\"\"What\u2019s up, guys? Christy here with Oak Hill Millworks and today I am recapping a home renovation project that I just wrapped up for my kids! Before we dive into the details, let me introduce myself. I am a small business owner in New Brighton, PA and my family is relocating to Kokomo, Indiana.<\/p>\n

So, I recently found myself wanting to brighten my kids\u2019 room up and expand it a bit. Are any fans of demolition reading this? Our house had a 2\u2032 x 3\u2032 foot bump out in the corner of the kids\u2019 room, and we knew there was a chimney behind it. We assumed it was leveling off in the attic, considering there wasn\u2019t a chimney coming out of the roof. I went against my better judgment and started what should have been a simple refresh with primer and paint with demolition instead.\u036d<\/p>\n

\u036d Behr Paint Company strongly recommends the use of highly skilled professionals when undertaking a project that requires demolition.\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Was it worth it to go through all that manual labor to gain an extra 6 square feet of floor space in their room? I vote yes! I love to challenge myself and taking a chimney out on your own, reframing a wall, hanging new drywall, and finally doing the FUN DIY work of painting was a great challenge for me to say the least. Once I finally got the room cleaned up and the walls wiped down, it was time to prep for primer!<\/p>\n

\"Images<\/p>\n

The dark red walls needed a high-hide primer formula to prevent color bleed-through and, because of its thicker formula, help fill in any small dimples or imperfections in the wall. For the majority of the room, I chose KILZ 3\u00ae<\/sup> Premium Primer<\/a> to get the job done well, rather than just getting the job done well enough.<\/p>\n

Priming is foundational for any painting project for good adhesion and just in case you missed things like pencil marks or greasy fingerprints when you were cleaning your walls at the beginning, KILZ 3 Premium Primer<\/a> will act as a stain-blocker to prevent those marks from showing up.<\/p>\n

\"Images<\/p>\n

My room prep this time around was minimal, I taped around windows since I tend to go rogue with my rollers! I did not use drop cloths because I knew I was also going to rip out the carpet and install new flooring, otherwise I would 100% recommend drop cloths. I almost ALWAYS spill paint one way or another!<\/p>\n

\"Images<\/p>\n

After rolling on 2 coats of KILZ 3 Premium Primer<\/a>, it was time to see the room take shape by painting with BEHR\u00ae<\/sup> Premium Plus Interior<\/a> paint in Silver Drop. I have always felt that painting a room is truly the best and most cost-effective way to really allow a space to become something new. A great tip, if you are rolling paint on, is to wrap your roller in inters’ tape and then unwind it and watch some fuzzies come loose \u2014 this prevents those fuzzies from getting in your topcoat! Beyond that, though, don\u2019t skimp on the roller. Spend a couple of extra bucks and get a nicer one; you won\u2019t regret it. It truly does make a difference in the finish.<\/p>\n

Drumroll please\u2026 here it is!<\/p>\n

Priming was a necessary step to block that deep red color from breaking through since we went so light on the topcoat color. Not priming could cost you time and money in the long run, so don\u2019t skip that step. I am so happy with how this room remodel turned out. Although I did some major renovations to add to the overall transformation, priming & painting were ESSENTIAL in making it look like a brand new, light & bright space.<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t it look so much bigger too? Hard to deny that primer is key for Instagram-worthy photo finishes. Time to chalk this one up as a win and get started planning my next DIY project! Cheers!<\/p>\n
