  • My entry to my apartment has been long-overdue for a refresh. So in this video, I give it a total makeover into a modern, transitional space that's welcoming and cozy. AND it's renter-friendly! I'm using removable wallpaper AND adding removable bead board/wainscoting to the wall. Plus a few other DIYs along the way. ✨

    You can cut another piece of wood to fill that gap, use wood fillers to smooth out the edges, and paint over. Should give you seamless results :)

      That's exactly what I was thinking too. I probably have some scrap pieces I can do it with

    Hi, I love what you did in the entryway. Maybe you can tweak the branches a bit to make it look more natural. Look at images of that plant to help you. Other than that gorgeous.

  • @Madmike1621
    @Madmike1621 Год назад +3

    Love love this!!! Excellent idea and very rental friendly. For the gap, maybe paint a popsicle stick and put it in the gap( incase someone hasn’t already posted that idea) 😉.

    I think your little plant-fix worked great for hiding the gap on the coat rack! Good idea! Love the color scheme and practicality of your entryway makeover!
    I just discovered your videos today, and I must say, what a delightful young lady you are! Such clever ideas with easy tools, and perfect solutions for semi-permanent apartment living. You have an eye for design and decor! I watched your black & white patio makeover video too, and you inspired me! You are the first DIYer I've ever subscribed to!

  • @lydialutz
    @lydialutz 8 месяцев назад

    Very nice. If it were me, I probably would have painted that wallpaperspot where the hook bar didn't reach and then also put the plant in front of it. The plant was genius.
    The command strips you used are really holding up that beadboard??!!!! still working a year later? Beadboard seems to heavy for that to me but if it works awesome! I might try it too.

  • @racheltom051
    @racheltom051 Год назад +1

    Since the wallpaper comes all the way down under the coat rack I'd just paint the wallpaper on that side of the rack. Great job on the Entryway!!! We sold our home and are being relocated for my husband job so I always love your videos for great ideas!!

  • @juliefranc7443
    @juliefranc7443 Год назад +1

    Looks great, Alli. To solve your gap issue, I would cut a piece of white foam board to size and just paint it.

    Love it! I live in a rental and the landlord replaced the vanity in the bathroom with a smaller one. So now there's a gap between where it ends and the wallpaper starts. Also, some of the wallpaper is peeling off in some places. I was thinking of putting up pole wrap (normally used to cover support columns in basements) on the wall but I may go this route instead. I'm afraid to use nails because I don't want to damage the wall or the pipes behind it as the toilet is also right there. I'm going to try using command strips instead! Thank you for your brilliant ideas and the inspiration too!

    • @ActuallyAlli
      @ActuallyAlli  Год назад

      Yes!!! Command Strips are lifesavers in rentals! That's a perfect solution to fix your bathroom wall/vanity area

    You did an awesome job on your entry way Alli, it looks fantastic. It’s always difficult in a rental to make things look nice without damaging or changing things permanently but you mastered it with this, good luck with your living room. I also love the wallpaper and the colour scheme. On the board and coat hooks etc. TFS.

    Good morning from Texas! I just discovered your channel yesterday and I've already enjoyed several videos - especially those about your balcony. I have a question, tho', and apologies if previously answered but that would be HOURS of reading! LOL Anyway, I also live in a small apartment (ground floor) and love DIY'ing but wonder...where on earth do you keep all your supplies...the drills, big staplers, sanders...that sort of stuff. Little stuff I can handle but no room for the big stuff. Thanks!!

    @marilynduenas1876 Год назад

    Don't move the shelf either paint the wall paper on that space or fill it up with a piece of wood ( little blocks, or custom cut) and paint it, or also fill the space with some cement, caulk or anything that you could paint there are many things you can do to fix the gap

  • @joydavis3089
    @joydavis3089 Год назад +1

    It looks great. But does the door open without rolling up the rug or banging on the shelf?

    • @ActuallyAlli
      @ActuallyAlli  Год назад

      There's one of those spring doorstoppers that prevents the door from hitting the shelf (I was worried about that too before building it, but the door has plenty of clearance). I ended up moving the rug back where the navy blue one is from the before footage, I just couldn't "capture" the full effect in the reveal footage with rug placed next to the door. I wish I could keep a rug there so I wouldn't track in dirt on the carpet though 😩

    • @ActuallyAlli
      @ActuallyAlli  Год назад +1

      My apartment complex doesn't care about putting nails or screws in the wall as long as I spackle over the holes when I move out! Then their maintenance crew will come in and re-paint

    Love the idea, but can I ask why you put so much effort into decorating a space that is literally facing the back of your door? I’d be terrified of guests swinging my door open not knowing there’s a whole ass shelf on the other side 😂

    • @ActuallyAlli
      @ActuallyAlli  Год назад +1

      Haha that's totally valid! There's a door stopper that sticks our further than the shelf! I made sure it wouldn't hit the shelf/wall before installing everything. I'll probably end up securing the frame with some sticky tack at some point just to be safe though
