WTD w/ this awkward space?
So we have the small space to the right when you walk in the main entry. It is big enough to do something with but not big enough to do much. Some family has recommended adding fake trees (the faux birch branches). I’m open to decor ideas and functional ideas as well. Let hear your thoughts!
note* area is 5‘ 3“ L x 1‘ 3“ W and it has an outlet

My house was built in 1927. I found this 10 foot long china cabinet on marketplace for 500 dollars. I plan to hang the upper half and put a marble counter top on the bottom half creating a butler's pantry off one side of the kitchen.

Question! I am painting Windsor back chairs coal black.
They will be not take a lot of abuse or need a tonne of wiping,
They will be sat on regularly.
Should I apply Tough Coat or leave them as is?
I’d rather not if I can get away with it!
Thanks for your help!

I can’t decide What color to paint the mantle?
Left, middle, right or a completely different color? Staining is not an option for this type of wood.

People told me this couldn't be done. You will never find the hardware or let alone doors that fit in the pockets.

Well, I must have the luck or the Irish as not only did I find doors a few blocks away, but the damn hardware that came with them fit my pockets rollers!

Just need to move a bit of electrical in the left pocket and this baby is going in too!

The first personal project that my boyfriend and I tackled is now complete and I must say, I'm super happy with how it turned out! As a newbie, I had my doubts, but now I can confidently say I absolutely LOVE my new hobby. Can't wait to start the next one! ✨
Also, Carriage House is incredible 😍

Wanted to share before and after. House had luan doors and I hated them. Cost to replace each with a hollow core was ridiculous. What use to be under 100 is now over 200. We used beadboard sheets, trim from Home Depot, cabinet coat paint. New handles and hinges. Love it! - by Blossom Gold. Saw this in a group on the Tedooo app (love the ideas I find there!!). So cool!

Would appreciate input, as I’ve never had hard wood floors. We pulled carpet from our new-to-us 1954 home and found this. 💕. Should we keep the stain natural, or more golden? (Natural would not end up this light, as it’s still a bit dusty from the sanding). Thank you!

We recently bought a house and dealing with cigarette smoke and “old house” smell. Not the type of old house like an antique store or from the wooden floors. Its not bearable at all. Does anyone have advice how to get rid of it? We pulled out all carpets and started painting with specific paint to get rid but it still lingers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I was cleaning the old fireplace in our bedroom today & can you believe the paint scraper accidentally jumped out of the shed, into my hand & started picking away at a few little chips I had noticed 🤭 looks like the tiles have been painted over. Do we think this could be original marble underneath? I mean, I’m excited!! Are we all excited?

Any tips on the best way to remove the paint effectively and safely without it taking weeks of my life? It’s not very thick so I’m thinking stripper would do the job?

My hanging pendents aren't fitting in as well as they could. I have a lot of light wood and black metal in my condo. Should I paint the bar attached to ceiling white and paint the copper by the Glass bulbs black? Any suggestions?

I kinda love this! Except that corner in the doorway.
