The wait is over .. I’m finally revealing our entry makeover!! My hope was to finish much much earlier – things definitely took longer than expected, BUT it was worth it because I’m in love with how it turned out!
Today I’m sharing a few photos and sources, I’ll be back next week with a few tutorials and more specifics.
First, here’s a few before and afters.
What a difference, right??
Our first major decision was to paint the wood. I struggled with it for a few months, but ultimately decided that I didn’t want to leave the wall beams wood and since the wall beams intersect with the ceiling beams, the ceiling should be painted as well.. I know that everyone won’t agree, but in the end, we have to do what makes us smile 🙂
Our next decision was to tear up the tile and lay new tile. I’m obsessed with the herringbone tile!!
Here’s a mini tour ..
The gallery wall was made up of DIY art and Pottery Barn’s metal letters
I love the depth and size of the metal letters, the wooden ampersand was made from leftover driftwood
Custom built-ins are on the back wall.
Hardware is from DLawless here and here , cubby baskets are from Pottery Barn, bench cushion made from Neo Toile, coral from Tonic Living, woven baskets are from Home Goods.
The accent wall was a stencil that we created based on Katie Ridder wallpaper.
DIY Serena and Lily inspired mirror, here
Wood shelf made from the same wood as our MCM dresser legs, Maryland state keychain from the Duo Studio, Monogram keychain from here.
Eleana Recycled bud vases from Pottery Barn, love the subtle green color! Flowers found at Wegmans, I can’t remember the name, but love them!
The collapsible baskets are Pottery Barn (right is fully opened, and left is half way open). Aren’t they neat? Love them!! Chevron Brass Duck coat rack was a DIY project.
Capri pendant from Kenroy Home. Love that it’s simple, but still makes a statement.
One last before:
and after.
After planning and working on the space for several months, it’s amazing seeing it come together! I LOVE how it turned out!!
Come back next week for a few more specifics on how we put this space together!

It's so bright! I LOVE those floors!
This is amazing- we are right in the middle of trying to figure out how to DIY a bench with pull out drawers underneath and I would LOVE to hear how you built these! Thank you for sharing all of the beauty!
So amazing. I love the wall stencil with that floor and the heater grate that you used in the built-in doors is genius. Love it all!!
It looks AMAZING!!!!!! I'm looking forward to all of the tutorials. 🙂 I am very interested in how you made the cabinet doors and the bench. Will you be selling the stencil in your Etsy store?
Thank you Carrie!! I won't be selling the stencil in my store since we based it directly off of Katie Ridder's design. I'll talk more about our process next week! 🙂
Sarah! Amazing! What a transformation. You all are so talented in so many different areas. The built in is excellent!
Seriously?!?! I'm pretty sure everything you touch turns to gold. So awesome… incredible transformation!!!!!
Incredible. New follower, just because I need to see how you did those floors. Holy carp!!!
OMG I am in love with this space! So sad that you won't be selling the stencil in your store! It's amazing!
Looks awesome! I love the floor and the stencil! I also must ask who makes that black and white tote bag. I love it!

PS-I'm SO happy you painted the wood! I know many people will want to punch me for saying so, but it looks fantastic with a fresh coat of white paint! Gah!!
Holy Sweetness!! I love everything about this right down the the monogrammed keychain!! I love it all, well done!!
Can you figure out what kind of wood you made your MCM legs and the floating shelf is? I love it!!! Thanks!
Jessica
from Canada 🙂
It looks wonderful!
It looks so welcoming! The floor is really pretty as well, do you think you will use it in other rooms?
OHMYGOSH! It's amazeballs and painting the ceiling and beams was the right decision!
this is amazing!!! I loooove love the white. and really the whole look. Amazing job!
Absolutely gorgeous Sarah! I loooove the floors and the painted wood. Every detail is just gorgeous.
I agree with Gabbi painting the wood made the space! It's so bright and beautiful! The floors are awesome! You are an incredible decorator!!!
You are AMAZING! This is just too much. Good job guys – it looks STUNNING and I love every last part of it!
Beautiful!!! Everything about it beckons, what a great way to welcome people into your home. I'm always impressed by your stencil work – I've tried doing some myself without much success. Plus, I had to wait for quite awhile for the painted area to dry before each time I put the stencil back on the wall – any tips/tricks for that?
Your entry looks amazing! What a transformation, you are so talented!
Tammy @ the colored door
the floors! Oh, I love them…and the shelf…and the mirror…and the stencil…and…and!!! xoxo
Everything is so beautiful… love it all…especially your flooring!
This space is absolutely stunning! I would love to have a room that looked like that! Everything from the amazing flooring to the decor, just perfection!
There's so much prettiness to take in! Seriously amazing Sarah!!
So happy to see it finally! All your hard work definitely paid off – it is light and bright and such a happy first thing to see when you walk in the door. So beautiful, all of it!
Wow! Such an incredible transformation. Such a beautiful labor of love; you really have created such a welcoming entrance to your home. Those built ins? I am drooling. And the floors and walls and pendant are all just SO GOOD! Job well done as always Sarah!
Your entryway is gorgeous! I don't know how you transform everything into such a beautiful and cohesive space. Definitely think it was a great call painting the wood, it opens the space up so much. And those herringbone floors, I want somewhere in my home!!
I would definitely say that all of your hard work paid off, this is so beautiful, Sarah! I think I'd just throw a mattress on the floor and live in there! 😉 Love your monogram keychain…it's now on my b-day wish list. It comes in green!
Everything looks amazing!!! I'd love to know how you created the stencil!
All of your hard work was worth it – what a great way to start a home! And that stencil is something you should sell – love it!
Gorgeous Sarah! You are truly a stand-out, DIY talent!
Sarah!! This is a winner from floor to ceiling and everything in between! I LOVE that it's as beautiful as functional!
Went a little Pinterest-crazy on this post…. even more than usual! 😉 Absolutely perfect to the last detail, Sarah!
Shut up! This is crazy beautiful and I can hardly believe it is the same space!!! I don't know where to start….everything is perfect!
Did my last comment post!? Everything looks incredible, what a gorgeous first peek into your home! So inspired and airy! Gorgeous job, Sarah! Xx j
