TRANSFORMING MY OUTDATED ENTRYWAY! | DIY Front Entry Makeover! *Picture Frame Molding*

[@NguyenPham-vc8vq]

First, that mail slot is adorable! Second, you restored that ledge so well. I vote to keep it since it gives a visual separation from the entry to the living room. You could also add some molding or beadboard to the bottom half to tie it in with the rest of the entry, but ultimately it's your house and you should change it to work for you!

[@lz738]

I hope you keep that half-wall/ledge in the entryway because it is a nice demarcation/separation of the entryway to the living area. Also it's cool retro feature. I would put a plant or two on it, along with a decorative tray to hold mail/keys and a small votive candle holder. Especially now that you rehabbed the wooden top to look so amazing.

[@shellymarie97]

You should definitely keep the half-wall thing by the door. I think you'll miss having that shelf for keys and mail. I also love literally everything you do

[@theacaban]

I absolutely love this makeover! I vote to keep the ledge because it adds some separation without closing off the living room completely. The wood stripping/staining looks so great! 🤩

[@bringitdanielle]

The wall molding is such a subtle yet impactful change. Really makes the space look more sophisticated.

[@fallenbarbieee]

I would definitely keep the little ledge! I think it’s better with some separation/definition between the spaces😊 I’m not done with the video yet, but it’s looking amazing so far!

[@habitationathighaltitude]

Wow, stripping that wood worked so well! It looks brand new!

[@littlepixieme1]

I love when Brian pops in! He's so positive and adorable

[@clayitnow]

Love all you did to transform the hall way to your style. Perfect!

[@MaryAnneAchieng]

Honestly your restoration of that wood is impressive!!!

[@claudiasalgado4007]

Wonderful job Tina! I loved everything you did on this space. Please, please KEEP the ledge!! It helps dividig the entryway from the liviing room. I like how it looks. Please keep it!

[@kendrak6184]

Omg!!! Entryway makeover for the win!! It looks so much better and modern and cozy and just amazing! Picture frame molding *chefs kiss* perfection!! Black door, also perfection!! Your videos are SO INSPIRING!!! Never stop!! Please!! Lol idk what I would do if you stopped making DIY and DIY makeover videos!!!

[@calhounac76]

Small space, huge impact! Love it! ❤

[@kailiu1970]

Everyone gets rid of the little ledge these days and I just love the way you restored it. Personally I think it’s a great way to divide the space and would be a really fun place to paint a little mural. In the end it’s your home and I’m excited to see what you decide!

[@whatlolawants2167]

The wood on the half wall looks fabulous!!! I'm so glad you didn't paint it. Now your entryway is amazing. It's just so inspirational to watch you grow from crafts to building furniture and remodeling a house! You make it look so easy. Bringing to us in a very relatable way. Love watching you .

[@alee9961]

Great makeover. You are turning a house into your home. I vote to keep the entry pony wall. Enjoy your videos. 😃

[@tonyawinters5041]

Oh I think that entryway looks amazing……and I do think you should keep the pony wall, only because it gives you some separation and it gives you an official foyer!!!!!! You are really getting better and better with your DIY’s

[@ElectricalASMR]

Keep the ledge! It's a cute architectural detail that separates the entry wall from the living room. Great job on this make over, looks beautiful!

[@Jj85741]

Okay but can we just talk about how your hair just sits so perfectly when you let it down!

[@soitsmelaura]

I luv the tip about doing a pencil drawing on the trim duh ... entry looks so good

[@l.e.bingham6643]

It turned out amazing as usual and yes keep the pony wall because it adds a degree of separation that’s unique.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖💖💫💯

[@mkfuhrer19]

looks great! I vote to keep the wall. I think the white paint gives that open-ness and the wall gives a bit of definition.

[@rmcgill13]

Keep the divider, it defines the entry way to its own space ! Great job!

