Hillary we moved into this home over 3 years ago, our basement is unfinished and out grandchildren love to play down there because it is wide open, my husband painted the floor with just concrete paint, he gave it 2 coats. Needless to say our grandchildren have totally enjoyed it, they ride bikes, scooters, roller blades, you name it and it has probably happened in our basement. The paint is still intact, no chipping or scraping at all! I would skip that acid and just paint it!
My mom just swept, vaccumed, mopped the floors with a squirt of dawn before she painted the laundry room floors. They looked great. Save your health and money return the acid is my recommendation.
Hilary, since there are no windows to vent the fumes from the acid, I would forgo that product totally. Wash the floors with a degreaser product and make doubly sure that all the soap film is rinsed. Just like when you painted your cabinets, the grease and soap had to be removed as well for adhesion. Then give the floor two coats and move on. The idea of using wheels for your storage shelving is wonderful, it gives you easier cleaning and less lifting, very important. I would also really think through what is being stored in your basement, do you need outside cushions down in the basement? Would it make more sense to have outdoor items in an area in your car garage? Less items mucking about your storage area also will cut down on nests of spiders.

We love the black 5 tier wire shelves from Target. We use locking casters so we can pull out the shelves to access items, paint, or to sweep/mop. They work out great in our utility areas to neatly store Christmas, entertainment, paint/maintenance, outdoor cushions, gardening, etc.
You may want to get a key pad lock for that room to keep the kids safe. You use a code or key to get in and turn the handle to get out so there is no fear of getting locked inside.
Good morning! I'm Denise. I just found your channel and admire everything that you are doing! I have to share the BEST storage shelf solution ever...I have the chrome shelves I bought from Lowe's for $69 ( they look similar to the chrome ones you have with the clothing pole, but they have 5 shelves. They also have packs of 4 wheels with rubber treads, available for $25 so you can unscrew the feet on the shelves and replace them with wheels. That way you can roll them around to clean floors, paint, etc. They are so versatile, and to me they are awesome since the shelves can be adjusted to any height you want. I like them even better than built- ins because you can disassemble them if you dont need them later. They are extremely sturdy. I have many of them for my basement and garage storage. For the chrome shelves you have now, you can replace the feet with those same wheels and its sooo much better to be able to move them if you want to. Check out Lowes website.
Thanks so much!
Soooooo much work Hilary! I’m very impressed! Excited to see the finished product. Way to go.🌸
It’s amazing how just painting the walls brightened up the space!!
Wow! That really was a Monica room! I did not take you for a Monica but many of us probably have a similar hidden spot. 🙄 I’m looking forward to the final reveal. The paint alone was a huge improvement. We used muriatic acid to prep a garage floor and it worked wonderfully in that high traffic well ventilated space. I probably wouldn’t use it in an enclosed storage space.
We did our base floor with a paint that had some sand rock mixture in it for a grip and it is OK for bare feet. Our store suggested the same Murlatic Acid and my husband said we would find a alternative, I do not recall the name because it has been some time now when we did it.We have moved several times, and the company moved us but the last time we moved our selves and save some money, but as stubborns as I was I did not clean my crafts and quilting and so my husband made me put my totes in the moving truck myself. That was all it took, I down size when we got to the new house and just kept saying if I had to move it once I was not going to do it twice .Glad to see you are thinking ahead and wiser now then I was. You will be glad that you did it. Stay Safe Till The Next Time
Just a Mental Hack I use,,, I have a room that has no windows, so I use a shower curtain with a picture of the Eiffel Tower on one wall to mentally brighten that room, it makes me smile when I am in that room, where before it felt dreary. You can use any picture or print of something that makes you happy, I also added christmas lights to the back of the curtain to give some extra light to the room,,love it!
This is a huge job to accomplish, but you are being so smart by breaking it down into chunks. Once this area is set up and organized it will function so well for your family! I have no idea or experience with painting concrete, but I can tell you ,you will never regret purchasing vertical shelving units to hold all of your bins. Some shelves can be placed at right angles to the wall ( think library shelves ) if you have a deep side of the room, which might result in more of an open area on the other side. Best of luck.
