WELL.
>>> FROM PAINTED FLOORS TO
REFINISHED STAINED SURFACES,
LESLIE SINCLAIR IS HERE WITH
TIPS ON HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR
LUX.
LET'S GET INTO THIS.
AND START WITH THE STAIN --
REFINISHING STAINED SURFACES.
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THIS HERE, YOU
CAN SEE THAT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE
SOMETHING THAT'S ORIGINAL ORANGE
OR OUTDATED IN YOUR HOUSE.
WE SEE THIS A LOT IN STUDIES OR
YOU HAVE ORANGE BEAMS.
OR KITCHEN CABINETS.
YOU USED TO HAVE TO STRIP THEM
AND REFINISH THEM.
NOW YOU CAN TAKE SOMETHING LIKE
LOOKS LIKE THIS AND WITH A
SERIES OF GLAZES, YOU CAN TURN
SAMPLES.
>> WOW.
SO THIS LOOKS MORE LIKE THAT OLD
NATURAL KIND OF WOOD.
IT'S AMAZING THAT YOU CAN
TRANSFORM BY A SIMPLE STAIN.
>> WHAT'S BECOME REALLY POPULAR
IS THE RECLAIMED BEAM LOOK.
SO INSTEAD OF HAVING RECLAIMED
EXPENSIVE --
>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS
PICTURE YOU HAVE HERE.
SO THIS IS TAKING IT IN -- THIS
STAINS.
>> SOMETIMES INSTEAD OF
STAINING, YOU CAN ACTUALLY PAINT
YOUR CABINETS.
AND THEN DO GLAZES ON IT.
SO THIS HAS BECOME SO POPULAR
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE USING THEIR
KITCHEN AS PART OF THEIR HOUSE.
SO NOW IT LOOKS LIKE FURNITURE
RUE THEN JUST -- RATHER THAN
JUST UTILITARIAN.
>> IF YOU'RE GETTING READY TO
SELL YOUR HOME.
THE KITCHEN A PRIMARY ROOM YOU
WANT TO FOCUS ON.
>> AND YOU ALSO DEFINITELY GET
IT OUT ANY MONEY YOU PUT IN.
THIS IS A SAMPLE HERE OF
POSSIBLY A KITCHEN CABINET.
>> THIS ONE IS INTO THE LIGHT.
>> IT'S HEAVY -- NOT LIGHT.
>> IT'S HEAVY J..
YOU CAN SEE THE BASE COAT IS.
IT'S WHAT YOUR CABINETS LOOKS
LIKE BEFORE WE DO THE FINISH ON
TOP.
SO HERE YOU CAN SEE YOU ADD
DIFFERENT GLAZES TO KIND OF
BRING OUT THE DETAIL OF YOUR
CABINET.
>> AND LOCK OF -- A LITTLE MORE
OF THAT SPECKLED TO IT.
THE ORIGINAL RIGHT THERE AND ALL
THE SPECKLED TO IT ADDS EXTRA
PIZAZZ.
>> FEWER BRINGY, THEN YOU CAN
PUT -- BLINGIE, THEY ENTHEN YOU CAN
ADD A LITTLE GOAD LEAF.
>> SO MOVE -- GOLD LEAF.
>> SO MOVING ON TO STENCILING.
>> WELL, EVERYONE HAS HEARD OF
WALLPAPER OF COURSE.
STENCILING IS A HAPPENED
PAINTED --ÑÑ
GIVE@█@█
A WALLPAPER EFFECT.
WHAT'S AWESOME IS IN A BATHROOM,
YOU DON'T HAVE MILDEW AND THINGS
LIKE@█@█
THAT.
THERE'S NO SEAMS LIKE YOU HAVE
WHEN YOU@ñ@ñ
DO WALLPAPERS.
>> NOW, STENCILING, DO YOU DO IT
MORE IN YOUR SMALLER SPACES?
>> ACTUALLY, WE HAVE DONE
TWO-STORY ENTRYWAYS.
