"Ma'am, shh quiet on set" love it! 😂😂

[@lorizielinski227]

That was hysterical 😂😂😂

[@lorizielinski227]

Hello Helen ❤😊

[@HBSVMom]

[@lanareiz9596]

I think a small entry table under the little window would be cute and useful. I love your little house!!!

[@crystalkirkland781]

Hellen❤

[@margaritadiaz3779]

Hi, Helen!😂😂😂 You are doing a great job in your new home. ❤❤❤❤

[@AllisonMcPhail]

Thanks so much! I'm loving the process of making this house our own. 😊

[@marjiemadlena5871]

Loved the “ Ma’m, quiet on the set” 😂. I’m so glad you picked the creamy mushroom paint color. When you scanned over to the dining room, I was saying yes! That color would be perfect. Great job. Hi Helen!

[@personalpandemicstoriesorg4707]

Very nice entryway. I love both the styled and practical looks.

[@debmac2299]

❤😂loved it Helen is a great addition

[@standbyhellyh]

Hi Helen! 👋 Welcome to the family! 😊🥰

[@alee9961]

Perseverance is the word of the day!!! No failures, just changing decisions along the way that the path leads you on. 🫣The final color was the best choice. It ties your spaces together. 🤗Hello Ms. Helen!!🦆

[@rebeccakufeld7121]

I love it! 😃❤ I admire what you get done with two little kids! Such an inspiration for me. I love all the little improvements you do to the home.

[@bobherrmann1510]

I'm pretty OCD and would have spaced the hooks so that the switch plate was centered between them. Your decorating eye and craftsmanship are inspiring!

[@marilyntaylor9698]

Hi, Helen!!! 😂 everything turned out beautifully 🥰

[@susanguyer8146]

Nice! You picked the right color. ❤

[@katherinehoughton3794]

🤣😂 Hey helen!!!! My brain goes a million miles an hour of ideas when watching you create these spaces. I saw the sneak peeks on IG so I knew you didn't stay with the green. Lol but I remembered from when you did the dining room that creamy mushroom color and said out loud when you were painting (as though you could hear me 😅) the color from the dining room!!! Annnnnd then you did. 😂 I love how it turned out! You definitely did NOT fail and worked through all the thought processes. Great job! Can't wait to see the demo of the closet! You're making huge waves in that house! I'm so ready to see more. Also-the sass of "ma'am, shhh, quiet on set!" 😅🤣 ❤ Love it!

[@cantocant2346]

A small space makeover can have so much impact on the feel of a home. Your entryway looks so inviting now.

[@meganzambo2403]

Welcome home Helen!

[@SandraDePascale]

Your patience is admirable.

[@marcydahlheimer5189]

Hello Helen!! It turned out beautiful!!

[@helenaschwartz4402]

I love the thought about working with what you got when you said you don’t have a moody home. I have a similar situation in our house with lots of random design elements we can’t change so it’s been a mindset shift to work with them and still create something beautiful instead of just wishing I could change everything!

[@michelleblanchard9697]

Hi Helen :) I loved this vlog Allison...i really like your decor taste and laughed when you said weren't going to make Maddie have a beige backpack to go with the decor by the door ......:)

[@gaillangford280]

Beautifully done. Allison , I love that you never give up. You. are an amazing mom. Tell your hubby that he also did an amazing job. Have a great day. Can’t wait for your next project.

[@marytl-16]

It looks soooo good!!! Love the gold switchplate!

[@famvalverdepacheco4962]

Hi Hellen! I loved your entryway!

[@erinkinney4792]

P.S. Everything looks so good, Allison. Well done, and Christian, you are a blessing of a husband 👏 🙌!

[@chillibird2511]

The entryway looks nice. Love the colour combination, and they blend well with the picture of Helen and her family. Hi Helen ❤

[@lis3116]

Hello Helen, welcome home!

[@vernacharboneau6691]

"Fail" is first attempt in learning!! Don't forget that, your doing great!!!!

