Me too! I love to refinish furniture I find curbside. It’s more than just having the piece it’s the process that soothes the mind. I love to just imagine what it could look like and go from there ! Kiva does this well! I have learned much from her creative ways and bought things she recommends bc she does recommend some practical Functional items. 🤗🤗
I love how your hallway turned out it looks very classy. The art you created is soooo awesome! My hallway is long and narrow it's only three feet wide. I can still add artwork and a mirror to make it look better. Thanks, Kiva, for another inspiring video.
Kiva - I am always inspired by your posts and what you share. Now you've taken it to a new level - watching you transform yourself as you drop weight. You look fantastic. I'm on a weightloss/healthier path myself. Maybe you'd consider sharing recipes or your thoughts? Appreciate you - and your own art is very cool.
I’ve been trying to style my entryway for probably a month. I’ve been looking for a long console table but I haven’t been able to find one I like in a price I like. Some of the ones you showed at the beginning that you were disagreeing with are exactly what I’m looking for. I want something without storage without a dust collector shelf on the bottom. I don’t have any excess things that need to be stored I just want it for pretty decor. I don’t need a place for keys or shoes or anything like that because I come in and out through my garage through my laundry room, I seldom use my front door. Company comes in the front door but I almost never do. I need a video on console tables. Love you by the way ❤.
Kiva thanks! My husband and I redid our entryway last month and we love it! I added a mirror, artwork and a lamp. I have a Cricut Joy. I wonder if I can find some art with design space.
My mom uses her Cricut to design large mugs, the Built ones with metal linings. She made mine as her first project, and cut images from an anime I enjoy to design it, and sealed it with resin. I think I have used that cup every single day since she gave it to me three years ago. The metal lining is perfect for someone like me, who prefers cold drinks as it makes ice last longer. But I also like looking at the Naruto design scheme on it 😂.
I am literally so happy that I found this channel. I listen to these videos as I’m driving into work of all the design RUclipsrs I’ve seen KB is the best.
Love the art, however, with respect, I’m confused about the frames being so much taller than the door. Perhaps a couple of diptych frames would be helpful? Cheers.
@@KivaBrent cleared everything out and since it has no natural light near were going all white with shade of green 🙄 Edinburgh is waiting for you to visit and the weather's getting better now too... 😉
Good tips - thanks! I can't do storage in the entry apart from art as I also have a walker, but I will be modifying the storage closet off the entrywall.
KB, I absolutely adore your ideas in this video, especially how you made yourself vulnerable and shared footage of your own home. However, I am not sure it addressed really other people's awkward entryways. For instance, people like me, who live in a bungalow, or others who inherited or are renting in bad design.
Thank you😊 for the cricut lesson. Never knew much about that machine. Small entry ways are a challenge. Thank you😊 for the tips. Especially the mirror placement.
Love what you did with the space but it looks like a large entryway in comparison to mine. The idea of the mirror opposite your artwork is genius! Not much space between each side in my apartment, maybe 5 ft so I’ve been searching for a 33-34” console table that might work in a small area just inside the living room. Do you know where i might find a table that length? BTW you’re looking fantastic! Go girl!!😊
I loved the video! We moved into our brand new house in June and the entryway is still completely bare! We have put up exactly one mirror, onewith a few hooks and one wall hanging plant (we are a family of five by the way). I think we basically know what we want to do with the space, but it involves a lot of DIY and we are not those kinds of people... 😂 So for now the entryway is 1) not practical and 2) not nice to look at. It's frustrating as heck! This video gave me some more ideas and inspo though, so thank you. 👍
… I love watching your videos as I always learn something new. I was wondering if you can make a video about awkward bedroom with /\ shaped ceiling with not a lot of wall space on both longer walls of the room. How to utilise those spaces? …
Wow! That was great Cricut art!!! Could you do even more of that? Maybe art pieces that are larger or larger groupings? My Cricut can go 12 inches across and 24 inches down. Your art looks like it came straight out of the Restoration Hardware catalog!
The front entryway in our next house is basically a wall next to the kitchen. The depth of the wall to the beginning of the kitchen entry is about two inches, so there really isn't much we can do with that space except make it a display wall because i don't want anything jutting out into the path of the kitchen. i have a hard time with something being strictly for looks only (gotta have the practical / functional with the pretty), but i don't know what else we can do with that space except make it artistic. Around the corner of the wall is enough space to put a table and whatnot, but the wall is just going to have to be for looks only. A work in progress, i guess 🙂
Hi KB, I love your new entryway. One thing I'm "stuck" with in my entryway is the fact that I have ONE wall to style...opposite of that, I have a door to the garage and a door to the coat closet. There's about 6 inches between the two. The other wall is the door to the outside. Sooooo, the ONE wall I have has a mirror on it (which reflects to the outside, just like you said was a "mistake"). If it's a mistake, how do I "fix" it? I don't think I can hang a mirror on a working door. I'm stuck. BTW, my bathroom is being renovated and they are tiling the wall now, so maybe one or two more weeks until I can share (if there's a place to share a photo here). Hope all is well! Thanks for the video and ideas.
Hi, Brenda! I should’ve said that better. Your mirror can face the outside, it’s just about what your front area looks like. Mine is an ugly condo hallway 😂. You could always opt for a smaller mirror and incorporate it into a gallery wall so that it feels more decorative.
Kiva, help!!! I love your ideas for entryways. I have a dilemma and don't know where to start. My home is split level. Once you walk in the front door, you either go up the stairs to the main living area, or down to the garden level basement area. The entire floor space is 6'x7'. To the left is a small wall about 4' high. to the right, is a coat closet. Any ideas for an awkward small entryway would be appreciated. Thanks for all of your awesome videos.
I have the same issue and I just brought the ikea Hemnes tall shoe cabinet (1 drawer, 2 cabinet) and it only blocked a foot of the bottom step going up my stairs. I put a mirror on top but if you are short it might be too high.
Ok..I love weeding too We have a different machine that will remain unnamed on this sponsored video 😂 But when my partner makes clothes, I love weeding all the vinyl ☺️ lol
@@KivaBrent thank you and as always you make all of us feel we can do almost anything... Now hurry yourself up and come to Edinburgh.. The world needs more Kiva 😉
My entryway is a very large room. I have a dinning table and a couch in there..it feels so open and uninviting, what can I do with it? I have a large piece of art on the one long wall and large floor mirrors on opposite wall. Still feels/looks barren 😢
Gallery walls of framed personal photos are best in entryways, (and hallways) because people pass through those areas quickly. It is just too personal (and boring) to stare at personal photos for hours, while sitting in the dining area or living room. For a simplified entryway gallery wall, choose one theme of photos of .... just your family, or just your pets, or just your vacations.
Kiva, I just want to say thank you for all the inspiration you have given me through videos. Making something myself is so much more satisfying.
Oh, I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for being here!

