- I did this DIY peel and stick floor with a marble herringbone pattern and it is stunning!
Disclaimer: This diy floor method (with vinyl tape) is not something I’ve tested the removal of yet. You’ll have to wait until I move out to see how that goes 🙃

I have a full tutorial video you can watch if you’re interested 💞: th-cam.com/video/7wnkQBZuPGs/w-d-xo.html
Nothing happens when I click the link(??) 🤔
In surprised how good this looks.
Nice
Put a 1-step and then your floating floor. Perfect every time.
The two of you squashing the tiles down with your feet is cute!
I agree, loved the little stick down tile shuffle.
Its not tile she said its vinyl
@@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233 and?
Feel better bout yourself?
Okay queen I love this idea. I’m a homeowner who doesn’t have a lot of money so I’m utilizing renter hacks
Same!
Same here as well
It looks sooo good!
Same here👍
Tile would be cheaper sadly
Everything is so stupidly expensive now that, as a 24 year old, I can't even imagine owning a home. I don't feel like I'll ever make enough money to have one.
Definitely glad I’m not the only one who feels like that.
You can if you are diligent and if it's worth it for you! You dont need 20% downpayment, a lot of times 5% is all you need. Start with the smallest, cheapest house you can find if that's where your income is at. A good credit score and income that will generously cover your mortgage and living expenses. A lot of the time your mortgage will be cheaper than rent! Think of how landlords make a profit! Their mortgage costs less than what they charge for rent (if we are talking single family homes). I'm a real estate investor, and it takes a little bit of risk but it's worth it
I'm 24 too. I bought a flat at 22 and i've already paid it off. You just need to work hard or move location. Sacrifice luxury and comfort temporarily for finacial security later.
Same
Hahah me at 22. I hate this economy 🥲
I’m gonna stick with an apartment
Use paint thinner to remove the sticky residue from the floor tape. My husband is a floor layer and they use that all the time!
Not sure about that tape, but I've started using a product called contractor's solvent for a removing adhesives and silicone, and it's nontoxic and works really well!
Would paint thinner work for counters?
@@babymomma9728 yes, it’s an acetone based product so wear gloves when you use it.
@@SynterraSteen thank you 😊
Plain ascetone
WOW, the idea of using the special tape and the herringbone design was brilliant! And it looks beautiful!!! Smart lady!
I am a home owner again and also a fairly experienced diyer (light) lol
But I wanted to tell you that YOU gave me great inspiration. Also I saw in the comments that you mentioned that you didn't do something the correct way.... Let me just say, everything that I know how to do WELL I learned from minor mishaps , big oops and even a few disasters lol. I love that you actually shared something that many people would feel more comfortable trying especially with the vinyl tape because its much more temp. option. Great job and ty for the inspo
This is how I started (redoing my rentals on the cheap). My landlords always ended up wanting to keep what I’d done :). Now I’m a general contractor and house flipper :). You’re definitely very creative! You’re going places if you decided to go the design/construction path.
House flipper lol I remember the trend when it started in 2008 and everyone lost their money.
@@alexaecho4273 not the ones who knew what they were doing. And I buy and hold several of my properties. :). But people still live in Cali despite the threat of a major earthquake or FL despite the risk of flooding. Sometimes the reward outweighs the risk. And every job comes with an inherent risk of being laid off or losing a business.
@@keegangold9765 So inspiring!!! Great advice.. sometimes it’s just takes stepping out and doing things the right way .. being laid off or losing a job is awful feeling so I agree 💕
@@alexaecho4273 House, flipping has been around forever. My friends parents were house flippers in 1980 when I met them. You may be thinking of the mortgage crisis.
@@alexaecho4273 It was good money till 2021. Now in Germany you are lucky if you get out without loss.
It really looks great. I’m just wondering what you were using for “grout”. 😊
in the pinned comment
Love the look, I also wondered what you used for grout
She actually used grout. She put all her materials in the top comment
Is actual grout considered renter friendly though? I feel like maybe if that vinyl thing protects the floors but how would you remove it
@@brookehenderson5762 It seems that with the tape under the tiles, it (the grout)would break apart as the tape and tile were all pulled up. ?
I really appreciate that you shared the material list with us. This act of kindness and consideration sets you apart and raises you above all other DIY’ers!
One of THE best things about renting teeny apartments in one of the most expensive cities in the entire US, is that usually the rooms are so small and floor space so little that it really doesn't cost me much at all to do my own repairs. Also, landlords tend to want the same person in the unit so I stay fot years, not just after the year lease is up... and at that point they are usually really cool about any repairs that I do so long as it is an upgrade and that I don't paint my walls black. Otherwise, either I can fix it when I move, they can keep it that way, and it's a small price to pay for not having to go through thr process of interviewing and getting new tenants.
