most, and never overnight. CAUTION! LACQUER THINNER IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE!
If your doing this indoors, Then be careful of sparks or any open flames, and for God sake don't smoke or keep you cell phone in the vicinity of your work area!
If it scares you, then do the initial cleaning phase if you even have to do it at all, outdoors. Otherwise all pilot lights should be turned off! And you must think long and hard about any sparks. Even a doorbell! Keep your wits about you and
It's safe for this. just follow this protocol, and you'll save your brushes and will have them for years to come. Now there's another way and its slower but safer. Buy some Trisodium. Phosphate it comes in a box like laundry soap. It's a powerful alkaline degreaser and paint softener. But its water soluble. The more you pour the stronger it is. It's powder. And looks like soap. It can burn you because its caustic. Myself I put my hands in it if that tells you anything, but if your sensitive you can wear rubber gloves.
To dispose of small buckets of paint remove the lids and let them dry out. Or create a sand pit in your yard somewhere safe where children and pets won't get into it, kitty litter also works if you can keep the neighborhood cats out of it long enough for the paint to dry.
Pour the paint into the sand and let it dry out. In some municipalities it's legal to then put the dried out paint and sand into the regular trash. Check so EPA doesn't come knocking. And they could. Sometimes you can advertise it for free, and real estate investors will come by and pick it up because they collect it mix it altogether in 55 gallon drums and paint their rental property with it.
So there's a couple of options for you. I hope that helps.
On storing your paint. Keep it in a warm place to prevent freezing. That's number one. Make sure they're sealed properly. Tightly.
Mark your cans or in some other way keep a record of the labels with all of its numbers. For example. Take a picture close up of the stock number, and the colorants shot into the paint if it was a custom color. They usually put a sticker on the lid.They often get covered with paint during use so get this information first so you can save it in case you need to buy some more. Especially if your stored paint goes moldy on you or freezes. That way you'll have a record you can take to the store instead of that nasty old stuff nobody wants to handle.
Cut the numbers off of the label and tape it to the back side of a plastic light switch cover plate and it'll be there for years to come. Hope that helps.
Great tips Monica!🔥😎
Thanks Paul! -Monica
Awesome video! I saw all the blue tape that was used around the room. The paint brush that I would suggest is the 2 1/2 Richard gooseneck flexible paint brush extension. What is so unique about this paint brush is you can bend it and put it on the end of your extension pole. You won’t need to go up and down a ladder as much! You can purchase this unique paint brush at Lowe’s. Cheers!
Paint your trim first. It is so much easier to cut into your trim compared to cutting to your wall.
Even more so if you're going to tape everything anyways. That way you only need to tape once.
.
Do most painters honestly feel that same way or it's a half half ratio?
@@diyenlightmentpath6102 I use to paint for a company and pretty much everybody used a different method variation even down to cleaning your brushes and containers. I learned a lot and did it for two summers while in college. I do prefer this method because you only have to tape once. After half a summer I was just using a cardboard box piece with a straight edge and not taping because it was faster but it also stopped the paint from getting on the trim or the wall.
Loved this, thanks!
Awesome painting video.so I will try soon in my house rooms...!
Great video! So helpful.
Thank you Monica!!!
Plan on painting my room tomorrow and this was soo helpful! Thank you 🙏
Super job
This video is very helpful. Love this. ♥
I love this video very well put together I love to paint myself!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m getting ready to paint and didn’t know all this info! A extremely beautiful lady also!
Nice Tutorial Thank you.
this video is amazing, thank you so much!
Most paints need to be thinned with water small amounts until you get the perfect consistency. Also I recommend wetting the brush and brushing out the excess water on a newspaper then dip it in the fresh paint as illustrated.
Thanks, great video!!
great tips and a great review
Thanks for watching! -Monica
Very helpful thank you from Dublin Ireland☘️🤗
That's a pretty color. it will go in my sun/tv Florida room.
Cleanest paint job I’ve seen
We need more of the Weekender!
loved it, I'm now ready to roll the roller
the only reason i will only purchase from u guys is from these detailed videos.
Wow! So many things I wasn't doing! Lol Learned a lot! Now I can't wait to do my Daughter's room! Thank you so much!😉😘
Thanks for watching!! -Mon
Nice tips
Monica, you're an awesome teacher!
Thanks so much Maritza!
I love her hair 🙌🏾
Lowes knows we love the weekender, so they give us little bits of Monica here and there.
Fantastic great job helpful for painter thanks
This very helpful thanks
You are back🤗 .. I missed you. You have great ideas and tips
I use a little makeup or a regular canvas brush around the ceiling..... I suck at painting. I get paint everywhere. No matter what I do. So I came up with the best way is call one of my friends to do it. Then I cook them dinner. Works for me.
Amazing.
Useful video for me becoz i always paint my rooms myself. I like to paint and it's taught me my beloved loving late father. When my father painted home i always help him in childhood I miss him so much 😭
Thank you very much for the video it was really big help!!
Great video! One rec: paint the trim first without taping the wall. You can get trim paint on the wall since you are about to paint over it.