[@Intuitivetradingacademy]

Once again Tina you nailed it! Love that you chose black for the door. I say keep the ledge, if you remove it, then you will have hand prints, dust and dirt over time.

[@sabrinawooldridge2748]

You should paint your mail slot atrium white to blend in better with the walls! Right now, it looks random next to the beautiful black door and wooden console table. Great job!

[@ZoeysMusings]

The Speckling on that jar is gorgeous. This is one of my favorite makeovers of yours! You changing up the wall really made a difference. It's airy and inviting. Greta job, Tina! 😌

[@EstelleCreativeDesigns]

The bar keepers trick is wonderful. It turned out beautiful. I love how the top molding piece just fell right in place good going!!! The ledge turned out beautiful and personally I would keep it.

[@goodbyefornow7800]

If you added a door with glass, it could make your entryway even more inviting with all that natural light. Great makeover ,I love you videos and your channel!

[@marianacardoso2655]

KEEP! That restored ledge looks so good and it also gives a separation from the living room.

[@Princessmom9]

I love the whole entryway makeover. I would keep the wall since it defines the entryway from the living space. I'm trying to figure out how to create an entryway in my open concept living room, but I rent so it needs to be renter friendly. You are so creative.

[@opalmoon2256]

Looks amazing n love how the entery ledge turned out...I would keep it...Ur hubby lending a hand in his blue T...👍great team work💕

[@ElliesDonna14]

Love it!!! I vote keep the pony wall. It gives a little separation without blocking anything.

[@lindafogarty2909]

Keep the ledge, it's a great place for plants plus it defines your entryway. The space looks fantastic, congrats on another great project.

[@lindaroyal8161]

It looks really good. I vote keep the 1/2 wall, I like how it separates the entry and a ledge to put a few decor pieces.

[@andressaabg]

I'm in love with that little door for the mail!! So cute and functional. Could you show us what it looks like outside the door? I'm going to get that for my house for sure

[@dedraharvey]

Yes love the idea of it how about painting to blend in with the wall

[@amandabkayb]

What a big difference! It looks so nice!

[@Jj85741]

Love that more and more spaces in your home are even so cute as backgrounds for filming!

[@kcanne9102]

I love this makeover!! You should make the little mail door into a tiny replica of your front door when you replace it! It would be so cute

[@bonniemasterjohn5440]

OMG! Ok, what I love - EVERYTHING!!! The walls, moulding and color, the black door (might be my favorite!), the little console table and mirror, and Brian's blue shirt! I was loving the little wall until you got all finished and now I think it should go. It closes the entry off too much. You did fantastic!!!

[@tequilla773]

Love the simple yet elegant entry way and the ledge is my favorite part

[@josikazmierczak279]

I loved the tablet console and the mirror, all beautiful 😍

[@brendasnow8255]

We had that little mail door in our first house, which was built in 1961. It opened into the hall closet, which was the best and biggest hall closet we’ve ever had. In my nicest house,now, I have NO coat closet. We also had the half wall and ledge and it did demarcate the entrance. I hung plants over it.

[@greenbubbles007]

I agree with you about knocking out that half wall. By taking it down, it will open up the space.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Tina, I love the Picture Frame accent wall. I just added it to our bathroom wall, and it’s so pretty.✨

[@rneustel388]

I think this is absolutely beautiful-the change in wood tone is really nice, and the picture molding adds so much. I love the larger mirror much better, too. I’m going to have to check out your video on making the table. I really love that shape. Really loving the black door and everything else!!

[@telekenniese]

The black accents are everything 😍 I’d love to see what the space looks like without the ledge

[@GauklerinGee]

Keep the ledge, it helps to separate the entry from the living space and still looks open as it's not a full wall and secondly it helps to keep the dirt from outside in the entryway and not flying all over the room.

