EXTREME SMALL ENTRYWAY MAKEOVER | DIY COPPER CEILINGS | Elysia English

#dopemine #entrywaymakeover #homemakeover #elysiaenglish This late 1899 abandoned home is so worth saving. With every renovation project & DIY I am so thankful we are putting in the time to salvage this house. We are making it a home now. When tackling this 124 year old home entryway makeover we knew there would have to be some design elements to bring our vision to like such as adding storage ideas, thrifting for decor and salvage building materials to spend as little money as possible bringing it all together. The one wall is missing all of the original tin :( during this series I get creative on how to cover the space making it look intentional and meant to be and not just a cover up. My plan is to save the tin throughout the small and large section of the front hall keeping the original integrity of the home. We built a diy upholstered bench with thrifted fabric, made a salvaged wood shelf and more! This episode I restore the original tin ceilings with copper paint!

Your parents are so sweet and encouraging. I wasn't a fan of the gold paint. But I thought the copper would work. I'm sure I have seen tin ceilings that are copper colored. Now your ceiling matches your hat and your couch and your horses. 👍👍👍 I love it.

[@vickiecrouch6041]

I think its Phil's parents.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Matches the HORSES!!! 😂😂 Oh boy, you must be a longtime subscriber to Elysia because you know EXACTLY how to give her the compliment she will love! lol 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sallygreiner5724]

I didn't realize that. They seem sweet and encouraging. @@vickiecrouch6041

That glowing coppery color is just fabulous! The ceiling looks timeless, it will never go out of style. Its really beautiful Elysia. You guys hit it out of the park this time.

[@ssoley2097]

The copper looks so elegant. So rich. Authentic. Like it should be there. Happy coincidence. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@elckefahwehinmi1466]

I dont like it at all

[@user-lv4kp8gt2d]

It's lovely.

[@tinatippin5705]

Well, this really might be the coolest makeover yet. That copper ceiling looks brand new and stunning. Well done!

[@phyllisgrossetti4511]

WOW, WOW, WOW ! I absolutely love it. It's a stunning addition to the entryway. Great job Elysia 🤟

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@phyllisgrossetti4511]

You should add it in the hallway as well.

[@lindar4648]

That copper ceiling is absolutely stunning. That color works perfect with your house. I think it’s a way better choice than the gold! Great job!!!!!

[@glennamanos7384]

This is absolutely gorgeous. Small spaces always need a piece of jewelry. And boy this one is the crown jewel ❤️😍

[@krislange1186]

When you first showed the gold paint, my reaction was "oh no!". When you showed the copper paint, my reaction was "oh yes"! It turned out better than I expected!! Beautiful!! I've seen you get excited about a lot of things, but you're just "glowing" with this project. This house has been a lot of work so far but also a BLESSING. Many of us have been with you since you pulled into the driveway and always can't wait for the next episode. THANK YOU from those of us who need an extra "push" to work on our own homes. Your family is such an inspiration.

[@caroljollymore7345]

I agree I commented similarly Carol in Halifax

[@jeannegoodness6067]

I absolutely love the copper color ceiling! Your happiness is contagious! You have done so much to bring that house to life again.

[@kathrynmauro8673]

The copper picks up the wood hues from your shelf. Beautiful! Wouldn't it be crazy to have each of the owners of your home come and see the love that you are putting in their former home? Especially the first homeowner. ❤️❤️

[@dianecamper1816]

The ceiling looks absolutely amazing! Great job!

[@user-zz4fp3vl1r]

When you suggested painting the ceiling gold I wasn’t excited about it. When you said copper my heart screamed yes!!!

[@margaretmarks6685]

The ceiling looks great! A much better choice than the gold and goes better with the bench fabric and the other colors. 👏👏👏

[@meaquindinho541]

Brava!!!! There aren't enough adjectives to do this ceiling justice. Seriously, BRAVA !!!!! French kiss.

[@elizabethmacdonald4605]

When you said gold for the ceiling, my heart dropped. The copper looks exquisite! Wonderful decision! Love it!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@angelgirl8544]

OMG. I cannot say how amazing that ceiling looks. Well done Elysia and Phil

[@madzabinga8382]

The white really dulled the beautiful details of the tin. The copper just brought it to life! Don't be afraid to use that same copper color in other areas of the house. It suits your home much more naturally than the gold.