I would skip the acid. Maybe use some light sandpaper to the floor so the paint can grab onto it. And put on a poly after you paint so it lasts longer.
Hilary, I just want to say at 1:55 into this, that the room you are tackling, you should be thankful for, cuz the rest of the house is beautiful. You have a room for the overflow.
When I don't have that, I stack totes and throw a tablecloth over it. Ta-da! Fixed it! LOL!😜
We did etch our garage floor 20 years ago and then used a two part epoxy paint. The floor looks as good today as it did when it was originally done. I think the reason you etch is to get that good grip. If you do etch make sure you have all windows open and fans exhausting while the floor dries.
RE: the clothes iron, I used to iron my husbands work clothes daily for years but now he wears scrubs to work. But, I would never get rid of my iron because there are many other things I use it for, sewing project (recently masks and pressing bonding tape for hems and repairs), craft projects (crayon shavings for waxed paper Valentine’s), lifting carpet and rug fibers that heavy furniture has crushed down, blotting and removing candle wax from table clothes and table runners, getting the white water rings out of wood furniture finishes and removing those little dents and depressions in wood furniture by steaming them out. Unbelievably I have done all of these things. I love your videos and I look forward to each new post. Good luck on the storage room clean out and organization!
I would skip the acid just for health reasons, fumes, environment etc. Paint the floor and maybe lay some rug runners where your walking path would be 😊. I just don’t like using very strong chemical-like things, especially when you can’t air it out with windows open etc.
What a huge undertaking but good for you Hilary! IDK whether you saw it or not but after seeing all the bins of kids clothes I remember that Dawn has the best vlog on kids clothes, a unique & EASY way to think of them. I know clothes can take on a life of their own & also Sarah from Our Tribe of Many only starts out with 4-5 outfits per child per season. It's interesting & you may find it helpful. But good job looks great!!!!❣️❣️
What a project! I’ve got a ‘Monica basement’ as well and my goal for the whole of 2021 is to organize it. I’m amazed you got so much done in one month! Inspiring!
Good morning 🙏 Hilary...you have no idea how excited I was when I saw a video pop up...yay...me.. my coffee ☕ and a old world home video...
Wow, all those random things... I couldn't believe when you jumped from a little bit done by the end of day two to completely cleared out floor by the end of the week! Well done!
Think of it like this, we buy that same kind of paint for our concrete porches outside and don’t use the acid. We live in Ohio where we have cold weather, snow, ice and salt.. my paint has held up fine outside so in your indoor room I’m sure it will be fine. The only thing that will bother it is probably scooting stuff along the floor which would scratch it. Lay a runner down the pathway to walk on if the traffic is high.
That’s great to hear 👍🏼
Three cheers to Dawn at The Minimal Mom and all the lovely collaborators for January declutter! I love watching your videos, Hilary! Thanks for all the inspiration! Y'all are awesome! Thanks for all you do! We're getting there...
👏🏻Wow, you two are amazing! I remember “saving” paint because “someday we might need it” ... well, 29 years later when I had to clear the basement, the paint was still there - solid as a rock!! My advice, “Swedish Death cleaning” worked best for me. It will be stupendous once you get it done! Great winter project! 💜🥰❄️
I started practicing Marie Kondo ideas several years ago, now moved on to Swedish death cleaning. I love how much easier it is to look after our house. I’m 68 fit and healthy but just want to leave our house easy for our children to sort out in years to come. Yours is a great project thank you.
Hmm i need to google this. Sounds interesting
We JUST got rid our out 7 year old paint from our house reno...
That room looks great ! I am really impressed with your decluttering skills.
Hey Hilary.....you might want to keep the iron and ironing board for sewing projects. There are many uses for the iron when sewing, even something simple like making a straight hem you really need any iron to do it properly. Just a thought if you wanted to do more sewing projects in the future.