[@o0o0ll0o0o]

Agree and she can add slats to the top just to make it look more intentional

[@elvimcgregor4728]

I would def keep the half wall. It keeps things confined/defined and won’t spill into your living space

[@WrenMcNally]

I love the mail door!!!! Its a really interesting and quirky thing in your house I dont think you should get rid of it. What I would do is change out the huge molding around it to something very slim and petite and make it look like an actual door. Smaller knob, maybe a rectangle of the same petite molding on the door as well. You could have so much fun with it. Also, you could paint it to look like a letter with a stamp. Another idea if you want to go minimal is get rid of the molding all together, paint it your wall color and again....different knob. Maybe look for something that is from a jewellery box to upcycle so its small enough.

[@Joyfulwaterfall]

Very nice! All of it is great. I really like the hall table with the mirror. The shape is great and adds a lot of interest. I think you should leave the ledge. The wood is beautiful. Thanks for the tips on evening out the wood tones. Another point is that it defines the space without totally closing it off. I personally am a fan of open concept spaces with definition.

[@yzolakitchi]

Wow, it looks stunning. I love the console table and I would totally keep the ledge...but....would love to see you to create a plant wall structure. Not solid, with plenty of gaps to allow light in but something going from the ledge to the ceiling would add to the visual separation and create a wonderful green welcome to the entrance hall and a delightful backdrop for the living room. First thoughts are of something like the Ikea Chilistran hanging planters or you could create a lattice/trellis to affix hanging planters, or a few narrow wooden shelves with holes drilled out for pots to sit in. I'm keeping my fingers crossed ! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos, they are a joy to watch 🙂

[@teresawilliams1201]

It looks amazing! I would keep the ledge!

[@marilynbrown2297]

The round mirror looks best Tina!! It really does!!

[@daymonv3736]

I like the divider too. One suggestion is to replace the top piece of wood with granite. You could choose one that incorporates the black and white into it.

[@tonyascott602]

This looks great! The closet is by far my favorite in the entryway makeover but the picture molding is a nice touch!

[@carolynyoung5844]

As always great job Tina. I think you should keep the wall in the entryway. I personally think it defines the space and keep it separate from the living area.

[@alexiacarpenter9998]

I agree keep the ledge, that bit of separation coming in the house makes a big difference in the over all look of the space.

[@aliciamolloy5948]

Love the black door and mirror looks beautiful. Keep the half wall.

[@KayNymanArt]

Looks so amazing! And I absolutely love the little mail slot, so cute!

[@Iz49]

Hi Tina! I just have to say that it looks amazing. It makes your home look complete. I love all of your project. Thank you for sharing. You have a lovely home. Also, you and your husband are just so adorable. I love it!

[@hollycherry9230]

It's so beautiful transformation and we see you with every project to grow as a diyer and your style is just aaarrrggghhhh amazing I love love love it!!!!!!

[@vanessap386]

Truly stunning! I want that wall, lamp and table!! I like ledge and might consider closet doors. Great job!

[@janelandry6584]

I love what you did. I would keep the ledge. The picture frame molding looks great. I think the mirror would look better with a black frame to tie the door and mudroom together.

[@LK2972]

It looks amazing!!! You did such a great job. Loving the walls and the color. Everything looks so good. 👍

[@massieb]

Idea for the ledge is to put a beautiful marble on top. Stonemasons have heaps of offcuts, especially of beautiful marbles. You can often get them for a good price. Get it cut to size, and sides polished. 👍

[@kellygedeon6181]

Totally keep the ledge! it separates the entry from the room. Plus you can put cute plants on it.

[@erinwhitaker2699]

It turned out so great!!! I love everything. I'd probably leave the ledge for a few years and then take it out when you're ready for a change. It looks good how it is but would look good opened up too!

[@mojoholo9529]

Keep! That half wall is helping keep out some wind, rain, snow and dirt from your room.

[@heidi9569]

Looks great! For the ledge- I would say make it smaller. Demolish all but a foot so that you can have a little ledge for keys or decor. Best of both worlds!

[@nichelebrownlee1471]

Love it. The black door looks so good and the wood on the half wall turned out gorgeous.