Thank you! Yes, you can definitely still add artwork and a mirror! You could also try narrow shelves or those IKEA shoe cupboards!
Wall hooks or peg racks are really great for narrow hallways as well

Thank you Kiva. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make my small entry way functional. Appreciate all the wonderful help! ❤

Your line drawing artwork looks incredible! I am not sure anything I do would look that good
Yours definitely would!!!!! Mine are linked down there for free if you want them!
Love the art, however, with respect, I’m confused about the frames being so much taller than the door. Perhaps a couple of diptych frames would be helpful? Cheers.
Kiva those drawings are terrific! You're an artist!!!
Thank you sooo much! It was so fun making them!
Kiva you look fantastic! This was exactly the vid I needed as we're working on the hall right now.. Love from Edinburgh x
Thank you so much!!!! How’s the hall coming along?
@@KivaBrent cleared everything out and since it has no natural light near were going all white with shade of green 🙄

Good tips - thanks! I can't do storage in the entry apart from art as I also have a walker, but I will be modifying the storage closet off the entrywall.
Great ideas, Kiva! My entry is similar to yours - almost more like a long hallway - with 4 doors. Such a challenge!🥴
Fabulous glasses❤❤
Love this video.. I lack an actual entry way but can definitely use these tips in my hallway to the bedrooms.. thank you!!
I LOVE your artwork! Deceptive in it’s simplicity ❤️!

Very helpful as always!
💓the pink! Very springy! ☺️
visually beautiful ideas and cost conscious, you are a treasure!
Wow, thank you!
I can't help it, every time I see the word "Cricut" I hear "cry-cut" in my head. 😂 *Love* your videos, Kiva! 🥰
Haha, so fair! Thank you so much, Rebecca!
You look so healthy and bright! I hope you feel great too! Love from Nova Scotia
Thank you so much! Im feeling a lot better 💕.
Great information, thank you. You look wonderful hopefully you’re feeling good.❤
Aw thank you so much, Andrea!! 💕
Speaking of looking good...both you and your wife look fantastic. Healthy and happy!
Aw thank you so so much!!
Wow!!! So awesome and helpful Kiva!!!! ❤
I like the piece of art behind you right now. The bull head. Where can I get something like that?