[@shirleyschmidt4842]

Hello Helen. So cute. Good job

[@crystalpowers5648]

Hi Alison! The space looks amazing! This might be in future plans but have you ever thought about putting in a front door with glass? That would definitely add the light you’re looking for😊

[@lisab914]

You have such a talent of making an old tired space into a warm, cozy and modern space without spending alot of money. I have really enjoyed watching how you have taken this outdated house into a warm inviting home for you and your family. Love the new family member "HI HELEN". have a good week.

[@Mollie1113]

I love how it turned out! I’m definitely keeping that color in mind. I understand what you mean by feeling like a failure when you want to redo a wall. I re painted our stairway twice and even had help the second time and I feel guilty wanting to repaint it a third time. I’m letting it be for now though. My next project is our dining room but that won’t be until probably the spring at least. Expecting our first baby in about a month 🥰

[@debbieewen3161]

It looks so nice! You & Christian have done such a great job. Helen adds a sweet touch😊

[@bevalexander5897]

I always used Qtips to get rub-n-buff into crevices. I liked the green but I also liked the taupe color you ended up with. The gold looks great!

[@anniq2678]

Awesome makeover. Thanks for sharing the iterations and trial and error parts. That's how I DIY and I like to see that part too.

[@mrsf5608]

"Quiet on set" just got me 😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@Furs_Feathers77]

I'm obsessed with Oyster Bay. It's a beautiful green that's light but not too light. 🥰

[@dayna6938]

I absolutely love the music you play in your videos! So different than what many other YT'ers play and it's so you! Love the vibe!

[@pamelabell5897]

What ALittle Space Turned Out Amazing Like All The Colors

[@lisaaamoun3520]

This was so motivating. I’m now painting my bathroom ceiling!!! TY!

[@robinkuechle7345]

Wow…you did a great job!

[@SannaAhuruonye]

Looks amazing and also sending greetings to Helen from Finland 😊

[@kaydeebenda5237]

It turned out so good!! It’s so funny how when we think it’s going to be a small quick project that’s when everything goes wrong 😂

[@Karen-hz5ir]

You did a great job. Even though it took a little trial and error to get there. Looks really good. Hi Helen. I hope you love your new home.

[@Megttmn09]

Love the video as always! Hello Helen and family👋 Also love the little demo sneak peak. Excited for the upcoming projects!

[@ritaboskovski1149]

Hey Helen…nice job!

[@marifreese2049]

Hi Helen! I love the entry. Makes me want to do some project in my own entry! We have a horrendous front closet that needs some serious work.

[@kellypruitt2362]

Hi Helen, glad you made it out❤❤

[@AnnasJourneytoaHealthierlife]

I liked the blue better ,but it is your house and you do what you like .otherwise, it turned out so good .😊

[@normajoskenbeamora4747]

ALLISON, THE COLOR MATCH WITH THE FLOOR😊

[@jennasmith8114]

That looks great Allison 👍

[@gbanksky]

Hi, Helen! ❤ the entryway! 😊

[@michelegrueninger7226]

Love it! Eventually maybe put up fun, black and white pics of your girls playing.

[@christinatimney3979]

Welcome home Helen 🦆

[@anthielouca5682]

[@shabbysuse7821]

Turned out beautifully, in the end!

[@cindydean1840]

[@pilar8207]

Hola ❤ Quedo hermoso!!! 😊

[@sallycroft2191]

Entryway looks great. Great choices and perseverance!

[@wideawake6501]

Lovely and hi helen😊. I can never get rub n buff to stick to any surface……i have tried so you done well 😂😂

[@christycausey6223]

Maybe some of those rechargeable light sconces on each side of picture. Give you some added light. Hello Helen.

[@AllisonMcPhail]

Great idea!!

[@HBSVMom]

🦆🤍 Hi Helen! The entry looks beautiful 🫶

[@juststuff9945]

You two are quite a team and the amount you get done with a baby in arms is impressive. Will Rub-and-Buff chip of hooks with use or do you seal it with something?

[@pamelabell5897]

Hi Helen

[@shereehendricks-parker1178]

Hi Helen and kiddos, welcome home❤😊

[@patticake6032]

Hello Helen😂, it looks great Allison

[@michelegrueninger7226]

I think if you hung a faux eucalyptus wreath on the white door, it would polish the entry off. 👍🏻

[@feliciahal850]
