How can I improve the entrance to our apartment?
Comments (10)I think it bothers you because it’s basically empty. I like to have a bit of a “drop zone” by the door. Maybe a small drawer unit to the left of your door, to hold gloves, sunglasses, etc. believe it or not, I found a nice one for my daughter’s apartment at the Christmas Tree Store for maybe $40 (it might not be her forever furniture, but looks great and serves a purpose during her urban apartment years). If you would use it, a small wall mounted hook unit next to your closet could stash dog leashes, coats when visitors are there, etc. You could get a magnetic picture hanger and hang something on the back of your door (eg seasonal “door” artwork, a pretty calendar, or maybe even a mirror for last minute checkups on your way out the door). These things would all be functional, and distract you from the door hardware that bothers you....See MoreHelp! How can I make this entryway stunning?
Comments (59)that did come out very nice. How about a black tray like this w/flowers or books or something? I gave you a garden stool next to the console. maybe a basket w/flowers and things?: I like these lamps better than the light blue/gray ones you have. In fact, I might change the lamps to something darker though. don't know if a black (or deep navy) base or even a shade would look better against the background. ? I like adding a darker stool or something next to the console. (if you go w/a darker shade) I wanted to see what a darker console would look like against it after seeing this picture...See MoreHow can I add to my roof to cover my front entryway?
Comments (10)If the siding is corrected and the ground is sloped away from your foundation and you have properly installed and functional weeping tile around your foundation, you won't have a leak. A cover over your front entry is a nice feature and will keep you dry while you're searching for your keys. But it's not meant to keep your foundation from leaking. If that were its purpose, you'd need a cover all the way around your house....See MoreHow can I improve the safety of entrance and stairs?
Comments (10)Wow, those do look like a hazard! I would consider painting the riser or the tread but it depends on the overall plan for the house. Did you want to repaint or restain the whole house? If this is a long process, then adding contrasting strips to the edges of the steps would help in the meantime. I also suspect you need more lighting as the entrance appears quite dark, even in the daytime. So it's either lightening via color or lighting via more illumination (maybe even both). Do the lights in the risers work? Take a picture that shows the entire front of the home for curb appeal suggestions. Describe what it is that you don't like. Your house color immediately made me think of light green plants as an accent. Maybe pots with Bells of Ireland, sweet potato vine......See Moretracefloyd
