Your front door would look good painted white with the tinted windows 💞

[@donnadrummonds2444]

The length of the planter over the TV is perfect! Also, you can put toilet paper rolls, cut in half then slit horizontally between the curtain grommets to help them positioned evenly.

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

[@chantelraigosa8949]

I love it!!! I’m a sucker for board and batten. Anything craftsman style is my jam. The curtains look great. They give the room a more finished look. I like how the family was involved. Just an idea- you have a very handy husband. Maybe he could build you a custom front door? Just a thought….

[@sherrygonder2577]

I just love the curtains and the color it looks really nice

[@Livingwithangela116]

I love the results! Curtains add another layer of beautifulness to the space. Thanks for sharing❤

[@luella2897]

I'm at the beginning, but, I just had an idea for your front door!! I know you've mentioned that it would be difficult to replace because of the size, SO -- How about making panels of thin "board" with smallish molding around it, like a paneled cabinet door. Just cover over the exisitng windows ( remove the window molding). Oh, I wish I could draw a picture on here. I'm talking like 2 large ( 11/2' x 2') panels with a appropriate sized molding surrounding each. I'm sure Marion could do it! It would instantly update the door! OR ( I'm at the end of the video) use one of your old window frames and add a mirror behind it ( like the one you just hung over the bench) & permanently glue it over the current 3 window( with out their molding). :)

[@margaretwalker7934]

Arika your home make over is absolutely beautiful . You are so blessed to have such a lovely family and home . Thank you so much for sharing.