I’ve been looking for a video like this! Thank you!!
What do you think about large framed mirror over a sideboard in the kitchen area? Is that overkill ??
What are the cabinets in your entryway called? I definitely need this for my entryway. Link if possible. Love your style and thanks for sharing!! 😊
Love your artwork. I have a Cricut II. Would I be able to do something similar? Still learning how to use mine.
The lighting is beautiful
Great point about planning what sits OPPOSITE a big mirror. Wish I’d thought to consider it long ago. 😎
Hi Kiva, I love the art you created with your Cricut, but I’m also loving the vase and the stems! Are they linked somewhere?
Kiva just love your artwork, my entryway is too short I can’t hardly do anything 😂😂😂😂
Just amazing the way you did your one , just gorgeous ❤❤❤😘😘😘😘

@@KivaBrent Whew!!! I'm working on all "the mistakes" in this house...I do love the idea of a smaller mirror as part of a gallery. Thanks so much :)
You should change that ceiling light in the foyer ❤️ U
Yes!!! 🙌🏽 I need those lights. Do you have a link?
Cannot find the cabinets you used. Pretty sure I’m spelling it incorrectly. Can you link them?
I’m sold on the artwork 😊
looks incredible!!!! bravo!
Thank you so much!!! How’s your day going?
Kiva, I promise this is on time!!
So glad you did this Video!
Kiva love your artwork
Thank you!!

Hi, Claudia! I might use a short entry table there like one of the IKEA shoe cabinets!
I have the same issue and I just brought the ikea Hemnes tall shoe cabinet (1 drawer, 2 cabinet) and it only blocked a foot of the bottom step going up my stairs. I put a mirror on top but if you are short it might be too high.
Where did your frames come from please?
Kb a true designer practically vs fake ❤
Thank you for the inspiration and tips...and you've lost a lot of weight! Good for you i'm on the upswing myself:/
Great artwork!
Thanks so much, Kathy!!
Ok..I love weeding too
We have a different machine that will remain unnamed on this sponsored video 😂 But when my partner makes clothes, I love weeding all the vinyl ☺️ lol
Kiva, is it alright to mix traditional antique prints with some abstract art as well if the same colour tones are used 😁
Yes of course! Mix anything that makes you happy!
@@KivaBrent thank you and as always you make all of us feel we can do almost anything... Now hurry yourself up and come to Edinburgh.. The world needs more Kiva 😉
My entryway is a very large room. I have a dinning table and a couch in there..it feels so open and uninviting, what can I do with it?
I have a large piece of art on the one long wall and large floor mirrors on opposite wall.
Still feels/looks barren 😢
Have you tried doing a pedestal table on a rug? You could center this in the room and it would really anchor the space!
Thank you!
What’s the name for the table ?
Gallery walls of framed personal photos are best in entryways, (and hallways) because people pass through those areas quickly. It is just too personal (and boring) to stare at personal photos for hours, while sitting in the dining area or living room. For a simplified entryway gallery wall, choose one theme of photos of .... just your family, or just your pets, or just your vacations.
It came out great
Thank you so much!
Where'd you get the mirror?
It was on final sale at crate and barrel!
Hi Kiva great tips you look good take care
thanks
What about a mirror facing a window?
I like your hair!
Thank you!
I love your videos. What if your entry way in your apartment is basically non-existent but you need something......
Looks great! Also, YOU look great
I have kids so my entryway has to be super practical. I have a bench with shoe cubbies and a huge vintage gold mirror in it.
I love weeding ❤😂
It’s sooo fun!!
Same!
I kind of don’t really have an “entry way” my front door opens into the living room 🙃.
Use a sofa table as an entry table!
My entry way is literally my biggest design Dilemma. There is a closet 3 feet across from the front door and 2 walls on either side of the door.😢
Decorate the walls!
my entry goes right into the livingroom, and I want it to feel somewhat sectioned off.
Out of this 11 minute video, around 4 minutes was taken up with advertising. Thank goodness for fast forward.
Kiva … what if your entryway has a wall facing it . ?
I only have a door that opens into my living room. ☹️
I don't think she took one breath for the entire video.
I didn’t
❤❤
You talk a lot and too loud
I need types to get my housemates on board🙄
🥬 pray.