How great you are showing this project. I had a flood in my basement in 2019. We had ground surface water come up through our drains. Thank goodness I had insurance, but lots of things had to be thrown out including the indoor / outdoor carpet that was glued to the finished side . Everything had to be moved to the workshop side. And it's still there in bins, boxes, on shelving etc. I look at it and walk away. So I will try to tackle it gradually this year. You've given me some incentive. I will comment as I make progress. Thanks Hillary.😳🤗👏
many years ago we didn't have fancy stuff to prepare cellar floors...we painted them. ours got flooded once up to the first step...the paint was fine. it did wear in areas mom used by the washer and where the clothes were hung. but that's the way it was done.
Great progress. I agree with Penny North. I am 74 and I have a steamer and I am afraid of getting burned using it plus you need a door or something to hold up the garment to be steamed. I think your MIL would prefer to keep using the ironing board and iron. Only my opinion as I still do iron things. Haha. Old school. My laundry room side of the basement has a concrete floor that was painted and my son repainted many years ago and it is still in good shape. You might need two coats of paint since it was never painted but I would not want to use the acid. Love seeing all your progress. You are such a great inspiration and a lovely lady. May God bless you and your sweet family. I really enjoy all your videos so much.
Great job. Years ago I got into a habit of putting whatever paint doesn't get used from a gallon into pickle or other jars and throwing out the cans which tend to not seal well and rust. I label them with the color and the room they are used in. It helps if you use varying sized jars so you fill them up and not leave a lot of air. I have used the paint for touch ups that was even five years old. It is also nice to fill a tiny jar and tuck it into the closet of each room for quick touch ups and I bought a pack of artist brushes at Dollar Tree and tied one on each jar.. I painted the entire house when we moved in here and I had some large amounts left in many cans and mixed it all together and painted all the closets and my porch with it
In the area where I live, almost no one has a basement. What I wouldn't give for a storage area like yours! Can't wait for the final reveal. You are a hard worker, Hilary!
We used muriatic acid before tiling and I think it helped. It can be intimidating since it is an acid but we just diluted in a bucket and used brooms to spread it out then old towels to dry and then a water wash to finish. It really only took maybe 20 minutes but the floors were totally ready once we were done.
So admire your work ethic. It has such a great payoff. ❤️
I love your "moving mentality", Hilary. Hubby and I are early sixties, and EVERY decision we make; whether it's purchasing a major piece of furniture, or keeping any kind of keepsake; has to go through the filter of "what would we do if we had to move all this stuff?" The last time we moved, we were in our early 50's, and I'm still tired, just thinking about it, lol! I want to be able to move quickly and easily, should that day come. You came to that conclusion much sooner than we did! So wise and practical for one so young. Hugs, Pam xxxx P.S. Can't wait for the reveal!
Pamela, thank you for the advice. My husband and I are early sixties also and moving to a house. We decided to bring only the nice stuff which will be left behind or donated the next time we move. Not only moving is expensive, but our bodies take such a beating on the process that it is not worth it. Thanks and God bless.
Home Decor Tip: Unless it is 'seasonal' decor (Christmas, etc.),... it should be used in your house - or in the Donation Box...! That is what I have been doing with my stuff downstairs...if it is downstairs in a box, I have to ask myself the question, 'why?'... so if I don't bring it up and put it out...it needs to go....!
You are amazingly ambitious and handy!
Awww what a gigantic basement you have. 😁. So much hard work and to finish but soo worth it. Our newly bought home we are now starting the family room that’s downstairs in our mid-entry literally a week ago too. We have found some hidden problems but we did in most of the house during this re-model. Its Been our storage area for all stuff unpacked and some furniture that we will use in there when complete. My storage space is very minimal. That’s amazing you guys got the living area and that wonderful storage space. I enjoyed reading the comments about the concrete cleaning too.
I used to save a lot of clothes from my older daughter for the little one, but I finally decluttered the majority of the bins because they get clothes as gifts on their birthdays and Christmas.
No offense but don’t get rid of your iron! If your MIL is closer to my age, she will most likely not like the steamer. I don’t think there’s a comparison! 😬
I bought one recently and went to the goodwill after one use! 😆
She could just buy a small tabletop ironing board at Walmart for less than $10. I set it on my dryer when I want to use it and store it between my washer and dryer.
