I would love to see this Reno revisited in the winter or fall to see how it changes with more coats and winter boots. I like the idea of revisiting renos to see if they are actually practical long term.

@susanma4899 2 года назад

Re the labels on the baskets--since yours are round you could hang a label on each basket and then turn the basket so the label's out of sight. Then when you're reaching up, just turn the basket around again to read the label. :)

@Alexandra-jj2qh 2 года назад

Alexandra, instead of placing a bumper on your shoe cabinet try this alternative. There is a type of stop that goes on the top hinge of your door with a rubber end that will stop at the wall. It is adjustable in how far it will project out. I just fitted one on a coat closet door to prevent it hitting a new piece of furniture. I purchased mine at Home Dep.

@CK1000ism 2 года назад

The only downside of this is if you need the door to swing open a little wider sometimes to move something bulky into it. Unless it is as easy as just moving the shoe cabinet, I would do the bumper on the shoe cabinet.

Mirrors are aways so game changing in a space!!! Love that the shoe cabinet fits like a glove behind the door Sara Nena DIY

@nikkifa 2 года назад

Love the result! Except maybe a little more attention to detail with the tiles? It's an old apartment and the tiles would've looked great with an older style/ classic pattern in them, or a border or feature tile. It would have made more sense near the staircase imo. All black makes it look a bit like the floor in a public area, as much as i love black. Still love your work though x

@flamingoliz 2 года назад

Penny tile is a classic old tile style. But I agree that it would have been nice to have a tile border in a classic Victorian house, like an homage to what would have originally been there.

@covenof2 2 года назад

Lottie has gotten so big! So cute!! Lol, the “bag of bags” is something we do too. Actually makes shopping trips more convenient cuz we can grab them all at once! (Four person family with three different diets.) We separate into insulated & non-insulated - 1. Because they fit better that way, & 2. It means we don’t take the insulated bags on trips that won’t need them 😊

@TamarLitvot 2 года назад

All our reusable bags are in the trunks of our cars because that's how we get to the stores. But we're moving to be within walking distance of a grocery and other stores, so we'll likely have "bag of bags" also.

@sandrah4358 2 года назад

You could put another shelf at the top, and attach a railed ladder to the wall for top shelf access. Very nice, I think this is my favorite project so far.

While I love the crane print I think having the pop of color in the stained glass truly highlights the window.

@ericaquint1895 2 года назад

I’m so glad to see that black tile in “real life” because I’ve had my eye on it for a few weeks at Home Depot. If I had one suggestion, it would be to change up the type of art you use. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m just kinda over framed prints. Lately, I’ve been focusing on a variety of different artwork (canvas, watercolor, vintage, etc)

@sashagoodall 2 года назад

Even some thrifted pieces..... I love thrifting oil prints of the beach, scenic Aussie natives like gum trees, flowers etc..

I am too. I get it, you can get prints on Etsy for cheap. Art is such an opportunity for texture. Thrift some oil paintings, have a friend do a hand drawn sketch of something you love, etc.

@pw4075 2 года назад

Beautiful, welcoming, functional ... huge impact for such a small space. I love the color on the shoe cabinet. My only disappointment was how the penny tiles were laid but with all the gorgeous baskets and eye-catching art to draw the eye up, who will notice that they're misaligned? Seriously, I would reconsider hiring him for your next tile job; not a professional job at all.

@alenac.3934 2 года назад

I agree, I hate when penny tiles are installed and you can identify every single sheet (of the mosaic). The lines should be invisible.

@edwardwilliams2438 2 года назад

Alexandra seems to be happy with the end results...so your critical remarks seems abit harsh. Give Gabe a bit of appreciation..considering he was most likely very affordable for the remake???Be positive or behave!

@pw4075 2 года назад

@@edwardwilliams2438 Sorry you found some constructive criticism negative. I positively think the tile work was not worth whatever it may have cost. It detracts from the makeover which otherwise was "beautiful, welcoming, functional ... huge impact on such a small space."

@maria.pkm2 2 года назад

The tile option is cute but it reminds me of a bathroom, that's probably just me! The application however is horrid, not your fault at all of course. It's misaligned, crooked and it looks bubbly? Not sure how to say this properly but it looks like it wasn't pressed on hard enough?? There's air trapped underneath or something. The outside lines are not clean and smooth as they should be and I'm not even that knowledgable on this, it just looks off and kinda sloppy which is a shame. However when everything comes together it doesn't draw as much attention so ultimately as long as you guys are happy that's enough. Loved all the little details and changes! Can't wait for the kitchen reno :)

I'm so excited to see more items/walls painted in pigeon! My daughter's nursery is in Farrow & Ball's pigeon shade and I love it, and am trying to find other areas where it might look good too. One thing about F&B colors I've noticed is that they look almost totally different depending on the time of day & lighting. Honestly the way it looks in this video I can barely tell it's the same color. Mine looks like sage green!!

@lisamartin704 2 года назад

The space looks clean and welcoming. It is so pleasant to feel refreshed rather than overwhelmed by clutter at your front door. I would absolutely invest in a Welcome mat as it will keep your stairs and carpet much cleaner and keep people from bringing dirt and mud into the house. I think organizing the entryway area by how often items are used is a solid strategy. Since I ride almost every day, my unsightly bike helmet is out on the rack. Also, I love the idea of under bed storage boxes or other storage for things that are out of season. I actually use a a pretty trunk for this at the foot of my bed. It doubles as a bench and it works for me! I do not love the under bed boxes on top of your storage cabinets in the bedroom. It would be be be nice to see maybe a basket or two or some plant life up there instead.

@maryiorio426 2 года назад

Overall, I’m loving what you’ve done with your entry. I really want your entry for my house! I loved the way the original green looked on the shoe cabinet, along with its contrast to the brown wood. So, I was bummed you changed the color and still kept the brown wood topper. But it works and the color makes a lot more sense as a color to repeat throughout your house. Love the idea from another viewer here in the comments to connect the bumper to the top of your door instead of sticking it on your shoe cabinet. Also, now I am really interested in shopping at Desenio! Never heard of it before.
