    Another free wall art would be to hang unexpected things you already own. For me i found an old coin my grandfather brought back from Europe. It had been sitting in a drawer for years but i never wanted to part with it so i framed it and hung it on my gallery wall (found an old tiny frame from goodwill). Did the same with a pretty old brooch i had. Didnt want to part eith it so it found a new home as a sentimental and unexpected art piece.

    You might appreciate this! I’ve been wanting to paint the arch that separates our little dine-in nook from the rest of our kitchen basically since we moved into our place 3 summers ago - I already have all of the supplies needed to do it but I’ve just been putting it off for whatever reason…until today! Felt motivated at your suggestion, so I finally took an hour this afternoon to do the darn thing and I’m so glad I did! Thanks! Lol

    Don't paint brick. It seals in the moisture which will cause it to deteriorate.
    You can use lime wash, German schmeer, or stain made for brick. Talk to a mason first.

    While I was house sitting for my mom last week my sister came over and decided to deep clean her bathroom and the door to the garage (idk why).
    This week my mom called us up “Did someone clean the door??” She was very confused but said it looks amazing now 😂 So yeah, the little things really can help.

    Think about purchasing a hisense air conditioner, it can go into any window. We own and don't have central air either. We have two units, one for upstairs and one for downstairs and they keep our house pretty cool. Also, open your windows when it is still dark if it is cooler outside, we do this for about an hour before it starts to warm and it helps a lot. Black out window coverings also help with heat during the summer, get white ones though. We do use black sided black out during the winter and they attract the heat and do warm the room. I've never seen the track curtains over a closet style space. This would help add a closet to a room that doesn't have one, which where we live isn't considered a bedroom without it.

    Lots of ideas and options. Cleaning space alone can make such a difference. Repainting doors and trims is a big uplift. I have always stuck with brass door handles, even if they are “office knobs,” because brass does not harbour bacteria….one of its most wonderful attributes.
    I am not a fan of getting slap happy with paint. I paint to refresh and to get as much light as possible into my living space. Other than that I used wall decor that can be hung to create focal points and colour. When I move, or want a change, I just take it off a hook and the space remains neutral. There’s a reason landlords may not allow certain decor…but even in my own home, real estate agents have been in agreement on the neural use of paint.
    The same reason recipes call for vast amounts of sugar is the reason we’re so inundated with ideas for painting everything in our midst.

    If you have someone in your household who is older or has hand/grip problems (or maybe very young, too?) then replacing those old "office" knobs with levered ones improves accessibility, too.

    • @camouflagejumpsuit

      But levers are NOT affordable. I gave up my search. You can save a little by using dummy knobs on doors that don't open from both sides.

    Hey LK, love your videos so much! You clearly have so much knowledge and experience with DIY home upgrades, but I'm wondering--did you have any trouble when you were first learning/have you had any disasters? I'm pretty new to these things, and I feel like I'm always making mistakes, which is especially stressful in a rental! Would love to hear you talk about how you can learn these skills without messing things up too much in the process 😂
    More specifically, do you have any experience with plaster walls? They are super common where I live in Pittsburgh, PA and are so tricky to hang things on! I am grateful for all of the beautiful old homes we have in my city though 🙂

    • @livingwithlk
      @livingwithlk  5 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yes! I have almost always had plaster or concrete walls out here in CA. The trick is to pre-drill a hole and then to screw in a medium sized screw. And for heavy stuff to pre-drill a BIG hole and put in a wall anchor, then a screw. I think I just learn from trial and error and screwing things up all the time haha I've been doing it for years. I am not sure I have any recent examples as I haven't tried anything super new recently.. However.. I did just regrout my bathtub for the first time and shared some learnings there! Oh and also I mentioned in my bathroom makeover that I learned the hard way about using the right paint and brushes. I learn the most from room makeovers when I am challenged with new things!

    Your advise is remarkable and simple and yet what great ideas to look at the doors in your space. Which can provide a change in atmosphere!
    Cleaning with a Mr Clean Pad is really a must for sure and your ideas of painting the doors..,changing out the knobs is something I haven't thought much about..(Your right it wouldn't be difficult in finding pretty or interesting knobs because I've noticed even at the Dollar Tree is carrying some.)
    But ALL your examples shown in each picture was thought provoking...so beautiful..., and made a world of difference be it paint color or wood trim all which would give a feeling of coziness and CHARM!

    A good tip I'd like to share is that if your solid wood doors or stained wood moldings are looking worn you can wipe on a product called Restore a Finish and it will bring them back to life. I have stained wood moldings and doors, and until I can replace them, do this every year and it not only hides a lot of scuffs, it also shins them up.

      Have you asked your landlord? Many landlords actually will appreciate the work, if the tenant puts it in themselves, since it cuts out something they'd have to do eventually. If your door looks terrible, it's likely a sign the landlord doesn't keep up with those things, so I fail to see why they'd have an issue if you want to do it.

    Did you buy your beautiful tiled coffee table or did you make it yourself? we love it!

      I love it too! It’s a vintage danish coffee table worth about $500 but I found it for $25 on facebook marketplace! but you could totally make something like it!:)

    I've been wanting to paint my doors black or deep charcoal but they've been multiple times already and I feel like another amateur coating from me is just going to look even worse 😢 they're currently gloss white

    • @livingwithlk

      I understand that! If you are interested, you could take the time to strip them, or even just sand them down really well with 80, 120, and 220 grit sandpaper -- in that order. But honestly, it wouldn't hurt to paint another coat. I would just suggest getting a foam roller that is made for cabinets and doors, or you could even try out a paint sprayer which would take little to no time at all and give you seamless coverage. Good luck!

    I'm very surprised, in California, that you're in a house with no AC. Seems like over the years, the owner would have invested in a unit or at least a couple of mini splits. Are you allowed to have window units?
    I live in central, Gulf Coast, Florida, no way I'm going without AC. As a landlord, my tenants are not allowed to paint, any other changes need to be requested in writing and approved.

    • @livingwithlk
      @livingwithlk  หลายเดือนก่อน

      tell me about it! but so many CA homes within 15 miles of the beach don’t have AC. it’s just how it is out here.

    Magic erasers liberate thousands of microplastics. Dish soap and water works amazing

      Thanks for the heads-up. I don't use Magic Erasers because I tried them once, hated the feel of them, and the did sweet eff all. Meh. Overrated.

    I like most of these, but if you use hard-to-open curtains to cover storage that you access often, you will come to hate them. Choose your curtain type carefully.

    Is it strange to paint the door trim but not the rest of a halls trim ?😅