We're Renters not allowed.!
What’s the most expensive city in the United States that you’re referring to?
@@pinkpugginz OP said she “rents in one of the most expensive cities in the entire US” 😂 But thanks!
YOU are a GENIUS!!!! 40+ years of DIY and NEVER has any PRO cut up vinyl to make a design. BRILLIANT!
I AM WAITING FOR YOUR HGTV SHOW🏡 SERIOUSLY!
As a former homeowner and now renter as much as I love this idea, I'm renting for a reason and one of those reasons is I do not want to remodel stuff especially if I will only be living in it for max two years. If it was my own home then bring it on, but for a rental I just don't see the value in doing this unless your apartment is a complete slum.
This is one of the best DIYs I've seen! So talented with that cutting around the door trim molding especially
It's beautiful ( next time: if you would have done a little bit darker grout you would see the herringbone design better!} But it still looks great & you did an awesome job!
Each to their own,I prefer light grout in a small space. Fresh and light
Just give it a few months. It'll get darker lol
@@ladyliz7 I hear you 😄 but nothing a toothbrush and elbow grease can't solve.
I prefer this than darker one thou. 😅
So many people are renting now and want this. I discovered an amazing company that sells stylish, modern, and also kid friendly versions vinyl wall paper. It’s affordable and didn’t leave any sticky residue.
The Herringbone idea is genius!
Wow! What landlord wouldn’t want to keep that. Beautiful!
One that would probably didn’t ask to do this.
@@CryptikAcon bro what
A sane one.
Are you serious? She just put trash over expensive tile. The damage that’s does will cause thousands
Sticky tile has a very short life span. They'll have to remove it regardless after a couple years.
Omg, your work came out amazingly!!! I’m an architect and am truly amazed!
That looks a thousand times better!!
That update was wayyyyy better! That landlord will be thankful!
I would love a full video on this process ☺️
Same!
This turned out great!
I don't think I could have ever invested in someone else's property I'm renting and that they actually get more from your labor, unless they took it off my rent.
I get the space makes you happy to see, but I'd save all of my coins to get my own.
It’s an easy way to love the space you’re in, especially if you plan to be there for more than one year.
Well she completely removed this before she left. It was more on the aesthetic of what she had to live with while she was living there.
Folks that do this don't leave it for the next renter. They remove all the aesthetic upgrades and return the dwelling to the soulless box it was when they moved in. Lol
It would cost like 50-100 bucks. If you live for years in a house it's not that much. You would buy beautiful furniture right?
This is one of my favorite projects you’ve posted.
This turned out beautiful. Thank you for this idea.
Really love this. Making the most of what you have at the moment.
It's the place you are in...where friends and family visit with you! Taking care of you will always be in style!
This looks beautiful the white brightens the whole room!
You did an absolutely wonderful job sweetie, well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That is so nice of you to give a compliment and encouragement. Wish we had more people like you in the world💙💙 I hope you have a fantastic day today. God bless
@@beatrixjones2982 You're most welcome, compliments just like manners, are free, but priceless ❤️🙏🏾❤️
In the last house I rented, I repainted everything even though my landlord originally didn’t want me too. I talked to him first, he agreed to let me paint as long as I paint everything back to the original color when I move out. When he came by for a checkup and saw how I painted, he loved it. I no longer live there but the last time I saw it go up on Zillow the walls were what I painted them. It was a funny situation and I’m glad he liked it hahah.
I would do a topcoat of Minwax Polycrylic to protect the new herringbone pattern floor. Minwax Polycrylic doesn't yellow with age and will help keep your "tiles" looking great. You are super creative and did a great job!
As someone who will likely never fully own a home, I was so disheartened over not being able to decorate things how I like. I thought I was going to be stuck with dreary white walls forever. Your channel has given me a lot of hope for the future.
One of my bosses was like, own 5he home you live in, so what if you are adding things that out price the house, if you are doing the work and plan on living there for a while you will get the enjoyment out of the product you put in for as long as you are there. Totally agree.
First of all the new floors look amazing 😍 but I’m soooo hear for the knee pads!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Never put vinyl in a bathroom folks. The moisture will build up over time and the vinyl will begin to peel and mould
This came out friggin beautiful!
