SMALL ENTRYWAY MAKEOVER *DIY Built In Closet & Storage*

[@MrsMoe72]

I’m terrified of making a bad design choice. So I always appreciate when you are honest about changing your mind about paint colors.

[@lonefox]

Tbh I paint almost every room twice 🤷 Thankfully if you do it yourself, paint isn’t tooooo expensive!

[@starsaint]

I'm convinced I made a mistake with my paint, it's the wrong undertone and sometimes it looks too much like the old coat of paint which I hate. Too yellow. I thought it would not have a yellow undertone to it at all. When I raised this issue with the painters they were nice and we ended up doing the second coat with something similar with much less yellow...but it still looks too warm and yellow most times. I didn't want to irritate my partner so I didn't ask them to repaint, as the painters said they would have to redo the primer and then two coats. What do I do 😢

[@nkk_23]

@@starsaintif it’s not too expensive, just do it. you would rather live in a space you wholly and truly love. it adds to your quality of life and makes everything better.

[@sandramaple4702]

I love this makeover❤

[@starsaint]

@@nkk_23 Thank you! I will follow your advice and see what can be done.

[@creepypapermultipack]

Justin’s tip about the zip ties to hold up the light fixture while re-wiring is literally jaw dropping. My mouth was agape watching that, then I showed my husband and his jaw literally dropped too. This is such an amazing tip. We’ve done quite a few swaps of light fixtures in our house and still have more to go because we’ve been dreading the heaviest ones, and this is absolutely what we’ll be doing from now on. Thank you, Justin!

[@ginacota9724]

That hall tree just makes the whole space! Such a great find

[@SouthernFoodieGal]

The red-painted house would drive me crazy, especially considering how you’re redesigning and painting spaces that depend on natural light dictating final decisions. But, you managing this by adding the green window cover helped me understand color theory better. Bravo!! Beautiful work by both of you. I love how well you work together, too.

[@Planted3691]

I like that Justin told us about the zip tie trick

Exactly 😮& Ditto , 👍 Great to know for safety reasons ... ❤

Will definitely tell my husband about Justin’s trick using a zip lock while installing a lamp.

[@CR-pp3yg]

Seriously. So simple and great, I was like, duh, why didn’t I ever think of that. I looked like an idiot trying to hang a light fixture by myself and bemoaning my lack of a third arm.

[@PinkShips-h9r]

Justin is very knowledgeable and has a great eye for design too - they work together very well.

[@Mandy4610]

The stress I would feel if my neighbours exterior paint had such a big impact on the inside of my house 😫. You Drew, just power through it and find solutions. This space came out amazing.

[@poetryqn]

The quality of light changes EVERYTHING. Getting rid of that 'red' reflection from the neighbor's house made such a huge difference! Now, the colors and textures just dance together like Fred and Ginger - perfect!

[@sandieedward993]

Such a cute comment and so on point ❤

Not sure why I don't see the comment line anymore. I just wanted to comment how beautiful that hallway, landing turned out. And I love brown too, but so glad you changed. It looks awesome.

[@colleenjohnson4116]

Drew, those orange colored flowers that you used in your floral arrangement are named Milkweed. Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on them. The caterpillars are bright green, they start out very tiny and grow to over an inch. They survive by eating the leaves and you will see full grown Monarchs sipping the nectar. They will eventually get raggedy looking as the caterpillars feed on plant and all the blooms will be eaten too. You’ll just cut the plant back and it will grow again for the next batch of Monarch caterpillars. It’s so cool to see the way they make Pupa, it’s pale green with golden spots on it. This is where the larva will reside until it emerges.

[@AnitaSellsProperties]

Love that you display the older flowers. Reminds me of some of the Dutch masters who displayed aging flowers to remind us of the passage of time. Good eye Drew!

[@barbaraspector6689]

I love that, “ the passage of time”. Thank you for that remembrance.

[@BlackDino468]

I'm going to say this, and some people will think this is a "bad" way, but it's said in a good, totally admirable way: I can see how this guy will be in his 50s. Bc he's already half way there. The dog named Winston. I can imagine him walking a similar dog in his middle age years, rocking the metro facial trim and swept hair do, granny core detailed to the nines with a tweed jacket and cap. And the moody, wood paneled house with the gothic touches and moody paint colors. It's cool when you can see someone's vibe through their future decades. You know the saying of how pets reflect their owners? I dont see it with Winston and him now...but if I imagine him older getting toward Granddad years, it ALL makes sense. Hes got an inner fully developed fine-living granddad inside him who is a lover of antiques and all things with architectural character. Big love ❤. I watch someone else on KZbin who is like this, addressing all his comments by explaining he's actuall an old man inside who inherited his grandparents love of old craftsmanship & fine chinawear collections, and i wish these two could meet

[@naomifrakes6474]

Paint color is perfect- don’t change a thing! You continue to raise your own bar with each makeover. This makeover: chef’s kiss!!