[@jenhutton5038]

Can I just say, Canadian people just seem like the nicest, most fun loving people! I love them!!

[@ceciliajacobs5346]

I was worried that it might look GAUDY, but, it looks FANTABLOUS!!!!!!!

[@tammystoddard2830]

That crisp paint line is one of the best feelings ever 😂. It looks amazing!

[@mainerstoo]

Love the ceiling. So glad you went with the copper. Your in-laws are so awesome.

[@joandavis676]

I was blown away by how stunning this ceiling looks! The details that paint brought out is like magical. Can't wait to see the finished space! I envision your family living in this house for the next 100+ years!

[@ginacapecchi]

It’s gorgeous!!!! I’m so glad you did the copper. Also loved seeing Mum and Dad’s reactions! Total win with this DIY! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@TheCindyhoashi]

The ceiling looks like it was meant to be copper! Amazing! The details pop now!

[@sabriciastrandhagen7099]

The Copper is gorgeous! The tin tiles are absolutely beautiful! 😊

[@lesliejackson8188]

*Copper on the ceiling was absolutely the right choice. Thank you for your bravery to follow through with your creative conviction; 1,000% yes‼️👌👍🏼😉*

[@dhunters5]

Simply stunning!! I love that you are brave enough to follow your creative side!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

[@diamondfire42]

The copper is AMAZING!!! I think the front door would look great in a shiny metallic or a shiny cast iron look!!!

[@erindixon2877]

What a excellent choice with the copper! It looks beautiful and elegant!

[@luannbaker8508]

The copper ceiling looks so rich!!! Stunning! You really can see all the beautiful details in the tin now. Seeing this, I'd be tempted to do all the tin ceilings in the house this color. It's also great to see you so excited about it! Well done!

[@janicesnapp2850]

[@richardthessen9790]

Your ceiling looks so happy you made her beautiful again.

[@sharonsomers5513]

I love the copper ceiling. Looks great with your colors you use in your house. The horses are so beautiful and getting big. 🐎

[@irmayorke9075]

Looks absolutely amazing!!!! You knocked it out of the park gir!! It really makes the design in the ceiling stand out so nice.

[@cassiejenn]

What I loved about this the most! Your shock, surprise and obvious excitement at how it looked and turned out! I love how it feels when things are even better than we expect! It's very pretty

[@marmstrong393]

The bit of doubt I had has turned around to 100% total loving it! Great Job! Amazing you both are!

[@paulamiller3878]

That ceiling is gorgeous... so glad you couldn't find the gold spray paint. That copper is the BOMB!

[@rosedouglas9586]

The copper ceiling is my favorite part of the entryway!!! Way to be brave and creative!! ❤

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thank you! 🤗

[@susieposson7814]

I have been married to a man (48yrs) just like Phil, who is so willing to let me 'experiment'...love watching you guys..keep up the creative work!!

[@Nausome_nana]

I love the colour and the detail of the tin ceiling. You did a great job taping and spray painting. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@tanyapayzant5261]

Ok so I panicked a bit when you showed the gold. But the copper is so amazing!!! Love love love it!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

I like the copper much better than the gold would have been.

[@cristinaflores2411]

Oh my... The ceiling is fabulous! All the beautiful details are visible... What an amazing idea to change from white to bronze.

[@kathleenchang9206]

I know you love your gold but the copper is awesome!!!

[@mariaprats6245]

When you showed the cooper can I said to myself, Elysia don't do it, but when you show the finish product wow I love love it, you are a genius.

[@kristamorehead-mcnutt1714]

Love it, reminds me of all the old homes that have gilded ceilings. Well done, just please watch you head!! Someone send this woman a hard hat for future endeavors!!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

sorry I hit thumbs down by mistake in case you get that notification lol thanks for cheering me on!

[@judystophel1904]

I am not a copper person, but that is gorgeous!!! The light blue would have looked good too. This is enchanting. Great job!