Love this!! Will try it out. I hope you can own your own home one day. 🙏🏻❤️
I rent myself, and even though I think the same way she does, my mind always go back to “you have to undo all the temp remodeling on everything you did” im like no thank you 😊
Actually a lot of owners might reimburse you for updating their places. Just ask.:)
And lots have very specific rules in the lease to avoid damage, so you can’t call a handyman to your retiled bathroom without fear of being evicted for breaking the lease, no exaggeration
Always ask the homeowner first. This looks great and you did a nice job.
@@shawnascott2787 Thank you for this awesome tip!! ALWAYS AT THE POSITIVE IN ANY SITUATION!!!
As a landlord, I would totally keep it.
Holy Crap! That's Amazing! You did GREAT, Girl!!!
Some of these comment threads are filled with people shaming young adults for being upset that it feels like we will never be able to afford houses. And then giving advice on how to save money to buy a house, as if most of our saved money doesn't go towards monthly bills, car troubles, gas and food, etc. /:
While it is easy to give advice on saving money, it's also really easy to forget the economy, how expensive it is to BUY A HOME, how little we were taught to prep for the future, and how again, most of the saved money we have goes to bills, groceries, gas, or car emergencies, etc.
If I had a decent savings, the last thing I'd buy is a house, the first thing I'd buy is a reliable and cost efficient vehicle because my savings goes towards emergency car troubles 98% of the time due to not being able to afford a decent car 🤷🏼♀️
Y'all can preach money management, savings, etc, all you want.
But it won't make the housing market anymore affordable. Hell the renters market is barely affordable.
Most of y'all should think about whether the advice you're giving actually applies, and is helpful, or if you just feel like adding your 2 cents because you have nothing better to do /:
And no I don't want to hear about how if I just put down 3.5% down payment then I'll be able to-
I don't have a 3.5% down payment.
I love to see women doing hard work it makes me feel good to see that 🌷🥰🥰🥰❤️🙏🙏
Ricky thank you for saying that, you literally made my day. ❤️
😬
The floor looks beautiful, I think your landlord would love it too.
I’ve done this before! I taped down tons of pieces of posterboard to act as a barrier between my floor and the original floors underneath! It worked like a charm
The message at the end of this hits home! Thank you for sharing !
Definitely giving this a try😍
There is always a way! job well done and great reminder to find gratitude and creativity along your journey. 👏🏾🥰
Very thorough! 💞💞 It looks amazing, and with the time spent prepping, once those tiles are removed will not damage the original flooring. Genius! 😉💞🙌
Great job!
Could u pls do a video for placing carpet/ carpet tiles over old carpet? ❤
Girl!!! Where have you been this all time? I needed you in my life!!! I am obsessed 🙀🙀🙀
This might be my favourite diy channel going forth
Dalia I can’t drill holes into my rented place I need more storage and a nice mirror would be nice have you found or recommend any hole free shelves or something ? :) I’ve used stick on hooks but only last a little while
Check out "Yoduvh Essentials!" She did a video where she turned a heavy duty cardboard box into a gorgeous standalone mirror wardrobe! Maybe something like that could help you!
This is exactly why I love to diy my apartment and make it truly “ours”, my husband and I have been here 4+ years now and it’s truly our happy place for now until we move up slowly but surely 🥰
Turned out beautiful
Wow, you've got serious skills, girl.
Love the idea! Where did you order the marble tiles?
Bridget is right about the tiles - Home Depot! They're super affordable! The tape however is only available online - I pinned the link.
What specific vinyl tape did you use? waterproof? Double sided?
She pinned everything she used at the top of the comments
Such a clever idea to use real grout with the peel and stick, looks really good 🥰
That looks super duper cute
This is exactly what I did before putting my bathroom floor down in 2021.. 💕💕💕💕
Hi @shakaracharde! Is your floor holding up okay so far?
We need a full video on this please !
Wow the peeling stick tiles idea looks amazing 👍👍
Thanks for the inspo 🙏🏽 I dream of owning my own home, but I love how you encourage being content in the present and making your current space your own. Beautiful!
Ya know, if you show the owner the floors before you move out, they might want you to keep it anyway, so there's a chance you don't even have to go through the effort to take it all up
A homeowner who doesn’t approve May seek compensation for repairs.
I just want to say thanks . I never ever saw how bad my space/room was and you made me save money to bye my own stuff and it's going to be a amazing. My uncle and dad are carpenters so they know how to build stuff!it's so amazing!!
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
my floor tiles are really thick already, i don’t have the space to put something on top of them or the door won’t go over it 🥺
I always jealous that people can actually touch bathroom floor, sit on it, even sleep. Bathroom is dirty place here and wet all the time.
Beautiful you did awesome with that floor! So smart.
Slay then! That looks awesome!