[@doanetriggs6254]

Truly, in my opinion, this is one of your finest efforts. It is so welcoming and interesting. Winston definitely has the most sophisticated dog door on the planet!!

[@lonefox]

Thank you so so much!

[@user07-awubt01]

You just know how to create stunning vignettes..i would totally buy a coffee book of just the vignettes in your house

[@lonefox]

Hmmm 🤔 That sounds fun to photograph!!

[@chazluckey]

I would definitely buy one too ❤~Mara

[@OceanLover1188]

I love that you painted the whole thing.. and then changed it. I think that you need to see it done to see if the color works or not... and I love that you admit that it's not what you wanted and just start over and show it instead of pretending that it was all just totally how you planned it. Also that is absolutely WILD that your neighbors house reflects the light so much like that!

[@shelleyplemons1362]

That is unbelievable how the light from your neighbors house completely changes the color!!

[@lonefox]

Right! So rude 😂

[@ritaevans7125]

Ready for a photo of that red house. Amazing that it could make such a difference in the color inside your home.

You and Justin have the most AMAZING FB finds! Love how the closet/cased opening turned out! It looks beautiful and purposeful.

Bravo!

Drew I'm so glad you didn't use that dark color as the hall was dark to begin with. It looks so nice now. I just love your home with all it's little door ways & nooks. Such a beautiful find & you're doing a wonderful job of keeping some of her original beauty. ❤❤

[@lonefox]

Agreed!! Usually we have some hall doors open in real life which lets a lot of light flow into the hallway but it’s just not the same on video If that makes sense!

[@dianerussell2835]

Love the hall tree-vintage walking sticks will look great in addition to umbrellas! Your content is always fun and inspiring.

[@lonefox]

That’s what justin said too!!

[@DFBurgermeister]

Beautiful! And you can call yourself an Interior Designer because you are. You don’t need a degree for it, just talent, which you have in spades. The trick with tinting the window green was genius. It’s using color theory in a functional way.

Halltree is everything! An antique or vintage hat hanging on it would be icing on the cake.

[@lonefox]

Ahhh!! Love that idea

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

Within 3 years, I painted our living room 5 times, including sponge painting that needed to be sanded down before I could repaint. It was the mid-1990's so... I eventually found the right color and left it alone for 20 years till I was ready to sell that house and needed to neutralize. I'm so thankful to see you make your choices then change your mind because it doesn't give you the feeling that you want. I'm now sitting in the living room of my house that I bought last year and still haven't painted because I'm unsure. You reminded me that "It's just paint." So I think I will prime the walls this week and then get a quart of the two shades that I'm debating. Thanks, Drew.

Good eye Justin, that piece is everything! Drew, your home looks so inviting and lux and I love that you have curated so many pieces from FB market and thrifting. I love thrift store shopping and have been doing that for years. It’s so interesting to pull together random things to make an entire vibe. I moved from a beach town to a stone mountain house in the mountains of North Carolina full time - and what fun it has been bringing in the antique-academia look to this old 1949 wood walled house. Bringing in natural elements has always been my thing like gnarly branches, rocks, sphagnum moss, fresh greenery from any cool bush outside! Together, it makes for a nice look and it’s inexpensive, just need the vision! As ever, I so enjoy your content!

[@BelindaM44]

It looks beautiful, Drew. Love seeing more Winston. Justin always does a great job!

[@everausten]

How perfect was that wall mount. The red tones in the rattan lead into the red doors beyond, and the earthy green matches all the earth tones in the other rooms. And its ecclectic French style complements the Spanish style beautifully. It was really a triple reveal because the other rooms have their own glow ups beyond the entry. It showed how much incredible depth, layered charm and excellent taste you bring to your designs. Shout out to Justin rounding out your designs and the craftsmanship involved. And yes, loved the final colour - amazing thinking with the green tint ✨

Drew, you have a gift. Your eye is impeccable. That umbrella stand/coat stand is gorgeous and introduces that little bit of colour you were musing about at the outset. The tones of the green and brass goes so well with the paint colour you chose and it all flows seamlessly with the rest of the house. The little nook with Winston’s door …. So cute. I love little moments like that in a home. It’s been said by many before and I am echoing it now: this house not only deserves but would grace the pages of any interior design magazine.
