Steel apartment entry door with design on one side only?
Comments (2)if not, can you use construction adhesive to glue molding on the inside, and then paint? Or would the molding be a violation of fire code? can you get metal (or tin-clad?) molding?...See MoreHelp with non entry entryway
Comments (4)Great place! you can definitely treat this as it's own space, you have plenty of room and are on the right track. I love the shelves, a black console wouldn't be my choice but it looks like you like black and white so it should look great!...See MoreCreating an Entryway in Chicago Apartment (Renter-Friendly)
Comments (9)Ingrid--I definitely think something colorful on the floor would help! It is very sterile. I have held off on getting stuff because I wasn't sure which way I wanted to go with it. I did try a big bookcase in front of the curtain but it made it seem way too closed off. Thank you for your suggestions! deegw--I love the colorful rug that you placed in front of the door! Not sure about the bright curtain (I feel like it will close off the space even more or just seem like too much since it's floor to ceiling). But I do agree that it needs something. mdln--Omg I can't!!! I showed my fiancé and best friend the painting you put on the wall!! It's too good! Thank you so much for your effort! That photo honestly made me smile so much! Jan--It's definitely not ideal to have the 'bedroom' where it's at but it honestly has been working out WAY better to have the bed there than my study space. My law school friend always comes over to study so her desk is here too. She can't study with white noise or music...and with nothing playing, you can hear EVERYTHING going on in the hallway (outside of our apartment). Also, when my fiancé comes home from work (he works a 9-5), he obviously wants to make something to eat, watch TV, and just relax from his day at work but it was very distracting for my friend and I. And plus, he was having to worry about being quiet and I just didn't want that. Because there's no door, you can hear everything going on in the kitchen, living room, etc. With the office now in the 'bedroom,' we can close the door and hardly hear anything (even in the living room and kitchen). The new 'bedroom' is super cozy and we can't hear anything in the hallway or even in the apartment because my fiancé and I are both heavy sleepers and we also play a rain/white noise machine at night to block anything out. It has definitely given us more 'usable' space as well because the bedroom is a pretty decent size and since it's now an 'office,' friends and family come in and hang out sometimes and there is just more room in general than when the bed was in there. Here's the floor plan of our apartment. If you want specific pictures of other rooms (ones that show how it is NOW, then I definitely can do that--just let me know!!). Thank you for your willingness to help out Jan!...See MoreWhat to do with this apartment entry area
Comments (1)What do you need in that entry? A place to put your keys, your purse, mail, a couple of coats. I'd put a couple hooks for coats above the bench. A shelf and a mirror on the other wall. On the shelf put a bowl for keys. You always need a mirror for one last look before you leave the house....See MoreMDLN
