First I want to say how much I enjoy your videos. My dad has dementia and he can’t remember his own grandchildren’s names, but when I turn on your videos he walks in the room and says “ hey it’s Becky” and he sits and enjoys watching. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I care for my Mom, who has dementia, it is amazing what and when she remembers. It is wonderful to find something that resonates and works. .
I care for my mom with dementia. We moved in a year ago. Becky is so calming and such a delight. I’m glad you and your Dad have that special time together.❤
As a painter, all hues have an undertone. Carbon I think is blue. The only real way to test is to tint with white, that will give you the undertone. I actually “saw” the blue undertone on the older paint as well. It’s gorgeous!
It truly is amazing how just a little paint can make such a huge difference. My house had brown shutters on it and I got fed up with how it looked. 2.5 cans of midnight blue spray paint later and it looks like a completely different house
This just shows "to each their own". I sit here with my Gingerbread Victorian with 10 different colors on the outside alone. The inside has different wallpaper for each room. Even the molding is different per room per hallway.
Guess if we ever meet we will just have to meet and hangout outside in a garden. 😁
As long as all your hardwork makes YOU happy, that's all that matters.
I wonder if the former owners are watching your videos and the progress on their "old" property. It would be neat if they are following you and the changes!
I think they would like the changes Josh and Becky have made to their home. It is not insulting to have different visions of how your home makes you happy.
@@theelectricdi I Disagree. My old owners built my house. It was their heart and soul. They were mostly wanting It to be loved. They always comment on what we do.
@@theelectricdi insulting how?
Exactly! Insulting how!?!. . .
@@theelectricdi I am not sure what you mean by insulting. Please do explain it might help not only myself but others who were confused by your comment.
You should put a big mailbox on a post in your garden. In it you should keep some gloves, a collapsible bag of some kind (to carry your clippings in), sunscreen, etc. That way you always have a little "kit" handy in your garden.
Great Idea!!!
I love how you see your back yard from the front door. Good call taking that half wall off.
I recently just fractured my foot when I was out in the garden, I'm also 31 weeks pregnant! 😅
Right before I broke my foot, I was in the middle of painting my dining room!! I'm bummed out that it probably has to wait a while but my trims are also black and I need to touch them up, I might be able stand there and do the trim instead of finishing the wall! I thought I was completely down and out, but you inspired me to paint the trims! 😂😅
All my love! ❤️
oh no! I hope you get better soon!
@@AcreHomestead awe thank you!! ❤️❤️
No harm in asking for family or friends to help out.
@@libbywilson3064 if I had family or friends near me I would 🤗
I hope it heals quickly for you! Congratulations on baby!
Hey Becky, I want to tell you how much I absolutely love your videos. I very much appreciate all of your teaching and you make me smile. Every time you taste something and it’s good which is all the time your eyes sparkle I appreciate that thank you for being you.
The doors look beautiful, Becky! But I most admire how you persevered through the complications. You’re an inspiration!
A single edge razor blade in a holder is better to scrape the glass with, so you don't scratch the glass.
Love the way it all looks now. It's cohesive and attractive. Btw, a painting tip I learned from a professional painter, paint barefoot. As soon as you step in the paint, you know it and won't track it all over. It has definitely saved me from having to hurry before the paint is fully dry to get it off where I didn't want it to go.
You have inspired me to start my own raised bed garden, and I'm loving it! I never thought I'd be as excited to see something growing like I am. My neighbors probably think I need help, squealing when I'm watering. Lol😂
What an incredible person you are Becky. You do everything so well. Love the all black front door ...would be tempted to do the two doors at the back the same ...all black instead of just the window part .....looks so modern, fresh and clean!
You are like me - determined - you’ll get it done - determination often comes with patience - hang in there my dear!
I just came inside from the garden because we are getting hit by a big thunder storm. Settle in begrudgingly and you post! Always the best timing. ❤
Me too! I’m in NE Ohio. I was just getting started 😢😂
Me too. I'm in south carolina. Much needed rain!
Yes! It rained for a whole day and a half :/ Were supposed to get some rain this evening. It hasn’t rained here since I planted everything in my garden. They definitely needed it
Paint it Black, Rolling Stones: "I see a red door and I want to paint it black." lols, When she started painting the door this song just popped into my head.
Becky, my dad was a painter all his life. I worked for him and then in the paint depth at a big box store. For rollers the type roller depends on if you are painting a surface with texture or smooth surface. The fluffer the roller the more texture.there are rollers that are foam or have less hair or fluff on them for a smoother surface. Also you want an angle brush for cutting in. Hope that makes sense
Yup, I kept saying high density foam roller. It's almost like she couldn't even hear me! 😂
Proper preparation prevents all this frustration!
