Room Reveals

Front Entryway Makeover

January 18, 2017

Before Photo Entryway

A front entryway makeover was definitely in order for this space. As you can see from the photo above our entryway was out of control!  Heaven forbid you came home after a couple glasses of wine, you’d most likely end up tripping and fall on the floor, no, that never happened to me…  Out of my love for design, or perhaps frustration, I set out to makeover our entryway.  As always I was on a budget!  I sold the antique table in the picture for $30 to fund this project.

After!  No more shoes, well those are props!  I found this storage ottoman for $4 at the thrift store and totally revamped it.  You can check out the DIY over on my blog A Plentiful Life.  We had extra wood from a DIY growler project and made the key hooks.  I couldn’t be happier.

DIY Key Hook

This DIY key hook was super simple and only took a few minutes to put together, once the wood was stained.  The hooks are acutally cleets for a dock.  Can you believe this only cost $5 to make!

Is it possible to be in love with tassels?  These were really fun to make and a great evening project while listening to music or watching a bad TV show.

DIY Ottoman Storage

Storage ottoman to the rescue!  I can put my purse, work bag, the coin jar and any other pieces that are left around inside the ottoman in a few seconds!  An easy way to keep the entryway tidy.

Obviously the blanket scarves need separate storage!  That’s a given.  I liked the contrast of the black ottoman with the beige metal basket.

3 Ways to Get Organized The budget office storage 3 Ways to Get Organized

The budget office storage was revealed last week, so let's talk organization! This was the key to the storage closet. Everything has a place and there should be minimal clutter. 
It becomes pretty frustrating when we constantly have to look for items we want to use. Getting organized not only creates less clutter, it saves you time! 
1. Throw away items you no longer use - I know it seems straight forward, but sometimes it can be difficult. This closet previously housed a lot of junk that was no longer needed.

2. Use storage containers - Image if all the contents of those baskets were simply stacked in each shelf, it would feel very disorganized. Baskets are a small investment to help you get organized.

3. Create a labeling system - Whether you have a label maker or purchase labels or make these DIY paper lables I made, labels are key to being organized.

Do you remember what this closet looked like before? Swipe right to see. ➡️ It wasn't pretty. Now all of the craft supplies, paper, cords, wrapping etc have a place to be stored. The baskets create a clean look and keep this space clutter free. 
I don't what to pick a favorite but I think this little closet makeover is one of my favorite budget room makeovers. More photos over on the blog.
