"The small coat closet didn't offer a ton of storage, and the builder-grade boob-shaped ceiling light didn't give off a lot of light," Katie describes. "The retro white marble floor tiles were the only thing I liked about the space." This highlights how even small spaces can feel uninviting without proper design considerations.
"The door transformation made the biggest difference," Katie says. "Adding trim to the door gave it character, and painting it green made the space feel bright, fresh, and welcoming." This emphasizes the impact of a well-executed entryway upgrade on the overall atmosphere.
"It was a cheap, low-effort step that made a big difference," Katie says of her DIY trim project. "I bought a few $10 pieces of wood trim from the hardware store, cut them to size with a saw and miter box, and attached them to the door with wood glue before painting it." This demonstrates that simple DIY projects can lead to significant enhancements.
"I didn't want to spend extra money on samples and decided to risk buying a color after only having seen the paint chip," Katie reflects. "It's bright and fun, which is what I wanted, but ... I may end up painting over it with a slightly softer shade of green sometime in the future." This indicates the challenges of color selection in home decor projects.
