BUDGET KITCHEN FLOOR MAKEOVER USING HOME BARGAINS PEEL & STICK VINYL TILES | *£20!* | MR CARRINGTON

hello everybody hope you're all well welcome back to my channel welcome back to a brand new video today i thought we would tackle the kitchen floor if you've been here for a while you will have seen i've done a few makeovers on this kitchen over the years the first one was that i painted the kitchen cupboard i'll link that video down below so i painted them this gray color then i moved on and painted the kitchen tiles i'll also link that video down below and also built in some under cabinet storage here which i upcycled some crates for and also some old cd racks to make some mug storage but today i thought we would have a go at tackling this floor so the kitchen and the floor is over 10 years old and i spied these in home bargains so these are stick ease peel and stick vinyl floor tile so you get five in a pack they're self-adhesive the neutral geometric in case you're interested they had a few different designs in store and they're 1.99 a pack and you get five per pack and the tile size is 305 by 305 centimeters before we get into the video if you're new here to click subscribe i post new videos every single week and if you enjoy this part is it part three i guess at the kitchen makeover then do give this one a thumbs up right then i haven't got a coffee for a quick sip of the coffee so we'll just have to get straight into it so i've gathered a few bits that i thought would be handy i've got a couple of craft knives some scissors i've also got a sharpie for marking the tiles with i've got a tape measure in case i need that and also a couple of rulers or protractors these are the only ones i could find it's so typical isn't it when you go to do a job like this and all the normal rulers are nowhere to be seen the house is currently in chaos i did find this board which was the back of a picture frame i'm going to use to do the cutting on so this is the current floor and i think this might be an old version of the luxury vinyl floor tiles that you get because it seems to be stuck down in panels and you can sort of see that some of them have moved a tiny bit i gave it a good mop last night just using some bleach so hopefully we'll be good to go and what i will do is just sweep ahead of myself so i'll keep the dustpan and brush to hand just to go over any areas just to make sure they're free of any dust before we start sticking and i just got the instructions out which are quite thorough which is giving me some reassurance that these hopefully will be a good product so we'll start by finding the center and then we will work from there the only thing is i'm not quite sure what the center is because is it like from between the two cupboards or is it from the wall that goes underneath these units so that's the center here 110 so 55 would be here and then underneath the tiles they have arrows so you want to make sure your arrows are all pointing in the right direction so i'm going to make sure that the arrows are pointing towards the window and that way they will all match up neatly he says and then i'm also going to measure the length of the room okay so i think i have found the middle what i'm going to do is line up this top i'm going to cheat it across a little bit i'm not too worried about centralizing it just so that i can use these straight lines here on these tiles as a guide here it goes so we'll peel off the back remember to make sure that you check which way your arrows are facing i'm going to start off just with this side and i'm going to line this up really carefully before i commit that's perfect and it says that this stuff is incredibly slippy once you've peeled it off yeah they're right we dispose of that straight away to avoid me ending up my face in the [Music] in a oven i'm high on slow dancing with you one two three keep it going last forever all blacked out then flying with you [Music] as you can see i'm just focusing on this central part and then we'll work into all the edges once all the main bulk of the floor is covered [Music] okay we are making some progress i've pretty much laid out all the full tiles that i can i think we can squeeze in a couple more tiles without cutting under here some bits i just need to keep pressing down because they're lifting a little bit which is slightly concerning i hope that's not going to be the case maybe you need some stronger adhesive any that are lifting a little bit i think i'm going to put some heavy bits on just to make sure that they get a chance to stick tell you what i am sweating doing this it's actually quite labor intensive bizarrely but satisfying at the same time starting to do some fiddly bits now so this tile doesn't quite fit here where the kitchen cabinet is so we have a tiny bit of excess i'm just going to mark what that line is and then we also need to measure how deep that's going to go so if i line it up here now i'm just going to take it to here going to draw a line between the two actually is just the border line on this which makes it slightly easier so we can see that should be the piece that we cut out if you wanted to be extra careful you could measure this piece here as well that goes to 40 over let's see yeah that's the same so we know we're correct very carefully using the blade i'm going to cut the tile [Music] so here is the moment of truth [Music] with the remaining piece i'm going to pop this to one side for the left-hand side of the kitchen because it is this piece that we will be able to use on the other side i'm going that way tonight are you close to here i'm feeling down i don't know [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay i think i am done but it wouldn't be a room makeover with a few new bits and i picked up recently a few flowers from ikea these were actually in the sale for three pounds per bunch for these beautiful summer flowers so i picked up two of these i got this little vars that was one pound fifty i just thought that would be perfect to pop these into and i've also got this plant that was reduced to i think one pound this is really nice kind of fine fern and then i also got some of these miniature potted plants and these were down to one pound as well i think these were five pounds previously so i've got a couple of those to decorate with and then i'll show you the finished vlog oh dear so this just happened it was going so well okay i think i am done so i will leave you with some shots of the finished floor and the new look of the kitchen let me know in the comments what you think of it i am shattered it probably took me about four hours in total which isn't bad going and i used 10 packets so we are talking for this makeover 20 pounds so let me know if you think it was worth it and if you're new here do click subscribe for new videos
