Hallway Makeover (on a budget)! Faux beams, board & batten & decorating from start to finish

We've been experiencing the winter blues lately and struggling to feel creative/motivated to complete projects, but we are so happy with the outcome of this one! In total, we spent around $800 to transform this hallway. Thank you so much for watching!

That looks elegant and homey at the same time. I'm always blown away at yours and other people's creativity. I never would have thought to turn a plain hallway into such a pretty space. Thank you for sharing!

[@debschreiner3600]

That hallway is amazing! You brought such great architectural details to the space. Love, love, love the red oak beams. The lights actually throw of some fabulous patterns now that they're clean. The thrifted art is great. I totally agree with either thrifting or DIYing art because big box has no character. This hall has character. Great job!

[@aspenackley]

Thank you Deb!! ❤️

[@beetee3272]

I enjoy watching your creativity and putting your personal touch on your home.

[@LFetterman7903]

Lovely! Just lovely! Good job! And I like the artwork (on both sides of the hallway)! ☺️

[@christinareents9321]

You both have put your heart into your home and it shows!! So beautiful.!

[@shadegarden7375]

Small projects…for you two! Big for others😃

[@lisavanbeselaere4232]

I love the light fixture. The hallway is amazing.

[@andreacooper3768]

Just found your channel today and thankfully I had the afternoon off so I spent it getting inspired by all of your projects. Keep up the content because you are my new favorite people to watch! 😊

[@sandrafernandez6319]

Wow!!! What a difference!! Love it, thanks for sharing 🤗

[@stephaniestreeter4996]

I love it!! A lot of homes do not have that character through out when they are first built and we have to go and add it. But the good side to this is one can make it their own. To me it feels comfortable and completed, if that makes sense.

[@abyssater9177]

This is perfect! I’ve just got an apartment, and the hallway is this thin. It’s great to see that there are offers for thinner hallways, as most ideas are for thicker ones

[@GilliMarieMoody]

Thank you for being so honest about mental health. I could feel the pain🌬️❤️‍🩹🕊️. Congrats on your hallways. Wish I could go as fast. Cannot wait to try the beams. Cheers.

[@dianac2596]

So beautiful. The beams look gorgeous.excellent results.

[@Mama-Ames]

Gorgeous. Utterly gorgeous. I love ALL of your choices. Fingers crossed the beauty of your finished project (altho Im quite sure was hard work) will light a fire under MY husband... as you made it look so easy & well worth the time, expense & effort. Thank you.🙏

[@justlooking4771]

Great video! That looks so classy and cozy! I definitely need to get a table saw to make things like this easier. Great work!

[@stavrianileonti9108]

[@annabellavender7647]

[@DarrinsDaffs]

SAD is so hard to deal with! I was in my mid 30’s before I was diagnosed and prescribed Lexapro. Lifesaver!!! Y’all are making great use o your indoor time. Pretty soon you’ll get to do your seed starting👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@canadianbacon79]

[@allisonallen5481]

Classic elegance, as always!

[@louisavassiliou6841]

Love the lights😁🇨🇾

[@lionheart6294]

Looks great!

[@JodyForbes]

Greetings from Australia. I really like the flooring. It has excellent utility in relation to what colours and designs it can be matched to. It's interesting the different outlooks as in Australia, we typically would not be looking to make our hallway walls thinner by using batons which are more common for recessing flat screen TV's as a rule. I'm assuming this is a large house but you've done an excellent job and the cost is amazing. I'm currently doing a reno on a small villa in Perth and there is very little change here out of $1000 per day for a tradesman of any kind and that's not including materials. Bathroom tiles can be $100 per square metre.

[@PatB665]

Great Job looks lovely.. 👍

[@Jewels5241]

Gorgeous!!

[@moni13000]

It came out great! And I have to say, even tho I still don’t really like the light fixtures, I do think the look much better after the reno. I think it’s a combination of the fact that there’s no more features to capture your eyes, where as before it was just blank white walls so your eyes are drawn to the lights. But also your thrifted artwork. I think the old/antique look of the art and the frames gives it more of an older, cozier feel. So it helps tie the lights in with the rest of the space. They don’t look out of place. And as long as you like them and are happy with them, that’s really what matters. Cause at the end of the day, you guys are the ones who see them all the time. I had been wondering after the last video why it looked like the wainscoting seemed to extend a bit past the wall on the bottom half and not the top, and it looked off to me. Now I see that you did that knowing you were going to continue it through the hallway. I’m so glad cause my brain was really struggling not to be bothered by it. Lol. But it looks fantastic now that you’ve finished it. Can’t wait for the next reno!

