On Saturday I decided to do a quick afternoon entrance hall mini makeover. All it took was repurposing an old mirror back to its more natural roots to add warmth and dimension to the space with a TV cabinet from another room to add storage and spot to drop the things that always end up on the dining table.

I sprayed the badly painted wicker frame back to a natural beige in about 10 minutes.

Moving from a larger home to a cottage with less storage has meant finding ways to hide the things we need that don’t always look pretty and these items have done the trick. The small TV cabinet was a marketplace find for only R300 in South Africa and the mirror was left behind by previous tenants that no longer wanted it. #winforus

Here’s the before!

The front door was painted last summer to freshen it up. And the floors were tiled about a year ago (they were painted concrete before)

And one more after.

I love with our cute space that now welcomes everyone that walks through our front door.

As @bluefinstudios says, commenting is very important here. 2nd posts typically do badly and the euphoria about 'earning something' can completely disappear fast... so I gave you a vote on your 2nd post. :)

I really appreciate it! Now I’m figuring out how to get more power so I can keep commenting and voting for you all as well!

I delegated a little HIVE to you, I will take it back once you are on your feet...

Every time you perform an action is uses some RC's, yours is now at 77.36% and enough to keep you going. It regenerates over time. You can check your stats using https://hivetasks.com/@zo3d. Just ignore the error, its a bit flaky at times but works.

Some tips.. don't post so much, once a day is enough. We only have so much voting power, and as I said.. respond to comments. You will get a lot more fans that way.

Oh my gosh I really appreciate it! Thank you. Ok 1 post a day sir! Will do.

It's a steep leaning curve on here.. and it scares many off. Try this.. I wrote it a few months ago.

Read and noted!

Nice job!

just a little tip about hive:

As important as posting is, it is even more important to COMMENT on people's posts, engage and comment back to people who comment on your own posts! COMMENTING and Engaging is where you find more followers, and that brings in more votes!

Thanks! I tried to comment last night but it wouldnt let me post my comments - ran out of power it seems. I’m not sure what all the limits are on these things yet.

Simple and welcoming. I like it !

Thank you! Photos are always deceiving though - just to the right and behind me was a huge mess on the couch and my dogs had been eating their breakfast on my carpet! Life is funny.

That made me laugh ! I do understand. Sometimes I have one area perfect and it doesn't match the rest of my house at the time.