[@janiceswann1474]

I love it! I am from Georgia and down here those old tin ceiling are in house of that size which were usually large farms, horse ranches, cattle farms and there were in silver, gold, copper, bronze, brass and pewter. So you are totally correct and which one you chose and it perfect for the horse farm/ranch homestead beauty you guys are creating. Keep going you guys🪿🐴🐥🐔🐎❣️

[@Nanasews4]

The ceiling is awesome. Copper blends in with all the wood tones and leather items you have. So much better than Gold. Great job.

[@syringaj4964]

That ceiling look absolutely fabulous!

[@patriciahamel5674]

I love the way this turned out!! It looks absolutely stunning! An idea: Instead of eventually putting a light on the ceiling, why not use wall sconces in that area? The light will reflect off of the metallic ceiling and make it nice and bright, and you won’t have to worry about putting any holes in the ceiling. You could put one in each corner and could still use the battery powered bulbs, so that you don’t have to deal with electrical stuff.

[@sharonmaresh]

I love, love, love the copper ceiling! ❤ Don't ruin the ceiling with an over head light. How about some kind of lamp instead, floor lamp, shelf lamp maybe.

[@jahnkecy]

One word - Gorgeous !!!!!! Okay, another word - Brilliant !!!!!

[@lcatt6940]

Absolutely amazing!!

[@moostevens3562]

The copper really pops the ceiling. What a great idea x 🌸🌺🌸

[@mechelerose8151]

The copper ceiling is fabulous ❤

[@msbjpenny]

I love anything done in copper. The ceiling is so beautiful. You should tweek different things throughout the house in copper to pull everything together. Just little things with that copper color.

[@jemma50]

The ceiling looks awesome! I'm so glad you couldn't get the shiny gold paint, as I think it would have looked kind of cheap. But the copper looks perfect, and very classy. Love it! Really great choice, Elysia! ♥♥3

[@thejenny6052]

The Captain is dancing in his grave with pure excitement over that beautiful ceiling. New accent color unlocked to use in the house❤

[@cindylouwho9348]

Love the copper ceiling! It looks fabulous 😍

[@ChrisBury20]

I think the Copper looks so authentic to the house! It is really Beautiful!

[@cmitchell7347]

Thumbs up for finally using a drop cloth and two thumbs up for the ceiling. Wow! Was wary at the initial mention of gold, given your penchant for it. The copper is very authentic, a 'crowning achievement.' The results could be seen as being both understated, while at the same time, making a bold statement. As someone with a bad neck and severe balance issues, I'd never be found on a ladder or spending all that time looking up. Am impressed by your ability to do that.

[@eileenunrein6970]

So sad you hit your head, buts the frozen fries were a stroke of genius! Copper looks great.

[@karlagriffin6478]

Absolutely stunning, the details in the tin is beautiful. Great job 👏

[@AnneluvsKatz]

Besides your hand built kitchen I think this is my FAV thing you’ve done! Just beautiful!

[@pattyevans2763]

Please don't change it. It is so beautiful!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

wont be changing it. I LOVE IT!

[@sandrasullivan3014]

Copper ceiling...copper horses. Beautiful.

[@lindawatson3356]

Gorgeous, it bought out all the details of the tin. I love it!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thank you so much!

[@Nrsshel2]

The copper ceiling is genius! It looks stunning!!❤❤

[@kathywiszowaty4607]

I'm literally Flippin out at how beautiful that came out it is unbelievable!!!✌️&❤

[@ElysiaEnglish]

me too!! I even surprised myself hahah

[@CherylRote-jx6kj]

The copper was definitely the best choice 💜💜💜

[@jenniferwhite7854]

As soon as you held up the copper, I thought That's it! That's the colour you want up there. You're going to need lots more of that copper paint for the rest of the ceilings!!!

[@caitlyanna]

That looks amazing. I was thinking you may want to consider repainting the curtain rods with that bronze paint as well so they match the ceiling. My mom said to paint the ceiling in the hallway in that color as well. I want to call your ceiling rustic elegance.

[@jenniferhoaglin566]

Great Job You Guys!! Love The Ceiling!🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@suenorton873]

Of course we can't tell how the ceiling looks as it does to y'all, but from my eyes... Stunning!!!