She actually used our old steamer once and liked it but then it died, and honestly it’s only about once a year 💛
@@OldWorldHome ahh good 🙌🏼
@@OldWorldHome I will be 79 next week and I say get rid of the board and the iron. I use a steamer if and when anything needs ironing but for the most part I buy all items that do not need ironing. I sure do enjoy your decluttering videos. So encouraging. 💙
i just want you to know that you inspire me to do better in decluttering our home.... God Bless you and your Family 💕
God bless you Regina 💛
@@OldWorldHome OH MY GOD😱 you noticed me💕 I’m smiling now☺️ and will have a good night sleep😴 💕 Thanks to you🥰
Oh to be young again and energetic! You are doing a great job Hilary. I have been decluttering and organizing as well. I have a steamer that you can actually hang your item up and steam it like they have in retail clothing stores and I absolutely love it!! I will never iron again. It does a wonderful job on everything and works on ruffles, velvet, chiffon - all the fabrics that are hard to iron and not damage. Take care!
I used the muriatic acid on a basement floor. Then it had to be rinsed well with water. I then painted the floor. It turned out well. I did have windows open when I used the acid. It does help the paint adhere better. We sold that house after a few years so I don't know how it has held up since.
Just a suggestion - don't get rid of your iron and ironing board. The steamers are fine for some things but not for a a lot of others! The ironing board can slide in beside your washer-dryer or one of your shelves. I don't use my iron very often either, but it's just often enough that I'd never get rid of it.
My mother (she's since deceased) painted our utility room floor, knowing her she just slapped down paint! There are a few areas where it has worn off but doesn't look too bad and that's been probably 10 years ago.
Paint always lifts off basement floors..recommend staining concrete they do sell it ..or leave concrete alone. And mop all dust with a cleaner and h20..your doing an amazing job hilary
I love your hair. So cute wow
what a lot of work, way to go! looks fantastic
Great job and great motivation. I have an outdoor room I am converting to extra pantry, but it too has had so much junk thrown into it, it seems overwhelming! Thanks for the motivation!
Muriatic acid in a jug like that left on the concrete ate a dent in the concrete under the jug in our garage which sounds crazy but happened. We’ve never used it indoors painting concrete just did a good floor wash first to cut any grease that might be in the floor. I love that particular paint. Around your oil furnace tank may need an extra scrub if there’s oil on the floor but that’s all we’ve ever done and 10yrs later floors are great.
Wow! Great job! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Wow I am so impressed with your energy and skill! I would not use muriatic acid so toxic and fumes are awful. We have painted our concrete with just cleaning it and the paint has held up! Blessings❣
This is a huge job. Can't wait to see the end result. tfs
Wow, Hilary, well done this was amazing! I definitely have a Monica cupboard...or 2! I noticed we do lots of similar videos and I really enjoy your content! If you'd ever like to do a collaboration video I would be so happy to do one with you as I think my audience would love you! Have a lovely week xx
I think my favorite part of the before pics were the pumpkin, trick or treat baskets hanging from the ceiling. LOL Oh, and we stored several pieces of drywall for many, many years. We finally went to give it way, and it just crumbled and fell apart even though it never got wet. Smart move on getting rid of yours because from my experience, it breaks down over time just sitting unused. :)
Great video Hilary, and great job getting this space decluttered 👍🏻. Unfortunately I don’t have any tips on painting the floor 🙁. It’s a lot of work but it’ll look fabulous when it’s done. 👍🏻😉
I would use the Kilz primer that puts a moisture barrier between the concrete and the paint. Good luck...everything is looking fantastic! 😄
Yes use the acid! Important prep step to painting a concrete floor! I did this in my condo's lower level after suffering a flood of Lake Champlain. The guy in home improvement store was correct it "etches" the floor & gives the paint something to grab onto. It has been 10 years & I haven't had any cracked or peeling paint & this is in finished area we use all the time! Family room & bathroom!
Good job, Hilary! It looks awesome so far! :)
I still hit Like before I view. You are Wonderful! TFS.....
I have painted my basement floors, garage floors and my front porch, the only ones that I used the etching on is the garage and porch, they basement I don’t think you will need, you will love it when it’s done, not more dust from the concrete.