Great job pushing through the frustrations that sometimes go along with being productive!
Love you are showing us the frustrations when things are more complicated than we thought but we can still do them😊
Hi Becky! Paint doesn't properly dry so mich as it cures. To that end, if it looks to be a perfect match when you first apply it, you'll be disappointed 24 hours later. It's a "take a deep breath and trust the existence of primer/sealer" kind of thing.
Also, if you don't want to use painter's tape for work like this, use a putty knife for cut in work. The razor blades are nice, but if you scrub back and forth with them, you risk scratching the window. Sharp cut in lines are the hallmark of a professional job, but painter's tape is a relatively new invention. Get a couple cheap, plastic putty knives and have a damp rag handy. It kinda works like cleaning your windows at a gas station.
Sanding in the correct direction makes a difference, as does filling holes with wood putty, letting it dry adequately and sanding the putty holes (sometimes repeatedly!) before painting. You certainly would have been able to sand off the ridges from the previous hardware if you had the attention to sand repeatedly before painting.
For your raised beds use a sprayer just like the one you use to water your starts. It is so much faster and covers better than a roller. This is what we use when we water treat our fence.
Most things...doors, towel racks...toilet tissue holders all have set screws...don't know if that is what you were looking for or not....but what I usually do is whenever dealing with hardware like that, I run my finger all around the outside of it and then you can usually find that little recess that has a set screw...and if youir towel rack in your bathroom starts to get a little wobbly, it is usually that set screw has worked loose and needs a tightening with an allen wrench.....ask me how I know !! lol !!!!
Becky you cracked me up today. Such a wonderful thing to just walk away, get a cold beverage, go to the garden, wait for paint to dry, then come back and viola' it gets finished. I needed to have a moment of laughter today, thank you! I love your videos and God bless you with continued energy and creative ideas.
Ha! Painting a red door black! You’re a Rolling Stones song!! Rock on Becky!
Love your positive mindset. Switching gears when things get frustrating is great advice. The door turned out great!
It’s weird but I love the chaos of this video. Not all projects go to plan and it’s okay! Thanks for being transparent ❤
Wood filler for the holes in your door and let it dry then sand off excess filler and you can paint it.
When we moved in 3 years ago I painted the front door bright yellow! I love it
Just a trip/hint..do a paint chip on a index card and write brand/color/color#/room.
So next time you have all the info at your finger tips..I use a 4by6 cheap photo album for all my home paint colors..😊
You are amazing Becky! The black around the front door windows looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent job Becky! Painting my front door black was one of the first things I did when I bought my house. I love a black door!
OMG!!! It amazes me at some videos you put out on RUclips like cleaning your house or sanding a door is interesting. Peoples lives are pretty sad when they find this interesting or entertaining 😂
And your life is pretty sad that you feel you have the right to post nasty comments on anyones channel when all you have do is not watch them. It amazes me how people like you post these comments on videos just to make your own life interesting and entertaining. How sad for you.
I'm glad you are happy with the paint job. My first thought was where's the primer? Maybe it's in the paint already? First best thing to use on doors is a sprayer. Unless your paint is self-leveling. second is a small foam brush. Hides any brush strokes.
You could put each lock and screws in a snack bag to keep up with them.
Painting is mostly prep and clean up for sure. My most successful projects happen when I get everything out the night before and do any tape prep. Then the project day is just the painting.
Pam here….door knob installations are so complicated! I would have taped around and sanded around them and painted. You could have been done painting with that…I would have only took those off if I had NEW hardware to install.
The all black trim looks soo GOOD!
History Fact: Back in the day when horses were the mode of transportation, red doors were a sign of WELCOME for weary travelers. A marker of sorts that could been seen from a distance and during white out blizzard conditions.
I’ve had three homes w/ red doors (from Jaymerell’s neck of the woods)
Thank you for sharing the information on the red doors! So interesting!
You saved me hours painting my door! I looked it up before painting my door, learned how to do it, then was ready to prep and paint! Thank you and I admire your patience!
Becky you amaze me at how you are able to keep a positive attitude through all that with the deadbolt! I’m sure we didn’t see all of your frustration but I would have thrown everything down and said “someone else can do this!”
The front door looks great painting the window trim to match was a great idea it looks really classic
What a difference painting the front door made! I'm interested in how you liked/didn't like Behr paints. I've used Behr for over 30 years of painting projects and just love them. Their stains are also good.
You can fix the small holes in the door with a bit of bondo or jb weld epoxy filler. Then just sand and paint and you should have no problems.
Over the years, we hv switched almost all our storage bins to clear ones. It makes it easier to find things. They aren’t usually as sturdy, so use them selectively. Paint
Becky, the black paint really makes the doors pop! The black looks so much better than the other color. Nice job!
