Entryway Makeover & Spring Decorate With Me 2023 || DIY Thrift Flips || DIY Accent Wall

welcome back to my channel and if you're new here welcome my name is Evelyn so today's video is finally the makeover that I have been talking about I did a little makeover slash refresh in my entryway I sold everything that I had and I got a new console table that I'm super excited about because it was a really good Facebook Marketplace fine this video is full of DIYs I painted a lamp that I found on Marketplace I also found a little stool that I did a little makeover on and a few other DIYs that I'm super excited to share this is also kind of like a spring decorate with me since I am decorating my entryway and I also used a lot of Decor that I shared in my last video which was my spring Decor haul so you're getting a lot of things in this video so if you're interested in seeing this little makeover and how I decorated it then just keep on watching okay so this is what the space currently looks like it's very empty so in case you don't remember I used to have a console table right here and then a mirror so I actually sold the console table and then the mirror I actually were turn in case you didn't know you have up to one year to return any items from the target owner brand so I was able to return it and then I purchased a few more items and then right here on this wall I am planning on doing is a Wayne's coating Wayne's cutting um it's also known as like picture frame molding so that is what I'm going to be doing right here and I actually want to paint it um I think it's called accessible beige by Sherwin-Williams let me show you okay so I taped it on so this is the color it's like a warm taupey gray and I really like it it didn't look as dark in the sunlight but I feel like in this room it would look really nice so I think I'm gonna be painting it that color and I think just this wall I would love to do everything but I don't know if I'm going to like it so for now it's just going to be this wool so first things first we headed to Lowe's to buy some wood and they had so many options to choose from but the one that I went with was 7.98 and I loved how it was thicker on one side and I just love the overall shape to it so I had my husband cut it for me and shout out to my father-in-law because he always has the tools we need luckily he had a miter saw and he also had a nail gun so we didn't have to purchase any foreign so a little hack that I saw on YouTube was using like spacers in between the boxes so I went ahead and ordered these from Amazon so they are four inch blocks and I wanted the space between the boxes to be four inches so basically what you're going to be doing is like putting this against the wall getting your trim leveling it and then you can just nail it in place and you don't have to like measure it with like a measuring tape to see where you're gonna place your trip okay so I wanted to show you guys what I mean by using blocks so this is going to be four inches above the baseboard and four inches from the wall and then you get your trim and you can place it right here and do your first um a nail right here and then you can like use your level to do the rest of it [Music] foreign [Music] so the next day I covered the nail holes with dry decks I sanded it down and I decided to go with the color accessible beige by Sharon Williams which is such a pretty warm and taupey gray and once I was done prepping everything I got started with painting if I'm leaving without you [Music] so give me a minute to catch my breath take my skills I'll take what's left I'm used to come in a circle business always [Music] so this is how it came out and I am in love with it I'm very impressed with myself because I didn't need my husband's help so I am so proud of myself and I do love how it came out I love the color and I also wanted to show you guys that I have a blank wall right here in this little hallway Nook I don't know what you want to call it and I want to do the Stacked frames right here and I also got a little stool from Facebook Marketplace so I will be diying that and I haven't had any luck finding frames at thrift stores so I've been on the hunt and I actually found some from Target and Amazon so these are the frames that I purchased so I got this one from Amazon and I do love the gold tone of this one it kind of reminds me of this one that I got from Target and I shared it with you guys in a haul but I kind of want to age it to look like this and I have this wax and we're going to be doing a little DIY on that and then I also got this one from Target I saw Skye from how 1000 home share this Frame but like the smaller version in one of her decorating videos and I loved it she also shared it in her stories and I was like okay I'm gonna get it but I don't want to use it vertically I kind of want to use it horizontally and kind of have it like this so I'm going to be also removing the glass from both of them so that they kind of look like this and I also got some art from Etsy and it had it printed at CVS and we'll also be doing a DIY on this just to make it look a little bit more realistic and like a real painting so let's get started with aging this frame a little bit oh I had this wax by bear in the color dark antique and I thought it would be perfect to give this Frame an antique look so I first started off by using a paper towel but I noticed that it was just smearing the product all over so I eventually switched over to a brush and that worked way better I was just stippling the product onto the frame and I was very impressed with how it transformed it it looks very similar to the frame from Target [Music] so to mattify these glossy prints I went in with Mod Podge the matte kind and I tried to mimic the brush Strokes of the painting to add a lot of texture and I also like that it mattifies it to make it look a little bit more real and authentic foreign [Music] so this is the little stool that I was talking about that I purchased from Facebook Marketplace for fifteen dollars these usually run about a hundred to three hundred dollars so I was super excited when I found it I just didn't like the orange tone of the wood so I decided to do the easy off method I went to my nearest Walmart I bought a can of easy off I sprayed it on and I let it sit for about 20 minutes and then you're going to start scrubbing with some soap and water and you're going to start to see the stain or the paint come off and I did have to do this twice in order to get the stain off foreign [Music] scrubbing I rinsed it off with my hose and then I just let it sit in the sun until it was completely dry and you guys look at this transformation isn't this absolutely beautiful I love the raw wood and this is exactly what I was trying to go for and I'm going to start popping up some pictures of the prices of these I know Walmart sells one for about a hundred dollars but these are very expensive so highly recommend checking out Facebook Marketplace first foreign so I purchased this lamp off a Facebook Marketplace and I loved the shape of it I just didn't like the pink color