Pantry build for our French farmhouse kitchen - part 2

bour everyone I hope you're all doing well I'm coming back with an update on our pantry build in this video maybe you've seen the previous videos in which I started building a shelving unit for the big storage that I'm creating for our pantry so I'm continuing putting the second unit together here while Olaf is still continuing all of what I would call the technical things to be done so our pantry is not just a pantry it is basically a technical hub for this part of our house our house is three parts It's The Old Farmer's house it's the former Barn which is where we're creating our kitchen and pantry and it is the former Stables which we've already turned into a holiday home now each of these three parts have a lot of electricity and plumbing going on actually each part has its own electrical I don't know what that's called where all the fuses are so a hub I would say and here in the pantry Olaf needs to create that for this part of the house but actually when it comes to Plumbing there's a whole lot going on in this Pantry because all of the plumbing for the upstairs bathroom needs to come through here but also the plumbing for the future project which we don't know when we'll start that but the Old Farmer's house will also have a bathroom maybe even a kitchen and we need to make all the preparations for the plumbing for that it all will run through the pantry so I've said this before and I'll say it again when you're building with a house like this it's so different from what I was used to having a house that that's already finished and you're just remodeling that is a way smaller task this includes so much structural work and so much technical stuff that I find extremely boring of course cuz I just want to get to the painting and the colors and the decor and I will get to that in this video right these tongue and groove pieces that I'm using are incredibly War warped so I'm trying to get the straightest ones first and keep the Warped ones way for the end and Olaf's probably going to have to give me a hand pushing them in and keeping them straight while I attach them to the wood [Music] spee spe thinke for for [Music] now that I finished the two shelving units I want to start painting them now I am a huge fan of a specific paint brand it's called Fon ball and I love it for their very deep and Rich colors and I know I have a lot left over because I've used the same color in many parts of our house already but when I opened the can of the primer paint I could tell that you know it's been in the old part of our house it might have been a little too cold I last used this maybe 2 years ago or a year ago so I wasn't sure if this was still okay enough and also the IKEA cabinets I also want to paint them and I just want to get this job done so while I was at our local paint store I asked if they could make this same color which is very difficult to get that done and I wasn't sure if it would be the exact same deep rich beautiful color but I was very happy to get the paint so I could continue this [Music] project for [Music] for [Music] so I had just enough of the original paint left to paint a first coat and I'm going to use the new paint that I bought that's from a different brand but it's supposed to be the same color so I'm sure to get the same color on both the units that I made and on the kitchen cabinets that I bought from [Music] Ikea [Music] on [Music] so if ever you want to paint Ikea furniture that laminated furniture or a cabinets what I have learned from this professionals paint store is you sand it not too much with 120 grain and then you put a primer on which is the most important thing then you do not sand in between the primer coat and your finishing coats and I put two coats of this well it was a store for professional painters so there was no sanding in between so I was really happy because I absolutely hate painting and sanding I was doing this paint job and I've used this color a lot it's on our exterior Woodwork and on our cabinet in the cottage on the cabinet's doors of the built-in closet in the cottage and while I was painting I was kind of questioning whether it was exactly the same so we'll do that check with the other parts of the house or other woodwork that I painted so here's a little test that cabinet is is the original f ball and there is one of my doors and I have to be honest it is not the same color it's very similar it's almost the same but look you can tell this has more brown green tones to it see and this is definitely lighter and I would call it flat compared to the original feron ball so what I've learned about feron ball paint is that they use way more pigments to create different pigments to create a color and no other brand well maybe a little green does that as well but I mean a normal brand you would get at the hardware store they just don't do that and this was using the code for Fon ball this has way more depth to me I love the color a lot more this is just flat that's that's the best word I could use for it and I've also held it uh against our exterior woodwork which is the same color but all that being said I still love the color I'm not going to complain this is just for the pantry and it was also a good test because I just wanted to check how big the difference would be and yeah it's it's bigger than I anticipated to be honest much bigger so that's something to consider when I start picking colors for the real kitchen cuz my big kitchen will have these same doors that I really like actually CU they have somewhat of a wood can't really see it in the can't really see it but I love that they're not flat like they're not Le what is that smooth smooth but I may go for the original f ball paint now that I've seen this oh one more thing for those who would say something like uh but how many coats is this this is a primer coat and three coats so I don't think it will have anything to do with the wood underneath and also for those who will say yes but this has been on here for over 2 years and the color has slightly changed I have touched up this area here because the wood was starting to shrink I don't know if that's how you say it so this has many many many touchups all throughout the uh doors here and with the original Fon ball paint that I still had and you don't see that I've touched it up so that is not cuz I know I have so many comments about this and and yes just honor me being a maximizer wanting to this to be exactly as I imagine and you know if I wouldn't have any room to be this picky I probably wouldn't so yeah and I know that there's also people watching that with that would do this the way I do but anyway I still love the color so I'm not complaining so now I'll have to wait until Olaf is done with all the technical stuff before I can start putting my unit together meanwhile I am going on a little trip to the other side of the natural park Lov staying at a really beautiful cabin with friends and going bulant shopping and I have found so many amazing items for my kitchen and pantry and that will be coming up in a next video thank you so much as always for being