Beautiful transformation!! The black paint is so elegant. You did a great job Becky. Thank you for sharing your wonderful vlogs with us. Have a blessed and beautiful day.
When you started to paint the floor board in front of the door I could see the blue hue. I too take a long time to do projects. In my head I say oh, this will take 20-30 mins and it ends up taking 3-4 hours.
When I prepare coconut rice I always add lime juice and zest. Takes it to another level. Thanks for sharing
Becky, the paint looks great, but I'm kinda surprised you didn't want to paint both back doors all black too. Just an idea! BTW, I know you mentioned on your other video how tedious it is to move your seed starts outside/ inside when trying to adapt them to outdoors... have Josh put casters on your metal carts then you can roll the whole cart out without ever having to take the trays off the shelves :)
I didn't even think of that!
good idea
Beautiful door and window trim! The black really makes it look so good! Great job! Also, dinner looks amazing!
Hi Becky, Congrats and best wishes to you and Josh in your new forever home. It is beautiful. The raised garden beds look fantastic and will make it much easier come harvest time. Much happiness and good health.
What a difference a couple of coats of paint will make. It looks like a brand new door. Great job Becky 👏👏👏
Great job! It looks so modern now. The black paint seems to have a blue tint because if you mix black you want to always have a certain percentage of blue in there so it looks really "brilliant" black. If you do not add the blue the black looks muddy and brownish. That goes for wall paint but also if you paint art in many kind of mediums. At least that is what I learned in design school. Hope that helps to clear up the confusion for you.
Wow, thank God gatdening settles your spirit-you spin easily. It is healthy to relinquish control and just let life drive intead of controlling - it gifts more zen moments and oess stress sis.
The paint has a blue tint so you can tell where you've already painted! White paint has a pink tint, too. Looks fabulous!
Wow, excellent work on organizing Josh!! Looks like you will need to get your label maker out to label the tubs.
Becky can’t find the words to say., Enjoying what you are doing 6-11-2023❤
He has an excel spread sheet with it all organized lol
It finally rained here in my area of Michigan!! Yay!! A nice drizzle, consistent. Man…did we need it. It’s been 5-6 weeks with no rain. It’s wonderful!!
The black looks absolutely gorgeous!!!!
I’m wondering if anyone can tell me if Becky has addressed why she doesn’t use the 4-wheeler in the garden like she had originally planned? I know the question has been asked in the past but I haven’t seen her response.
She didn't really address it. But once I saw her reply that she forgets about using it. Some people have speculated that maybe they sold it for some reason.
I wondered also, she could put her son in there when she goes down there
I could see the blue hue when you were holding the tray up. Totally understand the frustration, I would've been the same way. For ease of painting with a brush, we love the handheld pail. Makes it easier to paint without the worry of dropping the tray, and it has a magnet inside to hold your brush as well 😊
I love how you actually go to the trouble to do the irritating prep work on the door. I have a hard time sticking with that type of stuff, just want to pass it off to someone else and I'll come back and paint! So, kudos to you girl! Tip from my dad when I was younger and doing odd jobs like this - if you are taking something down that has parts, esp screws, get a container - like Tupperware - to put it in AS YOU GO. He would remind me of the times when I was a kid and dad would call us all in to search the floor & walkway looking for missing parts because he picked up something after it was out and moved it, dropping tiny bits as he went. So, he learned to get a container for each thing and take it down into it's own container with a piece of paper in it ( pre cell phones with cameras) where he would note anything odd about how to put it back together because it's easy to get things mixed up after a bit of time goes by. This tip did save my butt several times and eliminated the 'what does this screw belong with' question. He always had a stack of plastic margarine tubs sitting on his workbench and this memory makes me smile and laugh a bit.
Every metal door I’ve ever had since 1989 with a glass insert was trimmed in vinyl. Not sure how well that paint is going to adhere to the white. You may want to check with Home Depot.
Such a beautiful transformation! Yes, paint is the cheapest way to make a huge impact. Great job!!
Fyi, behr exterior paint is consumer reports top rated paint. Good stuff. Very weather resistant. Will last long
I would have used a sander for the door its much quicker and I think gets in much deeper to remove the old paint x
Your inspiration and energy amaze me! I guess 40 (something) years ago I probably had that much energy raising my children! God Bless you and your family
Great choice on repainting door and window trims. Your home looks beautiful.
I love the transformation on your doors and windows. That black made it pop. I agree I did see some blue while you were painting, but it certainly is black. Good job, Becky.
A black door elevates the look of home. Great job and yes we have all had those bumps in a project that drags it out. But the outcome is worth it.
