"The entryway was a complete afterthought and over time became an area to store boxes and junk. It was painted yellow and was very unsightly to see this as your first impression of his home."
"What better gift than to give him a room makeover like you see on those TV shows? Her father-in-law said she could do absolutely anything she wanted, but he had one request: He wanted it to be orange, his favorite color."
"Over six days, Lisa totally transformed the space - and on a budget of $350, no less. She started with the DIY slatted wood bench, which inspired her to carry slatted wood throughout the rest of the room, too."
"While the entryway is certainly stylish, it's practical, too: The bench provides a place to safely sit and remove or put on shoes, and hooks offer storage for coats."
Entryways are challenging to design due to their small size and high traffic. A practical update was made to a 1949 home entryway, which had become cluttered. The transformation, completed in six days for $350, involved painting the space a creamy orange and adding a DIY slatted wood bench. The design included wood slats and a new gold sconce, enhancing both style and functionality. The project served as a meaningful gift and a lesson for the designer's children.
