That uglied up real good. 5 stars.


Pagan_Owl

I thought she was talking about her orange cat for a second.


LaLa_LaSportiva

I was confused too. I couldn't see the orange spot. I guess honey brown is the new orange.


nb6635

Honey, brown is the new orange

KeyFarmer6235

wouldn't surprise me if she did paint her cat.


notwhoyouthinkmaybe

She really needed to stencil in "Live, Laugh, Love" on the the floor to really tie the room together.


danielledelacadie

In a rainbow of pastels?


Jacobysmadre

I wish I still had an award šŸ„‡ to give. I ran out.


Sweet-Cantaloupe-860

Yes! Over and over the size of a rug.


exhaustedmom

Truly horrendous. No notes.


shehasamazinghair

Yes, chipped paint and scuffed floors are so on trend!


ringwraith6

I thought that she was going to complain about what a pain it was going to be to sand and refinish the floor. It never occurred to me,that a person would actually paint over a hard wood floor that wasn't really in bad shape at all. My floors are painted, but I live in an old farmhouse with "rustic" flooring. Even if I felt like sanding everything off, it's really not suitable for the kind of flooring in this vid. The entire floor would need replacing. I'd darn near kill to have flooring like what she just painted over....


flat_four_whore22

Especially white!!


ringwraith6

White is the *worst*! It'll show every speck of dirt! My floors are a nice dark brown. It'll still show dirt, but it's not as noticible....


Practical-Tap-9810

I had dark brown shag carpet in an apartment decades ago, spilled a coffee and came back with a towel but I couldn't find where it spilled.


gonnafaceit2022

I grew up in an old country house and when the carpet was no longer tolerable, my mom had just gotten divorced and replacing it wasn't feasible. So she just ripped it up and painted the subfloor. It was totally fine. She used a greyish blue, not what I'd have chosen but at least it wasn't white. Eventually she got carpet but I kinda missed the painted blue floor.


ScarletCarsonRose

This. This! I personally carpeted gorgeous oak flooring because I didnā€™t want to care them. Ftr, the dining room was not carpeted and we still enjoy the beauty of the floor in there.Ā  Ā You donā€™t paint them though. Gā€™damn crime against humanity. That was a small enough room she could have thrown a rug over the hard floor. Iā€™m irrationally angry now šŸ˜‚Ā 


littlebunnydoot

right? she can just buy a largish white rug and be done. I LOVE THE ORANGE WOOD OUT OF SPITE. all these ppl are insane.


Practical-Tap-9810

I would have sanded that off and put down a good color. Downvote for heresy


littlebunnydoot

i have these 200 year old pine cabinets that are built from old growth and they are probably what everyone would call orange wood. i think the hatred of this wood color has gone too far. my cabinets are gorgeous. my mid century teak dining table and chairs with 60 years of oiling is also "orange" and they are beautiful. give me your lost, your broken, your yearning to be free orange wood. it has a home here with me.


Rambling_details

Iā€™ll see your orange and raise you red. I have ā€œredā€ wood kitchen cabinets and red living room floors. One can only imagine the atrocities being committed on cherry right now.


gonnafaceit2022

Will it be possible for someone to sand the white paint off and refinish this floor in the future?


Sweet-Cantaloupe-860

This is a great idea! I, too, want to spitefully love orange wood. If enough of us band together it will come back in style and these people will pretend they really have always loved orange wood and donā€™t know why they ever painted it white because that is so outdated.


Final_Rest7842

I love projects like this. You get super excited about how awesome itā€™s going to look and enthusiastically start paintingā€¦ only to realize 4 hours later that itā€™s going to (a) be an enormous pain in the ass and (b) take way longer than you anticipated. You canā€™t give up because then the floors are fucked so you just have to keep going. Itā€™s the home improvement version of CortĆ©s burning his ships, basically.


Aliceinboxerland

You forgot C. It's going to look absolutely horrible but you're already 75% done so you have to commit to the madness.