That looks amazing!! Those skills are going to be extremely valuable when you buy your own home. Great job.
Thank you 🥺💞
Girl i lived in a apartment with my parents and sisters my whole life and im not planning to move out so my dad has a design and started building our own home so now in 2 years the mansion will be ready ❤️🎉🏡(its a big house with 2 floors but i call it a mansion 😂)
Omg that’s so amazing!! Congrats to you and your family 💞💞
I absolutely love your creativity. Your workmanships and yours asked for life. I wish that my landlord would let me make these changes to the 1970 tile that is in the bathroom, 😢 but your floor looks awesome!❤🎉
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! GREAT JOB
A really specific vinyl tape.... Which one?!😂😂
Everything she used is in the pinned comment
The original floor was quite fine girl. Stripping the floor or power washing makes dull tiles pop!
It was fine but she likes this better! Maybe it matches the rest of her space now.
Thank you Dalia. This has really hallows my mindset with redecorating. I’ve hated my bathroom floors for a while. Thank you!
A M A Z I N G… you nailed it 👏👏👏👏👏
Actually if it is an upgrade most owners will be happy for you to do it.
Not true
@@Carlie_flower it is. My boyfriend's aunt decorated her apartment so well that they actually reduced her rent payment
@@as19J01 That's when you know your decorating skills are fire, because they reducing your rent. 😉😏😎
@@Carlie_flower I don't know anyone who feels like you. I put a new vanity, repaired the wall and replaced tiles in bathroom and owner had no problem because then he could get more for rent.
This is false. Good god.
I'm hoping that when they move, she shows how she removes all her diys.
You are a genius!! Thank you for the tip 🙏
Looks fantastic, much better than what’s inside. As a home owner I’d love to have a tenant like you;) I’d even pay for the material
I feel like this is more expensive than actually owning your own house.
Looking at the products she linked, my bathroom would cost like $60-80 to do. I'd be too scared to mess it up though still and do permanent damage. Especially when it comes to the grout.
No😂
pretty mUrrble tile 😂
Very talented woman!
You go girl really pretty.
Watch how the landlord wants to keep this in the home after they leave. Lol 😂 cause if this was me I would
*Eeeeeeeeeexcuse me… I’m gonna need you to come help me right away (please and thanks)*
I dream of that too, Dalia...great job!
This is a great hack, those tiles would have been bomb with a charcoal grout! ❤️
Here are the products I used:
- Removable Vinyl Tape (I recommend getting the transparent kind): amzn.to/3EdIeSc
- Peel & Stick Marble Tiles: rstyle.me/+HSJ2aKo-oHvB-NgFrdvM6g
- Grout (tbh I might have gone with grey if I were doing this again): rstyle.me/+K2UCUlGh0pYAjVGFgbLCRg
- Grout Float: rstyle.me/+hcAbZX2OXotxxmYvYjBewQ
- Tile Spacers (I now realize I was putting these in the wrong way - clearly I'm not an expert but hey it worked out): rstyle.me/+ytd_xJxuLnpQ2bh8nWWFzA
- Microfiber Sponge: rstyle.me/+LUnB8VxHpjm1nO50yhfKLw
You grouted peel and stick tiles?.... huh...never would have considered that
Gotta make sure the bathroom doesn't flood or water doesn't seep into those cracks and starts making the tape under unstick
How did you cut to size on the edges?
The vinyl link has a bunch of duct tape, electrical vinyl, polyethylene tape, etc. Is it the 3M vinyl general purpose tape?
I have always felt the same way. People would asked me, "why are you making someone else house nice" and I would reply, "right now this is my home, it's the place my family has holidays, birthdays, it's where my children are growing up, it's where my Husband has his friends over and my kids have sleepovers. So for now I treat it as if it were my home." You've got the right idea as far as far as I'm concerned 🥰 Edit: Landlords have always loved my upgrades, so that's an added plus as well!!
Is this renter friendly?
She’s renting currently and she laid down a vinyl tape to protect the flooring underneath. Should be renter friendly but still be prepared for the work that comes with removing it well.
The most I’m willing to do is the peel and stick wallpaper or the grass wall but there’s no way I’m gonna spend an extra week when I’m moving out of this place to take down all of that stuff. More power to her though because her place looks beautiful lol.
That's so positive! Make the place where you do live better
You did this!!!
So creative!
Love it!!!
Great job Miss Inspirational. I love this.
Oh snaps! The out of the box thinking is AMAZING!!
This really looks good and you did a great job.
Owning a home is sometimes cheaper than renting! And hacks like this are awesome when you don't have money to upgrade! 💜