OMG you cannot control everything Becky! I was relieved to hear you talk yourself down.😂
🤩 WOW!!! Your front door looks great!!!👍
In Chinese feng shui maroon or red on doors is to welcome guests, the front door welcomes chi energy, perhaps that’s why they were maroon
Wow you have what more patients than me. I would have called in reinforcements asap.
I enjoy all your videos. But I can’t understand how you have so much time on your hands, with a baby. I raised two boys and I wasn’t able to any kind of project until they were at least 5 years old or older.
Next year I wouldn't prune your tomatoes that far back. Even though they are determinate, when you take that many leaves off you are cutting the nutrients that the plant is getting and that the plant can give the fruit it produces. Cutting it back that much will minimize the size and quantity of fruit you get.
For future reference, blue is the base color of black. That is what gives it its depth of color, but I can understand the confusion you probably felt. The door looked great! You are an awesome homemaker and homesteaders! Thanks for sharing all you do! God bless you all!❤️🙏🏻✝️
Came here to find the answer as to why it looked blue in the pan but dried black on the door. Thanks for the explanation.
Open that paint on the drop cloth !!!!!!!
"I see a red door and I want to paint it black" That song is stuck in my head now lol
Now it stuck with me too. I’ll go watch the original after this :)
Becky you are an amazing and fantastic person and a very talented homemaker. I love watching Acre Homestead and I’ve learned so many helpful things tuning into your channel. Thank you for all you do and share with your subscribers .
I have been watching your videos for a while and I am so glad your homestead is coming together! You are such hard working sweet people you!
I so understand being frustrated by not knowing how to do what really are easy projects. The final look is great. I'm glad you painted the cream trim around the small door windows. Good job!
I was visiting family, and wasn't able to watch any RUclips. I'm back home now, and resting. I just got done catching up on Acre Homestead. I was talking to some friends about the RUclips that we watch. And the one channel we all had in common and the one we love the most was Becky's. Keep up the great job.
I just painted my front door black and my large front pots. I love it!!
Agree with you there was one part in the video that showed the paint tray and it definitely looked blue 😮 So Glad it dried black for you PHEW !!!!! Door and trims look BRILLIANT 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have 2 things I want to say. First, I made the Honey Chipotle marinade with chicken thighs. I took it out of the freezer yesterday and the recipe is absolutely delicious!! Friends you have to try it!! My 2nd thought is about experimenting in the garden. I have never grown any vegetables from seeds. So, I decided to pull a "Becky" and just do it!! I'm so excited I'm seeing germination. My biggest thrill is bush beans. Have a wonderful day everyone, Debbie Lavigne ❤
❤❤❤ just bought a nice grill so I can try out all the marinades you shared!
It looks beautiful Becky! Such a big difference! It’s great that the garden is going to be producing soon, I just checked on my peas and I have a few pea pods, which was exciting!! Have a great day!🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼
So satisfying! Beautiful outcome!❤️
Becky, you are amazing. Are you kidding me? You have a little one and you do all this and look at that super clean and organized fridge. Oh, my! Love your zest for life. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love of food, garden and home. Peace and blessings!
God bless you all, you should fill the hole on the door with wood filler,then sand it down and paint it, good luck 😀
You crack me up! Easy pour spout, not gonna use that. Lolololol. I love how real you are and we get to see your process. As for prep work, I had to come to terms with all the prep steps of sewing something… I literally made a choice to enjoy every step. And I’ve been sewing for 45 years since junior high. You’ve inspired me so many times. Keep up the hard work. Blessings to you and your family.
So, sorry, Sue, that Queen Becky didn't give you a heart. Don't be devastated dear!
@@catherinereeves5707 WOW…. Such a nasty comment for no apparent reason. Jealous much?
We have used behr for years. Great job Becky. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God bless.
It did look bluish tint but sometimes black does have a bluish tint to it. Looks so good, Becky. You are so resourceful.
I admire how you use resources to help you figure out what you don't know. The door locks. And, omg the prepping is so much the pain. I hate it. The painting is fun. those freezer meals sure are a blessing! Good job Becky. 😎
Paint will usually dry darker that what it looks like wet also😊 that's why when you purchase paint they put a spot on the can where the formula is and dry with a hair dryer. Behr paint and Valparaiso from lowes are probably the best quality paint out there in my opinion
I also told her to watch you. You could cook for me any day of the week. You haven't going on. You have made me go back to the kitchen. I love your channel
That paint totally looked a little blue when you were painting over the chipped black of the floor board! Amazing how the color changes when dry.
Thank you for sharing! Inspiring me to work on my own home. 💕
Becky, when you had your camera at an angle the paint did have a blue tint to it as you started painting again. But it does look black after it dries. I love that you changed all the red to black. It looks more cohesive then the red. Love it.
Great you just got me in time with those Roma tomatoes which i was removing the suckers today. So now I know!