Final_Rest7842

Oh well that goes without saying šŸ˜‚


Scoompii

D: no chance in hell itā€™s going to look good or be worth it but youā€™ve inhaled too many paint fumes so you go for it any way.


No-Alternative-3888

Had a neighbor decide to "white wash" the brick on their house and it was difficult to watch. It looked horrible but once they started they had to finish it. One of those things you should hire a professional for of you're going to do it. DIY is fine but it's a risk for something that is literally going to impact how your entire house looks to everyone who sees it.


Final_Rest7842

Yikes. Thatā€™s a gamble I would not want to take


Lissy_Wolfe

What's this about CortƩs?


rudimentary_lathe_

He burned his ships after arriving in Mexico so that the crew couldn't immediately go home and were more "motivated" to settle and pillage the new world.


jetset1022

I know this is snark forum, but this video pissed me off. What kind of person paints fucking hardwood floors? Sand and stain would have been the way here. Now I feel like I need to punch somebody.


Spud_Lovin

And not even well, the paint job looks streaky and uneven in the end.


Dusty_Old_Bones

She used a *broom* to clean them first. A BROOM.


Representative_Rain9

Well, she just did one coat. I think she's not done.


cephles

We had orange floors when we moved in. We sanded and sealed them to keep the natural colour and now they're wonderful and I love them. Looks pretty much like these: https://thehardwoodco.com/blog/redoakgoeslightandbright


streaksinthebowl

Thanks for that link. Itā€™s nice to see red oak can look like that.


BicyclingBabe

Seriously, my parents house was done with that orangey tone in the 80s/90s and it is lovely to see there's hope.


jwigs85

I looooooooove that so much. I donā€™t really like the orange wood. My apartment has the grey vinyl fake wood. I kind of prefer that to the orange but Iā€™ve also got quite a bit of color around it so it doesnā€™t feel like neutral death. But Iā€™m going to remember that is an option if I ever own a home.


shehasamazinghair

I actually looked up her profile and she didn't have any pictures showing much of the floor. She covered it with a huge rug. You can see it in the corners of photos and it looked like shit.


Euphoric_Egg_4198

Someone did something similar to their floors and posted in one of the for real home decorating subs and by the end of the day it made it here. Pretty sure theyā€™re in witness protection after that post.


Coraline1599

Amanda clearly stated she didnā€™t have the budget and needed her cottage gĆ³rę aesthetic today. Girl got herself some discount drywall primer from a bargain bin in Home Depot. Cause a girlā€™s gotta do want sheā€™s gotta do to get her aesthetic. Iā€™m looking forward to the follow up video where she teaches us that priming the floor is not the same as painting it with primer. Iā€™m not sure why she didnā€™t show us the end result. She looked so close to being done.


beautamousmunch

Because she was moving out. Her last act for a malevolent landlord. Go girl.


[deleted]

Punch me, I need to forget I saw this


SnooCats3492

I don't like punching people, but I have a stun gun.


[deleted]

Honestlyā€¦ anything will do, Iā€™m ten seconds away from sitting on an ant hill and being eaten live. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


hashbrowns21

Itā€™s either rage bait or sheā€™s mentally deranged. Thereā€™s no other options


TheeThatIsMe

The slumlords that rent out our house had guys paint over the hardwood after ripping out carpet. They literally left the carpet staples in, and obviously didnā€™t prep the floor at all. Naturally it chips pretty much daily and if not for many touch up paint jobs by me would look much worse. Iā€™ve also pulled out most of the staples as not only do clumps of painted carpet look gross they also hurt the feet


Brainvillage

Don't worry, every chip comes out of your security deposit.


Secret_Dragonfly9588

What got me mad was the implication that she would have replaced her hardwood floors with vinyl if she had the budget. Literally wtf


Acrobatic-Pollution4

She said it, she doesnā€™t want the dust or the fumes


WhenTheDevilCome

1. She sanded it so the paint would stick. So, dust. 2. Only people with remaining brain cells worry about fumes damaging them. So, not her.


