Let me just say I love how basic and detailed this video is for a novice painter such as myself

Monica breaks down the steps with a cheery and humorous (at times) so the process is easy to understand. encouragement from the East Coast Creative is everything!

I’m so so grateful for this video! Monica is fantastic, explains so well for beginners. I just purchased my first home and it will be my first experience painting! This video has given me such confidence to tackle the big job ahead of me. Thank you thank you!

Love these videos! HELPFUL TIP: I always cut the strip of the paper paint swatch with the name and sheen of the paint color of the room. Then I tape it to the inside of the light switch cover. That way if I don’t have the paint can for the room in my garage, I can take the light switch cover off and see exactly what I used in the room if I need to touch it up.

This video popped up as an ad and I literally searched for it again because it was such a great tutorial! Thank you for making this video because I learned so much and feel confident I could do this own my own.

I just smashed my first ever paint job! Thank you so much for your step by step teaching! There's no way it would've come out so well without you.

Obsessed with Monica, all the way over from Northern Ireland! She’s inspired me to tile my on backsplash! I feel like I can conquer the world 😁

I was looking up tips on how to paint since I've never done it before. This video was awesome and our bathroom has been transformed just by painting. This is the very best video for new painters. Now I'm watching all these "The Weekender" videos that I've been missing.

She's BAAAACK!!!!


oh please Lowe's! never let go of Monica.


Bring back more of The Weekender! I'm so happy!

Monica ... great video = no nonsense, direct to subject & clear techniques. I sincerely hope that you continue with Lowe's tip & how-to's.

I’ve never painted before and am not artistic or coordinated. This video has definitely made me feel better about helping my friend paint her house!

[kamiborisova]

I miss The Weekender so much!! Hope there'll be more of it soon! Love Monica's projects and her sense of style! ❤

[sashakartus]

I love your video. I had problems to organize it, make it ready. Also to use well all the new tools. When you do it this way it can be even fun. I was frustrated. But I have more paintings to do. Now I’m going to the store and buy the bucket and practically everything. When you are painting with the brush it is clear that you know what you are doing. Love it. I’m going to paint my kitchen and I can’t wait to see it finished. ❤

[blueboi]

This is actually really helpful. Most of it seems almost common sense yet it’s nice for it to still be involved in this. So I don’t make a mistake I didn’t realize I did or didn’t do.

[tessamyers]

Am I watching this even tho I have already painted my room? Yes, yes I am

[AMamasStory]

Monica please come back! Love and miss the Weekender