[@dallywilliams6606]

So beautiful 😊

[@jenaimone5912]

❤️❤️❤️. Great job!!!

[@Olivia_kear]

Looks great!!! Love it!

[@aspenackley]

Thank you!!

[@firestar7774]

Stunning

[@norascholey7909]

You guys make this look so easy. What are somethings that could go wrong? What should we watch out for if trying this for the first time? Thanks

[@RooniP]

Looks good!

[@anitagough8117]

Love the look of this well done! Suggestion paint the white door surround the same colour as the door - will anchor the end of the hall a little more - make the door more of a statement.

[@nevisscot7697]

Wowww.very sophisticated

[@andrewdeyoung6780]

Could you please share the dimensions of the MDF you used for the project? Looks great! Thank you.

[@flynryder9998]

So pretty x

[@welldonewit5129]

I always want to do a wallpaper space but always chicken out and paint!😂 Idk why 😂 Maybe live that life by redoing a wall in the treehouse?

[@jorgevillacis8127]

WOW WHAT A HOOOOOORRRIBLE THING !!!

[@erikahidalgo8596]

Hi Sabrina thanks for sharing I love it! Where did you get your light fixture ? Thanks In advance

[@rodneycabana5457]

looks beautiful, did you decide not to replace the baseboards you took off, would it be too much, looks great the way it is....and love the beams.

[@ilonaxxx20]

Awesome!

[@susansmeltzley2418]

Is the baseboard a 6” With the battons being 4”?

[@joep6023]

What is that flooring? I love it! I want to put it in my kitchen

[@astatine0085]

Wow!

[@BiggCope]

What’s the height of the top of the board and batten?

[@k1l2z3d4]

I absolutely love this . Why don't you have a notification button? I don't want to miss any new videos

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Ohhhh that light is EVERYTHING! If you decide to change it… please reach out to me!

[@TVStephanieSandoval]

Just found you through Pinterest! Love your creativity and this hall transformation! can you share how tall your ceilings are? Off to follow you on social!

[@MariaGonzalez-ei1pv]

What type n size of nails you guys use? Great work..I have a gun for mouldings nails not sure if I can use it...I'm new to DIY

[@alixnewbury4372]

Hi. This look great. Wondering how you spread the panels out along each section. Obviously each section is not the same length so how do you decide how far apart to do them?

[@katherinelarge8239]

I'm wondering this too. Any answer on this?

[@jemimacallaghan7438]

I love those Shrek Shoes!

[@tislam1786]

Nice ❤

[@debbiewilson9712]

The doggos sure didn't help much. Sheesh. 🐶❤️❤️

[@susansmeltzley2418]

Thank you, I did my front room with information from your site.

[@aspenackley]

Glad it helped!

[@Rachel_Collins]

This looks amazing quick q about the beams do brad nails hold them up well? I’d be worried about them falling!

[@aspenackley]

They are really light weight! I'll update if they come crashing down but its standard practice for beams this small!

[@andrealynnx93]

Can you kindly list what size boards you used?

[@royjohnson9043]

do you have to remove the baseboard or can you do it on top?

[@Audrey-km9in]

Bravo!

[@sandygraham3572]

I love to watch people thrifting on KZbin if that’s something you want to vlog it might be popular as well !😃 I just found your channel.

[@goodladgunn3931]

nice work

[@michelepierce4454]

Long hallways scare me I guess movie's lol but that is wonderful 👍😊

[@sHigs98]

How did you do the corners?

[@alice4217]

What paint colors did you use?

[@warmblood58]

were your walls allready perfectly smooth and not textured or did you use 1/8 hardboard first? Thank you!

[@aspenackley]

They were already smooth thankfully!!

[@lorribeacandlessoaps2780]

What colour did you paint the colours you used

[@andielliott7721]

Ha ha...you only have ONE dog helping you. I have four rescues that "help" me! VERY NICE!