or the size of the lampshade so I decided to give it a little makeover using some paint and what I'm going to be using is this decorative glaze by Rust-Oleum I'm also going to be using some paint samples this one is Eiffel for you by bear and this one is Ash and tan by Benjamin Moore I'm also going to be using some baking soda to add some texture and of course some paint brushes [Music] I'm first going to go in with Ash and tan by Benjamin Moore and I decided to add some baking soda to give it a ceramic texture and the reason that I am using a paint sample is because I love the coverage the coverage is amazing and I also like that I get to select unique colors that maybe I wouldn't find at a craft store so this one is a perfect neutral cream and by itself it looks absolutely beautiful and as you can see it right away started covering up the pink color of the lamp and I decided to add some more texture by dabbing my paintbrush as you can see it added a little bit more texture than just your normal brush Strokes [Music] once that dried I went in with Eiffel for you by bear and again I added some baking soda to give it some texture and I did a very light coat of this one because I did want the Ash and tan color underneath to peek through to give it a distressed look kind of like it's old and it's been sitting there and the paint has ripped off so I did it very lightly and I also dabbed my paintbrush to give it a little bit more texture and as you can see the paint underneath is peeking through and it gives it that distressed look that we're going for [Music] time [Music] now this next step is what I feel gave it that vintage look so I'm using this decorative glaze by Rust-Oleum in the color Java Brown I dip my paintbrush and rubbed off the excess on a paper towel and then I painted it on and I also used a paper towel to smooth it out and kind of rub off the excess and I just love how it looks like dirt has collected into all that texture it adds another layer and it just makes it look a lot more distressed and as I was using the product I realized I could have used dirt and water and kind of watered it down to make it a little bit more runny to create the same look so if you don't want to go out and buy this decorative glaze you can definitely use that and get the same look and I just am so happy with how it turned out it's exactly what I was trying to go for and I am in love with it [Music] thank you so this lamp is actually from the 1980s which I thought was really cool and as I mentioned I purchased it on Marketplace and I got it for 35 dollars I knew I would be able to transform it and I was so surprised when TJ Maxx posted this lamp on their website for 150 because it looks so similar to how mine turned out [Music] foreign is completely dry and I love how it turned out it looks very similar to this one and then the paintings are dry so I'm going to start putting them into the frames and then I'm going to show you guys a very exciting piece that I also found on Facebook Marketplace foreign are you guys ready to see this Facebook Marketplace find I am so excited this is the piece that I told you guys that I was super excited to share and here it is I'm so in love with this piece you will not believe how much I paid for this piece of furniture so I had been looking for a new console table for a while and I saw one on Shane McGee's makeover Show on Netflix and I did so much research to find out where she got it and then I realized that it was a vintage piece so I was like oh there's no way I will ever find one and then I tried to look up how much these vintage pieces are and I will show you guys the pieces that I found and how much they were they were around a 3 000 to 5 000 which just blew my mind because I would never pay that much for a piece of furniture and although they're very pretty I was like no there's no way I can pay that much so then I was scrolling through Facebook Marketplace and I feel like I manifested this find because I saw this console table and I was so surprised that this person was selling it she did put in the description that she bought it from a vintage shop and I actually recognized the name of that shop so I right away made an offer and she wouldn't respond and I was just so scared that she was going to sell this to someone else so I messaged her again and she finally responded and she told me she had 25 other offers so I did offer a little bit more than what she was asking because I really did want the piece but she had this console table listed for 125 which is mind-blowing because these are about three thousand to five thousand dollars I have been dying to share this piece with you guys and here it is I'm super excited to style it and what's crazy is that it fits perfectly in this space this space is like 63 inches long and this table is 63 inches long which is it was meant to be I'm pretty much done with all my DIYs so all we have left to do is style and put the frames up and I also got this really nice Runner off of Amazon I think that's all we have left so let's get started with styling and decorating this space and then I will show you guys the final review [Music] so for this tool I added two books as well as this face from a Kinko and I also added the wild asparagus bush from Hobby Lobby I'm most likely not going to keep this face on there because I wouldn't want my daughter to grab it and potentially hurt herself so I do want to DIY a plastic face and hopefully that is a safer option [Music] so like I mentioned I didn't like the previous lampshade and instead I got this one from Target I love the pleated look and I also ordered these battery operated light bulbs since I don't have an outlet to plug the lamp in so this is a great option my breath [Music] this space is from home goods and I'll have a similar one linked down below for you guys I'll make sure to link everything you see in this video down below and I also added these stems that I got from Amazon that I shared in my haul they look very realistic and I just love the different ringtones and I love how they look in my entryway [Music] I love placing my books like this I did it for fall and I also did it for Christmas and I just love how they look it looks very lived in and this tray is from Target from I think last year and I don't know if they have it anymore but I got this match clothes from Amazon and then this candle was a gift foreign on the other side I place the frame from Target and then these two bugs and I topped it off with this candle holder that I got from Hobby Lobby which is so cute and adds such a vintage touch [Music] I also found this runner on Amazon I wanted to add some warm yet Moody tones and this one was perfect [Music] and for underneath my console table I purchased these ornaments from Target I love the pattern and the color of these and lastly I topped it off with this throw blanket from Amazon that is very similar to one sold on Amber interiors and that completed this makeover here is the final reveal [Music] foreign [Music] thank you foreign [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] thank you
