Loookin good mzz travelling k.. quick tip..do all your cutting in with the paint first . Then ya can go full spack attack with ya roller .. oh and add aboot 200 to 250 mls of top coat to your under coat .. gives a correct colour finnish.. and a day before you paint turn the tin upside doon .. brings all the solids to the top .. and easy mixing .. jolly good carryo pip pips .😍😎😁
I’m proud for you. You’ve transformed a new build into a cozy home for you and Reece. A couple more months or so and it’ll be completely finished. Well done Karen, I hope you have many peaceful years to enjoy your achievement. 🙋♀️
Always paint the woodwork first and overlap paint onto the wall a little. Leave for 24 hrs then tape off the woodwork and then paint the walls. Has always worked for me, (not a professional), and gives a nice crisp finish. Good luck from the UK.....
Lol you crack me up! I'd just have used up the paint and then used the next lot not mixed them together but that's cos I'm to lazy to stir properly 😂 at least with the iron undercoat your room won't go rusty!! 😂 looks awesome! Laughed out loud at the books under the bed!! Now you need a holiday in your caravan! Raining again down here! Always raining!! 😂
Well done Karen your doing a fabulous job of the painting your house is coming on lovely reece will love it especially now the carpets are down be warmer love the videos Karen
When painting virgin gyproc water down the first coat with water 50/50 till the paint soaks in so you don't buy a lot of paint but its to late but i suspect you have more rooms to go 😮 trying to help...hows your batteries with the cold....what is skosia ?
Another grand accomplishment Karen……superb. As long as your paint is basically the same, ie Matt plus Matt, Water base plus Water base etc. you should be ok.
also mixing paint brands is literally just mixing paint. As long as they're both water based, it's all good. Paint recyclers mixed used paints to create new colors and sell for a profit
also, for the baseboard overlap, you are correct to over paint it, it is easier. If you don't want to tape, you can buy an angled sponge paint brush or small (art) paint brush for fine detail. Hang in there, I hate painting too lol
Have you got to the point where every item of clothing has paint splats on them yet? 😅 Id do what you did and just mix the paint together. You are doing great! I love your choice of color. What is the name of the green paint and the coffee colored paint?
Karen 😮I’m surprised that as a strong independent woman you are calling your bedroom the ‘master’ bedroom 😂😂 you own that room it’s a main bedroom you have no master … thank goodness 😅 Go you it’s time to be done but try not to rush it cause once you move in there’s no way you’re going back lol. 😮what’s with the bedroom carpet he hasn’t done the join professionally cause you can see a huge centre line 😢

A true home is never perfect 👍😊

Was worried the colours would be slightly different! Better not go rusty now🤣 Managed a quick caravan trip recently and LOOOVED it!
@TravellingK yay for a caravan trip! Looks like drizzle again today!
Great job Karen, your smashing it there.
Very well done Karen, your house looks so cosy. x
As always, nicely done, from Arizona.
Keep going. The end is close and the home be great.
Looking good.
Great video ❤❤
Nice work 👏

Hi Karen, it's a lot to do all at once, so well done. Regards, Andrew.
Nice.
Well done Karen your doing a fabulous job of the painting your house is coming on lovely reece will love it especially now the carpets are down be warmer love the videos Karen
The carpet makes a huge difference.
❤well done Karen, you are a wonderful woman😊
I’m always happy to to see your videos. You do a great job. Well done Karen from my house in Canada to your beautiful home in New Zealand.
Thank you Eleanor!
Keep going with the house, it’s looking so good! It’s a shame you can’t even say Reece’s name now on film🙁🇬🇧
Yeah... but getting there with the build!
Sure mix them. The only problem you would have is if you started painted with one brand and finished with another. Looking good!
Whew! Thought it was better to mix than run out half way through and swap pots.
Apply the usual kiwi attitude in these sorts of situations - 'ahhhhh she'll be right mate' 😊
That's what went thru my head!! 😂
haha so true!
Morning K JUST KEEP ON KEEPING ON. You have to try all things sometime. You are a very resilient woman and mother. Annamieke from Kawerau
Thank you! I'm getting there...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Huh... good tip! Batteries are going ok so far. I'm probably saying it wrong too... scotia trim.
Another grand accomplishment Karen……superb. As long as your paint is basically the same, ie Matt plus Matt, Water base plus Water base etc. you should be ok.
Good to hear!!!!
I'm no paint scientist, but given how porous drywall is and how tough iron primer has to be, you're probably fine lol
also mixing paint brands is literally just mixing paint. As long as they're both water based, it's all good. Paint recyclers mixed used paints to create new colors and sell for a profit
also, for the baseboard overlap, you are correct to over paint it, it is easier. If you don't want to tape, you can buy an angled sponge paint brush or small (art) paint brush for fine detail. Hang in there, I hate painting too lol
Hopefully all works out! haha
Have you got to the point where every item of clothing has paint splats on them yet? 😅 Id do what you did and just mix the paint together. You are doing great! I love your choice of color. What is the name of the green paint and the coffee colored paint?
YEEES! I was just moaning to myself about getting paint on my favourite top. I think the grey / green is Oyster, but I'd need to check!
Can't wait to see you finish and put your feet up in front of the TV and your fire❤😂
Yes!! The poor garden has been ignored too.
I used to sell paint a few years ago - it'll be fine.
Whew!!!!
Great Job, but that bit of ply on the wall behind your bed would annoy me
haha I promise it doesn't stand out that much in real life!! Would bother me too.
❤xxx
Karen 😮I’m surprised that as a strong independent woman you are calling your bedroom the ‘master’ bedroom 😂😂 you own that room it’s a main bedroom you have no master … thank goodness 😅

Pathetic feminist.
haha master... good point!
