Small Entryway Makeover with IKEA hack for TONS of hallway storage! | The DIY Mommy

[@thediymommy]

Thanks for all the love on this project! (I apologize for the audio mistake around 3:00 that I didn't catch in editing! 😭 In that part, I was explaining that you can attach the cabinets to wall studs.) FAQ: How wide is your hallway? 42" Why don't you put storage under your stairs? Our basement stairs are there. Why don't you keep your shoes in your rooms? Where I live, we take our shoes off at the door because they get incredibly snowy and/or dirty. Where are your overalls from? Rosie's Workwear

[@ilovenoodles7483]

Girl, you did great! I just found your channel, but how did you do all this? Did you learn it, like were you taught or is it just natural talent?? Honestly, I want to know. I like this kind of stuff, but I don't know how to do it, don't know how to use tools, or what kind of tools are required, etc. I'm a single gal, no plans on marrying so I have to do it on mu own.

[@xglsc6465]

I have to ask, and I mean no insult ... um... why are all those adult shoes there? Why aren't the shoes in the individual bedrooms where you get dressed? When you come home from work and change, do you carry your shoes down and store them there? When the kids get home from school same question? Great place for hats gloves mittens scarves folding umbrellas so the bins are a great idea, AND your board and batten looks beautiful, job done very well.

[@ilovenoodles7483]

@@xglsc6465 I think it's just because maybe you don't wear shoes in the house and then on the way out of the door you put your shoes on.

The DIY Mommy could u tell me the paint color on the wall? Ty

[@AnijaPaul]

Loved this so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lovemybabiesforever]

Girl, That was a hell of a transformation! The idea alone was so outside of the box. It is chic, cute, organized and looks really efficient. You did a lot of sweat equity just in that small space and I absolutely love it! That is no longer a messy space in your home but one that you can now be proud of that goes with the rest of your home. Congrats! Thanks for sharing.

[@thediymommy]

Thanks so much!

[@agbabon]

@@thediymommy She said everything I wanted to say! Except for one thing....CAN YOU MOVE IN???!!! From your name, I'm assuming you have children? No problem, as long as it's under 5! When can you start??? (Is there a begging emoji?) 🥴

[@MonK3yzUnkL]

Really appreciate how you went over the mistakes too and how you solved them.

[@annetteanderson3375]

For the adult shoes, I sometimes face the left and right shoe in opposite directions...if that makes sense. It amazingly creates more room and you can fit more together.

[@thediymommy]

Great idea!

[@ServeGod33]

I do the same with ours. I love IKEA shoe storage cabinets! They are a life safer for our family and entry way!

[@janinebonser9933]

My daughter taught me this trick. One shoe facing you and the other facing the opposite direction. Works brilliantly. Also to line the cupboard with nonslip so it doesn't scratch the cupboard surface and the shoes stay put!

[@brindydworshak4523]

Annette Anderson I do the same with ours. It’s amazing how many pairs of shoes will fit in theses shoe cabinets!

[@imperialthreat]

I went to college in BC and feeling like I haven’t heard someone say “toque” (spelling) in 25 years! Oh so endearing! I nearly cried! As if I needed another reason to love your channel the Canada reminders is so heart warming!🥰

[@rosemariejulian6824]

Beautiful. Not normally a fan of IKEA however this is functional and beautiful. Awesome job.

[@KatherineTheGr8t]

Ditto

[@xIsadutch]

DIY? This is just professionals work, so so beautiful ✨

[@OldWorldHome]

Christina! This is seriously one of my favorites you’ve ever done, the marriage of function and form is so gorgeous and inspiring. I can only imagine your family’s joy as you use this well thought out space daily ✨

[@thediymommy]

Thank you so much, Hilary!

[@Sunnyat189]

Having watched loads of diy shoe storage units, this has to be the most cleanest and modern looking one I've seen on youtube. Great idea and beautifully done!

[@heidimccarthy-deak3600]

Such joy as she sings here and so brave she’s not trying to control anything, but just see where it needed to go. That takes balls. ❤

[@rileyoftheweak8310]

Make over for the shoes is awesome!! I like taking shoe off when any one walks in home. This great ideal.

[@thediymommy]

We always have taken them off and I think it's pretty typical here in the prairie provinces but not as much in other places! Thanks for watching :)

[@Tilly56]

You did a wonderful job, Christina. There is so much storage in such a small space and everything is so neat and tidy now.

[@rabczanska]

I took my children's art that I really loved and framed them in IKEA white frames, different sizes. Mixed them in with a few other pieces of art in white frames for a wall of bright art that did not look cluttered due to using simple white frames.

