why am i exhausted just by watching this prep?
I can't believe I was able to paint my bedroom AND my office/music studio by myself. Seriously, thank you so much for this video! I literally grabbed EVERYTHING you asked, didn't question it, and followed everything you said. Y'all are the bomb!
Im curious, if you don’t mind sharing how much money did you spend on paint supplies excluding the paint? I bought some supplies the other day and it was so expensive 😭
It's amazing how many people still do terrible paint jobs when this video is free on RUclips. Thanks, Monica!
hello comment from 3 years ago. I watched this video first. I still got my painters tape sticking to my hands and pants and getting all crooked. My drop cloth got tangled. I splattered paint everywhere. Knowing is half the battle. Not being an incredible clutz is the part that gets me though.
Okay, powers that be, Monica is incredibly popular and deserves her own show. Her personality, skill and style are fabulous and so relatable. BTW I volunteer my home for the first episode!
I’ll be the second!! Powers that be 😂😂😂
Angela Backer thanks for your encouragement!

I agree!!!
She's annoying and doesn't do much of the work. But that's not needed to be a celeb.
She's a real asset to everyone. Please keep her coming!
Wow I love Monica! I don't usually leave comments but she just made painting a room seem so accessible doable! I was debating even doing it myself but now I definitely will be!
So detailed. Love it. Bring back The Weekender. We love Monica.
She's a fantastic teacher, so descriptive, eloquent and so innately and effortlessly informative
Yay!! Monica’s back. Always great to see a video with her. Please bring back the weekender.
Monica rocks, love her energy and she is a fantastic teacher.
Ok, I may need more than a day to do my painting...
For sure, unless you have help!
I was watching this video before I realised I had to remove my wallpaper 🤒😆 spent over a day just removing the glue from my walls
Awwww glad I saw this video. We just brought a home and I'm actually sitting in the middle of a room floor staring at my computer figuring where the heck I'm going to start. I want to do upgrades on my home myself where I can feel extra proud. Figuring out colors has me cornered for the moment but surely I'll get to the right place.
I know right. It seems so dauntingly!! Like “ where in the hell I’m I going to start, what color will I use, I need to buy all this stuff.”
I’m a first time home owner. I’m a 42 year old man and want to be self reliant for once in my life.
@@davidallenroth2905 I hope both of you were able to start! I'm in the same boat.. overwhelmed but trying to find a perfect beginning 😊
haha!! I am also sitting in the room that needs to be painted...staring at the computer trying to figure out how to do it...
In the same boat a year later, how did it turn out?
I don’t know how often I watched every segment with Monica. I love the weekender. It’s the absolute best. I love Monica and everything she does. PLEASE BRING BACK THE WEEKENDER!!! I promise I will watch every episode about 100 - 700 times.
I love watching Monica. I used a lot of her videos to help me prep for my kitchen and living room make-over. Due to an accident it now wont happen. She is still great to watch and help me believe that I still may be able to do something one day. Thanks Monica
Yaass babe love to see a woman doing one of these tutorials . Painting with you

I truly appreciate you taking time out to postthis video. Most of the time, there isn’t enough information in the video to help you move forward. I can’t wait to watching more on it in the near future. Thanks again for posting it.
Watching this in 2020: "You're gonna need a face mask". Yep, got those!
You're working in your house. No, you don't need one.