I am in the age range of your mother in law, I had gotten a steamer a few years ago, and realized I will never use an iron again. I love the steamer, and loved donating the iron, and iron board was a free porch pick up
Great job on the basement, you took on a big project Hillary
I don't know if it is too late, but I would not use the miratic acid. It is horrible, will burn you and inhalation too. we ripped up our carpet years ago and used the same paint on the concrete and had it for years in our living room and it was great. I vacuumed really well and wet mopped it to get the dust off that was it.
Talk about inspiring! Easily a project that could be seen as daunting and overwhelming but your approach of breaking it down into manageable chunks I think is really the best approach. That and just starting. Yes it gets worse before it gets better but the end result is worth it. Your progress so far looks amazing! P.S. I wanted to thank you for a comment you made I believe in your last video. I am paraphrasing but it was something to the effect of if we approach everything from the perspective of gratitude we will always have enough. It was such a refreshing perspective in terms of the decluttering collab you are participating in but also a beautiful sentiment for life in general. Thank you for the reminder. Have a lovely day 😊.
Amen sister 💛 Have a wonderful weekend!
@@OldWorldHome You as well Hilary ❤️.
Good luck with the floors. I was going to do my main floor as a stop gap between gross carpet and hardwoods - got the paint and everything. I got too overwhelmed with the process and having to move everything out, though. Can’t wait to see the final results!
I was told at the Benjamin Moore store to just wash my concrete floor with tsp, make sure there was nothing sticky left from the previous flooring (peel and stick tiles which don't stick well in basements) and paint with the porch and floor paint. It is so interesting to see someone else's house covered in drywall and cement dust just like ours was! We also had a mice invasion = my husband got 49 mice! So I can really relate to what you are going through! We are still deciding what construction supplies and tools are trash, donate, or keep. My husband needed help with that. Good luck with it all and good for you!
We painted our basement concrete floors with a paint and primer in one. I didn't even know about the acid. Ours are great without it! We use our basement for an extra living room area. The foot traffic never scuffed the floors. The couches did if they were drug around.
You have done amazing xx
We painted our basement floor probably 10 or more years ago. The concrete was newer, but we still did the muriatic acid treatment. Not sure your concerns specifically, but we have been very pleased with the results. Our paint hasn’t chipped or flaked. My understanding is what it does is it allows the paint to bond better with the surface by giving it some texture to cling onto.
Wow what a huge job ! I'd probably shut the door forever and pretend it wasn't there ha ha. You are such a hard worker. Painting the walls made a huge difference and I can't wait to see more. I would also be concerned about using acid on the floors, particularly in an area that's not well ventilated. Stay safe and best wishes from Australia 🤗
I store my ironing board next to my dryer between the dryer and wall. It's never in my way but I know where it is when I need it. The iron itself goes in a cabinet above the dryer.
That’s a great spot for when you need it 💛
Good morning Hilary ☕️ great job! 🥰 Ahh I wish we had a basement instead of a attic. It would be much easier for us to store stuff and get what we need instead of going up the attic stairs praying for our safety. Always look forward to your videos.
I wouldn't use the muriatic acid. It's toxic and that doesn't appear to be a well-ventilated area. Plus, if you aren't going to use the room much, the paint should be fine by itself. You WILL meet your goal. Look how fast you knocked out the painting! Good job.
One time I mopped with straight vinegar. When I was done I left the mop on my porch ( concrete). In the morning I picked up the mop to put away and noticed that where the vinegar soaked mop stood there were etching left on the concrete.
And yay for steamers! I use it way more than iron...and I love that little wooden chair.
Wow! This looked very overwhelming and like a lot of work! Breaking it down onto different steps/days was a good idea. It looks 100 percent better, and way more functional! Good job! 🙂
I definitely have a Monica Room that needs to be purged, but I’ll tend to that later! 😂... I’m enjoying these clutter free videos and participating behind the scenes... I posted a kitchen cabinet decluttering on my channel and planning on more! 🙂... Thanks for the motivation and oh I gave you a shout out as well😉❤️🌻
On your porch and floor paint I've only used Valspar and it holds up well. I don't think you have to use the acid in a room like you're doing. If it was in the garage I can see all the extra work. You really have to clean your floor very well after using that acid. Which means lots of water.