[@clincg]

I came here to see how to attach the shoe cabinet to the wall, you done showed me a whole other realm of renovation! I love it!

[@diannaprescott8257]

Wow! That is incredible! Now I see why it took so long to accomplish this beautiful transformation to your entryway/hallway. Your family must be so proud of you! Like another comment said below, thanks for showing us your mistakes and how you solved them - that will really help if I should ever try something like this. Ha!! like that will ever happen!!! You did a REALLY fantastic job!

[@Bonafidevixen10032]

Hi Christina, I'm a new subbie from Australia. I LOVE this DIY. I'm slowly binge watching all your videos now. I love your aesthetics and I love ESPECIALLY how you finish your diy projects. It elevates your work so much and makes it look less diy. Filler and caulking is also my best friend. I never knew how much these details matter in the overall look of your house until I did my renovation upstairs. I totally appreciate your work! So glad I found your channel!!

[@beckybryant9891]

That looks absolutely great!!!! I wonder how many times you stand and admire that yourself. I sure would, it's so satisfying to make over something problematic and really make it look great like you did!

[@user-ur1wg4xq2h]

What a beautiful improvement! Wow - it looks like that Ikea cabinet was custom built for your space - Perfect! - Cynthia

[@TheMelrose1961]

Wow.. such a terrific apartment..What a great idea for the entryway!!! So impressive!!!Somehow you managed to make this area look larger!!! Just love it

[@thediymommy]

Thanks so much!

[@ldang918]

Wow mama WOW! You deserve a vacay. I love a mama that knows her tools! 😘

[@PamelaDFrank]

The music is a little load in spots, made it hard to hear you.

[@thediymommy]

Yes, my apologies. It was an audio mistake :(

[@nas19281]

KZbin mums always seem to make their husband do the handy work, I love seeing you do this all yourself!!!!

[@susanbennett5636]

After reading all of the messages and comments I have decided that we are going to become the shoes off household again, and build one of those in our entry way also. Your idea is very inspirational. Thanks for all the other hints ladies and gents

[@ladyjm8571]

OMG! I'm watching third of your videos, and you are one of a fiew women in diy home decoration/organisation (home makeover who actually showing what to do and how it is done. Every girl I've watched make most of the video by talking, and showing only effects. You are an exception! It is so helpful to watch the making proccess with the description. BRAVO!

[@thediymommy]

Thanks so much!

[@brendadalponte7845]

Looks great! The IKEA shoe racks looks like a high end console, need an IKEA trip!

[@loniluvsyou271]

Absolutely love the built in feel of the board and batten. So many small details that resulted in such a high end finish 👏

[@SR-qg7hw]

You’re a bit more than a diy-er, this is literally ingenious!

[@mariearroyo8558]

This gives me inspiration and encouragement that the cluttered spaces in my house have HOPE! Really loved this video!!!

[@priscillafuller8685]

I’ve been looking through countless amounts of KZbin videos and Pinterest pictures and finally found what I’d like to do with my entry way! Thank you for sharing!

[@leangels8888]

Can you please come and transform our hallway? Gosh, I love everything about this! It made such a big difference.

[@denisethrondsen3399]

Wow, this turned out so beautiful and serene! You’re so right, we can never have enough storage! You always amaze me with your talent, hard work and ideas! Just fabulous!🌺🌺🌺

[@vickinoeske1711]

Oh my goodness, this makeover is spectacular! Magazine ready. Beautiful! Love the large mirror.

[@JoRiver11]

That's one of the best makeovers I've ever seen. Canadian DIY mom high five!

[@thediymommy]

Thanks so much ✋

[@FurnitureFan]

Seconded, I've just subscribed, so many great ideas.

[@Beruthiel45]

That is one extremely well-done job! From an Edmontonian great-grandma, kudos for solving your storage issue in such an imaginative way. Our house had a coat closet 15 feet from the front door halfway to the garage entrance, so we hired someone who cut out an opening and built a closet into the sidewall of the house, into the garage, which helped because the standing coat rack kept falling over and no space for shoes. 😉 Now our son uses that closet, I use the one halfway round the house, and my husband uses the one by the garage door. Ours is a four-bedroom two story house but no entry hall, opens straight into the living room, which design I think is absolutely crazy in Canada with our climate. English houses are mostly built with entries or halls which can be closed off to keep out the drafts. Ignore the critics. You did good! 😊👍

[@thediymommy]

Thanks so much!

[@gingerhitzke9185]

YOU’RE AMAZING! It’s so hard to find women who do construction work on KZbin and it’s so great to see a woman doing the work. It’s so inspiring! Thank you!!

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@cynthiarobles819]

It turned out gorgeous! Like how you talk us through everything.

