Learn how to do a whitewash paint in today's video!
This week we started a big project in our CREEPY basement! We wanted to turn this large storage space into a playroom for our kids.
We have 4 children, and with them comes lots of noise and mess... and we decided it would be good if they had their own space to be loud, messy, and have fun!
Our basement was big enough, it is almost a 3rd of the usable space in our small home, so finishing it made sense.
The main issue was that the basement was dark and creepy! What kid wants to play in a dark creepy space?
So to brighten up our basement we decided to whitewash the ceiling.
We used 1 part paint to 2 parts water. Mixed this in a bucket, and painted it on with a brush.
It takes a LONG LONG time, this project took me about 26 hours total, but the final product looks amazing!