I painted my concrete pool deck six years ago. Pressure washed first then painted with non- slip concrete paint. It’s still perfect.
Definitely didn't put acid on my basement floor, just scrubbed and let dry and painted according to paint directions. Held up fine in our laundry area.
I bought a steamer small travel one it’s all I use. Great video!
Great job!
Wow great orgination. We painted our garage floor. Used paint with primer. Worked well except where we park a car in there. Paint did not stick where hot tires sit after coming into the garage.
Re: painting the pantry shelf ...that is a great idea to reuse, but I would encourage you to give the shelf a good clean and hang it up as is. This is a storage room and and the items you are storing are apt to scuff up the painted finish. I am enjoying following your organizing videos.
I painted our basement floor and I just used the paint & primer in one without the other stuff. I live on Long Island too, so our climate is pretty similar! Your storage room looks great freshly painted!
Enjoying coming along with your basement progress!
Good job! I cleaned out my paint today! Hazardous waste recycling open tomorrow for first time in a year due to Covid. Feels so good to be organized and know what you have!
The room looks great. I love the white.
TAKE SHEET ROCK TO HABITAT RESTORE. KEEP THE CHAIR, YOU WILL FIND A USE FOR IT ONE DAY IN THE KIDS ROOM FOR A DESK OR DOWNSTAIRS. TRUST ME ON THIS. IT'S TOO CUTE.
I love all of your storage space and you organize it beautifully!
I cannot wait to see your finished results!! So exciting!!♥️♥️♥️
wow what a project but I'm sure well worth it! Please share the final outcome .... thanks for sharing, the house looks wonderful!
You will make it work beautifully, you always do....less IS more crazy but true! Thanks for sharing
Exactly what I am also thinking, get rid of the ironing board and iron and get a steamer.......I never iron anymore.
Your Monica room is looking great!! I would not use muriatic acid, I think it is very dangerous. Check it out but you probably should just use a safe concrete sealer then paint. Good luck!!
I was just talking about moving mentality with a friend of mine earlier, it’s so funny that you mentioned it too. I think so many of us are in the same boat about having less stuff and decluttering. Your storage room is coming a long great. Can’t wait to see the finished project. You Hilary are such an inspiration.
We repainted and re-carpeted our home about a year now and I have so many storage bins in my garage,because I refused to put everything back in my house.....because I wanted it to be less and now I have to go through all of it.With the situation of the virus we don’t know what to do with all of it because some places aren’t taking donations. I’m so ready to move it out. Thank you for your wonderful video, you’re always so inspiring♥️. Your basement definitely will look amazing when you’re done 👍. God bless and have a wonderful weekend.......💞😊
Go on Freecycle and post your items. You can just set it out on your porch for no contact pick-up. I post everything on there. It is amazing what some people want!
@@themamabearlife3339
Thank you for sharing that information,I will definitely check that out for my area, God bless and have a wonderful day......💞😊
Good Morning Hilary 💗 YOU ARE TRULY A SUPERWOMAN 💪 Good spot for the deep freezer 😊 I wish I had thought a bit more about packing our stuff when we moved from California to Washington State 😌 We packed everything up from our 4 bed 3 bath house and the stuff has been in storage since $$$ Its been 2 years now 😳
What a great storage area!!!! So enjoy your videos.
Our Monica closet is the garage! 😂 Ever the world in progress due to many home renovation projects! 🤪 You and Dan did a great job! I know it’s a huge relief to get it done! 💕
We just use concrete paint and are totally satisfied with results.
Awesome! Did you do any priming or preliminary steps?
looks wonderful hillary. i know the mental clutter of having the physical clutter really bothers me too. i am excited to know what you discovered about painting the floors and using the muriatic acid. i have thought of painting my garage floor but i have also thought of staining my floors in the house instead of using tile . i am currently trying to minimalize enough to get the old carpet out. it seems like there is always something to do when you own a home.
We used muriatic acid to clean my uncle’s in ground pool every year before painting it. Would not suggest it indoor for sure! Fumes were awful. Have painted basement floors and paint held up for years. Great job on your storage room!