[@kimbwf629]

Now THAT’S a transformation! Looks amazing and will serve you well. Love the style! Closet is great too, don’t forget the inside of the door can be used too. Tfs. Awesome! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Nivimary]

Wow, the built-in part looks SO good!!

[@karenmacneilhartmann8803]

Well done! You obviously know what you are doing! I liked that you painted the Ikea furniture so that it looked like built in custom cabinetry!

[@vickyyingling2252]

Absolutely love what you did in your entryway. It looks like the cabinets are custom made. Major transformation!

[@sarasabus9859]

We recently bought our new home and we have a narrow entryway. I wanted to do something like this. Love how yours turned out. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@shikhasharma-nn9we]

OMG you are so so hard working and so inspiring, everything looks awesome

[@jenyhomestuff]

Love it 🥰. Also you can add a regular shoe holder that goes on the door and fill the pockets with winter hat, gloves, scarfs, umbrellas, etc 😉

[@thediymommy]

Great idea!

[@lhasaapso3360]

Great job!!! There comes a time when you just get tired of the clutter. No limits to what can be done with a little creativity. ❤

[@Simphome]

who would have thought the result would be that good? honestly I didn't expect it. this is amazing and creative improvisation.

[@jenniferdorgan4886]

It turned out so good! I love it! So much character added, all with function in mind. Brilliant!

[@ElmaRamaKukaj]

She says small entry room, I say decent NYC apartment 😂

[@angelaj8958]

so nice to make the last thing you see when you leave, and the first thing you come home to, to be so calm and collected

[@a.andreson9876]

This is absolutely amazing! We just bought a home that has a very long 24 Foot semi-narrow Entryway on the Main level when you walk in the front door and this is EXACTLY what I need! Thank you so much for sharing this. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@helenmoore8743]

I love how this turned out. I've been hooked on Board and Batten ever since I saw Hillary on "Old World Home" do her dining area. I just need to get a few power tools and I'm in business.

[@elizabethbruner2908]

I need this makeover in my entry way. I’ve been contemplating the same shoe cabinets and this video has sold me on them. Great job!

[@jenngzz11]

I could never come up with something so gorgeous

This entry makeover is awesome! It is also refreshing to see REAL people. Thanks for sharing :D

I'm in ahww you did amazing honey. I can't believe how much work you did. Your hallway looks incredible. Great job 👍 👍👍 👍👍👍 👍👍 👍👍

[@kjanda84]

Breathtaking! I noticed you kind of pressed on the little art frames to the wall. Could you share the method? Maybe do a little tutorial on different ways to hang your art? Love your style!

[@thediymommy]

Thank you! I used Command picture hanging strips!

[@nclflorals]

You have great taste and great skills. It’s beautiful, bravo!

[@suzanneg6302]

I wanted an Ikea shoe cabinet hack that was pretty and practical. You have inspired me to finally take the plunge!

[@travis7904]

A very time consuming and laborious job for sure, but the transformation/result is amazing and well worth the effort. Congrats and thank you for sharing. God bless!

[@Gingersnp13]

That is absolutely stunning! I feel your pain on the how sometimes we run into snags when doing DIYs in the home but what an accomplishment once you find solutions. This project inspires me to tackle MY own front entrance. Thank you for the great content. Love your channel! ❤️ 👍🏼

[@thediymommy]

Thanks so much! 💜

I know this video is 3 yrs old but I am a first time viewer & now a subscriber. It looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to watch more of your DIY videos.

[@VICTORIA-tx1nh]

Try hanging a shoe pocket bag on the inside of that hall closet door. You can use it for hats, gloves, scarves and 👠

[@dapho6287]

Good idea! I have been storing our hats and gloves in a bag, hanging in my closet 😂 Thank you!

[@VICTORIA-tx1nh]

👍🏾

[@andreapaola5435]

Great idea!

[@TeviaRocks]

These are also great for cleaning stuff!

[@gailremp3628]

I actually use that closet with the hanging shoe thing for my actual shoes. Otherwise I kick them off and they stay wherever they are kicked off. And it really works.

[@deirdresheridan8223]

She’s really talented. Loved the makeover!

[@HuskyMama1009]

Very clever--- always love women who know how to use tools! (I love my sawzall). Great storage solution

[@tay5673]

So pretty! For the artwork-it will look cleaner/more tidy if you tack down all four corners! ☺️

[@jenniferstark360]

Small is relative...Most people would say my entry is large, but with 4 teenagers and 3 grown adults in my house...it's small! I love this project. The hall is a tight squeeze for dealing with kids and their messes. LOVE it!

Thanks Jennifer!