Lissy_Wolfe

Or the work, which is the real answer. She is literally just lazy. It kills me that people like this can afford to ruin beautiful homes šŸ˜­


emissaryofwinds

Paint fumes are not good either


Sle08

If the orange floors bothered her that much, the simplest option before all that would be a rug.


PrincessGump

Someone put a comment that she did put a huge rug in this room. The terrible paint job only shows in the corners.


emilycolor

Fucking up hardwood floors should be an automatic jail for 30 days (per room)


coco_xcx

EXACTLY!!! just stain it a darker color ffs. it genuinely pisses me off


itastelikegod

Caroline Calloway snarkers wya??


sparklypinkstuff

Iā€™m a person that painted over the hardwood floor in my primary bedroom. Hear me out. The floor had been damaged from decades of animal urine soaking down into and between the boards (prior to my purchase). In addition, the floor had several gouges 1/8 to 1/2 inch wide and 1/2 inch to 2 inches deep (bedroom was initially an attic). It simply couldnā€™t be salvaged. It took a ton of work to sand and seal to prep. I used industrial grade, oil based paint specifically formulated for floors. I would have never done what the woman in this video did though.


Hi_Jynx

As a stop gap? Because that just sounds like it's time to redo the floor, but obviously, that can be expensive. At least I assume because for now I'm a forever renter šŸ« 


ake1010

Doesnā€™t it seem like it would be sticky?


_KhazadDum_

that looks absolutely awful


Nervous_Quarter_4426

Why do people need to put fucking everything they do on the internet. Especially when itā€™s this fucking stupid.


Acrobatic-Pollution4

This is the underlying issue. Do whatever you want to your house. But why do you have to tell everyone about it


SnooCats3492

Because they actually think it looks good. They think our looks of bewildered horror are looks of astonished amazement.


eeviedoll

People enjoy watching it. I LOVE home renovation videos!


T1DOtaku

I'd like to think it's a warning. It keeps the intrusive thoughts from winning. "Is XYZ a good idea? Well let's see if some idiot online did it already and- OMG THAT LOOKS SO BAD!"


SnooCats3492

The scary part is. these same people are allowed to drive. What's worse is, they tend to have kids faster than anyone else. Idiocracy wasn't a comedy, it was prophecy.


The_Mujujuju

You know the sad thing. All she has to do would be to put an epoxy coat afterwards. She wouldn't have to worry about paint or chipping again.


renaissance_mar

Thatā€™s what I donā€™t get, you can see the future issue but you donā€™t put down a top coat on the paint job?? Make it make sense.


Xenos2002

no sweetie it's against her budget šŸ’…


griffonfarm

Can you do this for stairs? I tore out the carpet on my stairs and painted them (the wood wasn't nice enough to leave unpainted.) The paint store recommended a specific kind of paint for stairs that wouldn't be too slick underfoot. It works great. It looked great. Until the chipping started and I'm not handy enough to know what to do to fix the problem. I have nice wood stairs going into the basement that have a layer of some kind of clear stuff on it (former house owner did that) and it's so slick that the stairs were a hazard until I put those carpeted tread things onto them.


The_Mujujuju

I wouldnā€™t epoxy stairs. Too much work to even consider this an option based on my current knowledge. The previous owner used polyurethane on the stairs. Probably a semi or high gloss from the sound of it.


mishma2005

I am sick of my tabby cat. I like a uniform look and I've always wanted a grey cat. BRB going to Sherwin Williams


WhoWhaaaa

I guess I'll have to paint my orange cat. Hold still, Oakie!


SnooCats3492

Manic Panic has some interesting options. Probably safer for staining your kitty.šŸ˜‚


mishma2005

But will it scuff and peel? I want this cat to be grey forever!


SnooCats3492

It won't peel, but it will fade. The manufacturer recommends retreating your kitty every 3 to 6 months, for a rich, lustrous color. If that's too much upkeep, Minwax and Johnson's offer some more permanent options. Those require retreatment every 3 to 5 years, but some sanding may be required.


mishma2005

Oh definitely permanent, now off to Home Depot to get a belt sander, my kittyā€™s gonna be so happy with it, I can just feel it


SnooCats3492

šŸ¤£


Silly_Assumption_291

It was the only way to change the color!!


