EXTREME Small Entryway Makeover

DIY MUDROOM MAKEOVER | BEFORE + AFTER
Today we’re turning an underused mudroom into the custom built-in wet bar of my friends’ dreams! This was my first professional project working with and collaborating with other fabricators to make a vision come to life,, and I cannot wait to share the full reveal with all of you!
I am so grateful to my amazing friends at DAP Products for helping me make this space come to life! I couldn’t have done it without them!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! He’s the real MVP!

[@rodpotts2666]

[@katieallen3927]

So happy to see you and your dad working together again.

[@diyhuntress]

Me too! So many fun projects with him coming up!

[@espnmk]

Wow! in a big way, Small space just pops... Thanks for Sharing Sam.

[@kimpaynter]

That color on the lowers ❤❤❤❤❤ Sam you’ve got this !!! You’re so talented!!! Keep going nothing can stop you now ❤❤❤❤

[@karensmith338]

Lovely job. And dad -daughter day - bonus!

[@dianahenderson]

You have absolutely outdone yourself! that wet bar is breath takingly beautiful...truth be told, I was a bit concerned about staining pine...since that has never gone well for me but it looks good there. Dad as usual had your six and adding the sink is impressive.

[@MakerGray]

Sam I LOVE this! I want a wet bar so bad now! Also, those custom grooves in the stone for the floating shelves were such a great idea. I’m inspired all around! 👏🏼

[@williamellis8993]

That looks fantastic, Sam. You're a great friend. It's also good to see dad again. Bill

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! He’ll be back on the channel again so soon!

[@createful_heart]

I need a friend like Sam! I love this makeover. You did a great job!!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! 🥰

[@ninabooker2904]

Sam, you look so cute in your Carpenters jeans, very practical for our favorite, DIY Huntress. Don’t miss out on Carpenter bib overalls, these were must wear item for girls back when I was in high school, white was most popular color but I must say we were stylin’ . 😎👍 Love all your projects and enjoy when Dad comes along for the ride. Way to go Sam’s Dad ❤

[@naturalgalwilliams]

Beautiful project, Sam! Hello, dad💞❣️

[@mariannerady1137]

Looks really cool! Maybe we get a proper reveal shot of the happy people seeing it next time? Lucky ones to have a handy friend like you 💜

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! They were actually there the entire process so it wasn’t a huge surprise. But, they were so excited about the final product! 💓

[@user-du4wf2ps8q]

You and your dad did a great job.❤

[@z0phi3l]

Looks great Wasn't sure about the wine rack till it was completed, then made sense

[@diyhuntress]

Doesn’t it just tie it all together!? 😍

[@happy2braw]

Spectacular!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@m.maclellan7147]

Fantastic Sam ! Great use of space. Turned out perfectly! Glad Dad was on board.

[@aimsly86]

LOL you’re so real for the jeans commentary 😂❤ they look super practical!

[@LisabethSpencer-Hall-sg6eb]

Hi Sam! Hi Sam's Dad! Love this! I so need to do this!

[@jendzendzel4052]

Sam, you do amazing work! This turned out beautiful 😍 If you want to do your own gallery rail in brass, I can recommend a website. I saw it in a blog, ordered it with fingers crossed 🤞🏼 😂 and it turned out great!! Also, it’s so much cheaper than anyplace else I found. I got three 40” rails for $90 delivered. The website is called Grand Brass Lamp Parts. (i can help with sizing if you need) So amazing! But again, you and your dad did fantastic work! Thanks for the inspiration!! Looking forward to your next project!

[@diyhuntress]

Love this! Thank you so much for the recommendation.

[@LisabethSpencer-Hall-sg6eb]

Nice way to use all the wood! 👍

[@jimmcnett]

Great job. You should be proud of this one.

[@swim921]

Great Job! That looks Siiick!!

[@christiebolden2288]

Wow that is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! You and your Dad make a great team!!!

[@lauris5708]

What a beautiful transformation of a previously unused space. It really does look custom and built-in (I guess because it is!) and it really elevates that simple little corner. Great job!

[@hwym59]

Incredible job. Wish you all the best. You keep me motivated to make stuff.

[@babyjinspire]

This is a masterpiece! Great job, Sam and Dad! 👏👏💯💯🔥🔥

[@spoileddolllife8057]

Absolutely beautiful

[@nonamedroid]

Gorgeous as always ❤🎉

[@darrinlindsey]

When staining pine, you should always start with stain conditioner. It eliminates the blotchy look, the pine causes, with stain.

[@ENCurtis]

This is patently untrue. Thank you for your input.

[@diyhuntress]

They actually lovedddd this look and it wasn’t blotchy at all. 😊

[@darrinlindsey]

@@ENCurtis I bet if you polled all of the woodworkers that you subscribe to, at least 80% will say that pre stain conditioner is "patently" necessary for a non-blotchy product. But, if the customer likes the blotchy product, then you don't need to use it. Pine is made up of approximately 50% early wood and 50% late wood. That cause a soft/hard surface They will not accept stain the same. If the customer doesn't get to see the correct product, how do they know they like the blotchy one better?

[@diyhuntress]

Like I mentioned. The final product wasn’t blotchy and my friends were very happy with the end result. I actually even made them a sample board to choose from before finishing. I’d hope that as a follower of my channel you’d trust me as much as my friends did to deliver a finished, polished product that looks good. Sometimes what works for some projects don’t work for others, and that’s okay too. 💓

[@lindaroyal8161]

It turned out really nice! The rail on the floating shelf is a great touch, looks so good. Nicely done!

[@debbie1857]

Looks really good.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@Goosefang]

Hopefully they put a door stopper on the hinge of the exterior door so it doesn't hit all your hard work!

[@diyhuntress]

They’re definitely taking good care of this one. They’re the coolest. 🥰