[@holdtohope]

Awesome makeover. Love all the projects!!!😘

[@mirimari4536]

It looks amazing! Really good job.

[@fatiemahbenjamin4740]

What a great job, I'm obsessed with entryways. Simple yet beautiful. I'm neither here or there about the ledge. Your house is coming along beautifully.

[@mister_manager]

WOW this looks wonderful! I can't believe how beautifully everything turned out!

[@hayleywharton6201]

I would recommend keeping the ledge. Having a sofa close to the front door can cause a sense of uneasiness. That ledge will not only make the living space feel more safe and secluded from the entrance, it gives more character to the space.

[@Cpndsny]

THE LITTLE MAIL DOOR 😭😭😭 how cute!!!! PLEASE do a quick mini makeover on that - it makes me laugh!

[@VocalOne444]

Beautiful job, Tina! Love how your vision came together. 💕

[@angelagoudge7247]

You are so good at this!

[@ericaturnerpantoja7843]

Everything is looking so nice Tina you do great work keep up the good work I am enjoying watching every video😊

[@brinaphan9459]

LITERALLY OBSESSED!! Such a beautiful home and welcoming entrance. Giving me all the inspiration when I begin redoing my condo! So excited to see the house completed!!

[@tinalemac]

Yassssss! I'm so excited to see what you're going to do in your new place 👏

[@IMOO1896]

I’ve never heard of using barkeepers friend to correct wood color, but the result is amazing.

[@babyjinspire]

This looks so good!! Simple, elegant and luxurious rustic.

[@thelamandapanda]

I would say if you are planning on keeping your couch where it currently is, leave the pony wall. Otherwise the back of your couch could get grubby. Or you could ditch the pony wall, and move your couch further into the room or to a different wall.

[@vanenott]

What a difference Tina! Looks amazing!!! Love your videos and energy! Very inspiring! Love from Spain!

[@brendarotter]

I haven't finished the video, but I must say I always say "every single week" with Tina at the beginning of the video! HAHA ✨

[@tinalemac]

Omg, that is too funny! Appreciate you watching "every single week" with me 😂💛

[@roxannareyes3186]

I also didn't finished the video.. she talk to much. I wanna see more actions...so i am out

[@h4plus8]

yaaaaasssss the wood trim is everything!!

[@lisacamilleri211]

Wow! It looks so good! What a difference.

[@tami489]

this is so beautiful! you are really putting love and hard work into your home.

[@debgibson5570]

I am indefinite keep the wall now that you've done the wood on it it ties in so well with your console table.

[@ashleymiller5722]

Keep the ledge!! It adds so much character ❤️

[@debc5317]

Looks GREAT !! Tina you are amazing !! I love the picture moulding on the wall . You are not afraid to try anything, good for you !

[@debc5317]

Also , I would get rid of the pony wall .. it's going to end up being a catch all.."stuff" collector. It was the style in the 80's

[@julierinehart1323]

I love the ledge! Especially now redone. I think it’s the perfect compliment to the table you made, and some extra space for styling! My vote is keep it.

[@purplehippy9831]

So happy you made this I’ve started my entryway and want to start vlogging my journey

[@carrieh922]

It looks amazing! Love it so much!

[@ima40schic]

LOVE the black door, I am in the process of painting all of my interior doors and the backs of the exterior doors black. Adding new doorknobs and hinges also in antique brass. It's amazing how it brings everything up a few levels!

[@rdsanantonio]

I love the little wooden ledge by the door and hope you decide to keep it

[@marymack4105]

Everything looks great. I’m for keeping the ledge. It creates a formal entry. It’s a unique feature of your house.

[@nettyb33]

This space came out so good!

[@barbarageddis1584]

Great job making a cohesive entryway to your living area. I don’t know you, however just from this video and the design, it seems you are down to earth, practical, and very welcoming.

[@docdoctme]

Love the results and your taste in design! Thanks for sharing your talent.