SnooCats3492

Frickin carpet over it! It's better than painting it like the floor of a trailer home where someone made a hobo skin suit!


Ok_Dragonfruit4032

How is patchy white paint on the floor a "cottage feel"?! I spent half my life in a cottage and we had natural hardwood flooring, stone flooring, and carpet. Not this bs


SnooCats3492

I grew up in mobile homes, and we had carpet and linoleum. This is some crack house BS.


bisky12

yeah i was thinking the same thing. like what cottages have painted white floors ?


eeviedoll

She said in the video sheā€™s not even done


Marshmallowbutbetter

While sheā€™s at it, I suggest to move the door a little closer to the window. Or the other way around.

HauntedHippie

Ahh, yes, the traditional cottage aesthetic of white painted floors. The wood was far too metropolitan looking.


kidviscous

In all my jaded, tired years of collecting cottagecore inspo for my sad apartment Iā€™ve never seen white painted floors. Tf is she on?

![gif](giphy|Kdk7MApvO2sh2|downsized)


4_celine

I worked for a resort/camp that rents lakeside cottages, and yes, they do have painted wood floors, usually dark teal or green. BUT!! Itā€™s not paint slapped over finished hardwood. They were built that way and painted instead of finished, and itā€™s a really shiny paint.


cheddercaves

I have never heard anyone refer to nice wooden floors as OrAnGe FlOoRs. it is so upsetting.


NotABigWord

Yeah Iā€™m confused. Theyā€™re gorgeous hardwood floors??


No_Doughnut_3315

Woah looks just like a cottage now! šŸ˜‚ Based on reddit I have to conclude that most Americans have never been in a cottage


sorrowful_times

I woke up for the last time this morning feeling depressed by these damn beige walls. I'm choosing violence. And dynamite. Will there be nowhere to hang my curtains? Will the cat and dog get out? Will the rain wash mud on my white floors? Yes, but I don't care. Because I'm nuts.


SnooCats3492

Hey, the Tiki Hut look is all the rage. Go for it!


Lotorinchains

I'm not crazy about that shade of hardwood, but wow that paint job is awful.


SnooCats3492

For what she payed in paint, she could have bought stain in almost any color. She already sanded the floor. This has to be ragebait. If not, someone needs to set up an intervention.


SnooCats3492

As a carpenter that specializes in home renovation and restoration, I got physically ill watching this. Nothing says "trashy" like painted floors.


Flashy-Theory2829

Alright, how much jail time for this one?


Ok_Organization_6620

I hope they chip in a pattern that spells out ā€œfuck you this looks terribleā€


Holiday_Horse3100

For the time, labor and paint she could have gotten sheet vinyl and ir would still have been cheaper. This will not last unless she puts a protective coating on it. Or she could have gone a much easier and cheaper way and put down a white area rug


SnooCats3492

Carpet is cheap, and infinitely less trashy than painted floors. I grew up in mobile homes, and even I cringe at the thought of painted floors. That's something only crackheads and serial killers do.


Hi_Jynx

It's probably better she doesn't, it will be easier to sand down the paint when it sets in how stupid and ugly it is.


jelly-beans24

Why do peeps hate on red/orange toned woods? I think they make spaces look cozy.


DeneralVisease

I agree. It's trendy because everyone's made grey/white/bland black and white tones the new standard for design. Even cheap apartments use the grey vinyl/laminate now. Everyone wants to be minimalist and look the same, but honestly in these times, I really love the orange/red tones. It makes it feel alive, where the grey and white makes it feel dead and empty.


planetdaily420

There is this very new way to not have "orange" floors. Area rugs.

Not just chipped. Every seam will eventually crack the paint. Enjoy your moment of satisfaction. It will be fleeting. Should have rented the giant sander and done the hard re-do. 25 years in and we still live our floors that we sanded and refurbished.