Thanks for the encouragement!! -Monica
Monicaaa I was missing you in this channel. I could hear you talking about anything, you are so precise and clear😘
7SEVENDAYS aww thanks!
@@EastCoastCreative It is trueeee. I was watching the weekender episodes till I dropped. ☺. I have a room makeover in my channel if you wanna pass by... even if I have to aware you...I hadn't watched the video back then, so the prep is poor. Lots of love
her voice is perfect for giving instructions
no one ever showed me the cutty thing on the caulking gun.. i've been doing it with scissors or a knife for ever!
Maybe not Clayton, but the good thing is, you still survived! :-)
Exactly the video I needed - thank you so much for explaining everything so clearly!
It looks so beautiful Monica, i cant wait to see another makeover
watching this cause since it's quarantine, why not change my room for make-over.
Very thorough! Answers a ton of questions. I am on it!!
Just came here after watching Home Depot's, what a contrast for this tutorial. So helpful, thank you!
Loved the video. Thank you big mamma Monica for all the juicy tips!
I saw the video and benefited from you and learned many things related to painting the room. Good luck and more progress Thank you very much.
Waiting patiently for season 5... Miss you Monica💖
Cynthia Arceo thanks!!
I can’t find her channel what is it ?
@@sugarskullcrunchasmr2210 the other reply ok this comment is her
This video and the other on how to paint a room has my life a lot easier when I prep and painted my front room. I did my best but as my first project, some tips and advice went better than others. Thank you for helping me out or it would of been a disaster!
the most helpful video about painting prep！
Personally, I'd recommend going over previously painted walls with a damp rag instead of a dry one to remove any dust from sanding.
Yay, you’re back!
I miss you Monica and The Weekender show. I want more of your show.
Pierre Schwartz thanks!!
Please bring back Monica and The Weekender.
CM Coleman Home: recipes and lifestyle guess because there is not that much you can do in the weekend....
Amazing video, full of useful tips, thank you very much!
This is the most informative show I have seen thanks
Yay! She’ssssss backkkkkk! Please bring back the weekender😁
Cards Are My Canvas keep on asking!
welcome back Monica!!!!
zenofwater good to be back!
Thank you! Very informative and planning to follow your directions 😊
I watched this video and it was super helpful as I prepped for my first solo job!! Really glad I took the time to properly prep!
Thank you for your tips and tricks!
Much appreciated ❤
I love that a female is explaining this it’s about time❤️❤️❤️
Ditto!
Incredible! Thank you!
So funny to see Monica mention eye protection and face mask but not have her hair tucked away in a shower cap. Other than that, great presentation! Glad to see the confirmation that I was doing the right steps and had the right tools! I especially loved the use of the painter's knife (multipurpose tool) for the caulking edge!
Excellent tip at 8:55 - caulking baseboard and wall, using 90-degree angle on 5-in-1 tool.
My walls right now has drawings, crayons, pencils, pen marks, and spider webs in the corners. All courtesy of a girl in her toddler days. The walls in this video has none of that but it doesn't matter as a spray bottle with mild detergent can take care of the spider webs and dirt. The paint with overwhelm and cover up the child's scribble and artwork, nice! Thanks so much for your video.
Excellent video. Great instructor 👍❤️
Welcome back My Love! TFS! 🥰💞🥰
Thanks!!! -Mon
I was skeptical at first but your explanation was excellent
This is a very good video, it's all about the prep. Never use dust sheets without plastic underneath, paint drips will always drip through the weave.
Monica!! You're back. I've missed you, I love you! Lol - my life felt empty without you and the weekenders haha. In all seriousness, come back!!!
Janie Gonzalez lol I’m baaaack!!
You have your own channel 😳🤯🤩! Subbed!!
Very helpful video, well explained step by step for amateurs like me😁
Awesome Job 👌 I'm going to get ready to paint now
Great tips here! Thanks so much!
Thank you! Super easy to understand, clear. Eager to paint now :)
This is fantastic ! Thank you!
Wow! Didn’t know that Lowes has a channel! Thank you thank y’all!
I really want to start my own painting company and this video has help so much! Great stuff! Thank you.
You got this!💪
@@lowes Thank you so much!
Hopefully this means a new Weekenders season is coming!
Erika Rooney lets hope!!
I like the way she says caulk 😁 thanks RUclips for this random video suggestion.
The Weekender please! I sooo miss it!
czarmayne me too!
Monica, are you a teacher when you're not doing videos? If not, well you should be You are fabulous! Not too loud that I had to keep turning you down. Not too quiet that I strained to hear. Very informative and concise. To be frank, I could listen to you all day, but damn it, I have a room to go prep. Thanks for the great tutorial! CHEERS from Kansas City, MO!
Watching this during the #quarantine2020. Ready to paint my living
Watching this in Feb. 14, 2021.. Happy Valentine's Day. Be Safe.
Thanks for your help
It took me about four days of prep job the wall bc I had to put down a textured wallpaper which had a white wash on top and left a lot of glue behind... the wall underneath wasn't prepped nor had any paint job so it look like a funny patchy field. It was a lot of work but mostly it required so much waiting time!!. Sanding was definitely the best thing ever, it made the wall so smooth. Finally I could add the color to the wall when all the prep plus primer was done only to realize that the paint doesn't look even lol so it will require another day of waiting and another layer. Sigh. I can only imagine what I would have had to pay if I contracted anyone for this. But I'm doing a good job. Phew.
I miss Monica ssso much ♥️

Monica East Coast Creative 😍
Where the hell are u girl!!
So glad u back love ❤️
Thanks! This was helpful!
Awesome video, quick, and straight to the point... Thanks Monica!!!!
Love the videos, some great ideas. Me & the stores don't really get along though. I still remember the 1st time I saw one of these videos and went rushing there with my ideas. It has been a slippery slope. Every one I've been to has terrible customer service and inventory. I always dread having to go there. They try to make you feel as if you are the weird one for interrupting their day to ask for something they have a sign for, but don't carry in the store. They simply refer you to amazon.
Thank you for such a detailed video. I have some textured walls where the paint has been peeled off to the drywall. How do I prep that area for painting? I get the concept of scraping off all the loose edges and using a filler to go over it so the edge is sealed and not rough, but what do I do about the texture of the wall? It is about eyeball height and I don't really want just a smooth spot on the wall that is sure to show up after being painted. Thanks for any advice you can give!
really clearly explained, thanks!
ikr.. thnx
Thank you for this video
So good to see you!
C Ocasio good to be back!
Very helpful. Well done!
Where the heck has Monica been? I misss you!
Jamie DeJong glad to be back!!

Incredible !
im so excited! i'll be painting my office this weekend and this was so helpful!
Lovely explanation.
My daughter wants a paint splattered wall so this is helpful
How did that turn out?? I'm moving soon and my mom is giving me free range of my room so that could be cool haha
Hello Monica! We have missed you SO MUCH!
Kathy Witkowski I’ve missed being here!! Thanks for watching
Very useful info,thx a ton!..
This is so thorough, thank you both!
Great timing!
Thanks very informative!
When you worked on the ridge(s) do you need to wait for the patched holes around it to be dried?
That's nice, thank you so much
It's worth learning how to use setting-type joint compound for both any type of hole patching or larger fixes. In this case, 45 minute setting time would be a good choice.
this lady is excellent
Bring back the weekender!!
Thanks a lot for the basic education