WE'VE DONE SMALL POWDER BATHS,
SO IT LOOKS GOOD IN GREAT
ARENAS.
>> SO THE BIGGER THE ROOM, THE
BIGGER THE STENCIL?
>> NOT NECESSARILY.
SOMETIMES THE SMALLER ROOM, THE
BIGGER THE STENCIL.
IT DEPENDS ON THE ARCHITECTURE.
IF YOU WANT TO LIFT YOUR
CEILINGS A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY
DON'T PUT PATTERN OR COLOR.
BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, SENTENCE
SILLING ON THE CEILING MAKES IT
A REALLY FUN EFFECT.
VERSUS ON THE WALLS.
>> AND THAT'S NOT JUST PUTTING
THE NIGHT SKY ON YOUR CEILING.
>> NO, IT'S NOT.
>> LET'S MOVE ON TO PAINTED
FLOORS.
>> OKAY.
PAINTED FLOORS ARE A NEW TREND.
SO INSTEAD OF DOING TILE,
SOMETIMES WE'LL PAINT OVER
FLOORS.
AND IT'S REALLY COOL.
YOU CAN DO LIKE INLAID LOOKS,
GRAPHIC DESIGNS.
YOU CAN MAKE IT LOOK
CONTEMPORARY OR TRADITIONAL.
>> JUST SOMETHING COMPLETELY
REDIFFERENT FROM REFINISHING THE
WOOD.
KIND OF IN PLACE OF A CARPET OR
THAT UNUSUAL TOUCHES YOU WOULD
NOT EXPECT IN A HOME.
>> YES, IT GIVES YOU A POP AND
AN INTEREST STATEMENT.
>> IT'S JUST FABULOUS.
IT GIVES THAT YOU EXTRA
ON.
>> PLUS YOU HAVE A FLOOR THAT NO
ONE ELSE HAS, BECAUSE YOU CAN
COME OUT WITH YOUR OWN PATTERN.
>> LET'S MOVE ON TO VENTED
HOODED HOODS.
>> THE PICTURES THAT WE SHOW,
IT'S KIND OF -- THIS IS AN
OUTDATED KITCHEN THAT SOMEONE
HAD BOUGHT.
AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THE BUDGET
TO RIP IT OUT.
SO THEY CALLED ME IN AND WE DID
IT WITH PAINT AND PLASTER, WHICH
IS AMAZING.
SO THIS IS OLD TILE.
AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEW
ONE, WE TOOK PLASTER.
WE PUT IT OVER THE TILE, GOT RID
OF ALL THE GROUT LINES.
>> THAT'S JUST AMAZING.
SURFACE.
IT'S NOT UP THERE.
>> SO MOVING ON TO PLASTERING,
LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.
>> YEAH.
>> MAKE SURE I'VE GOT THE RIGHT
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE
ROOM.
SO THE PLASTER WE DO IS ACTUALLY
THE PLASTER THEY USED YEARS AGO
EUROPE A LOT.
WE'VE COME UP WITH A WAY TO BOND
THAT TOPCOAT DIRECTLY OVER
SHEETROCK.
AFFORDABLY.
>> THAT IS JUST INCREDIBLE.
THAT ROOM.
THE STONE IS STONE.
BUT THEN WHEN YOU GET IN THERE,
IT ALMOST LIKES A LITTLE EXTRA
TEXTURE ON THE WALLS.
>> PLASTER IS INTERESTING
BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF DEPTH
WITHOUT BEING BUSY.
>> SO IS IT MORE THE PLASTERING
STENCILING.
SO STENCILING YOU GET THE POP,
BUT WITH THE PLASTERING YOU GET
AN ILL LYINGS.
>> IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH --
ILLUSION.
>> WE PLASTERED THE WALLS BUT
THE CEILING IS PLASTER AND
POLISHED.
WITHTAKE A CAR WAX -- WE TAKE A
CAR WAXER AND BUFF THE SEAL OUT,
GIVING THE ILLUSION THAT THE
CEILING IS TALLER.
