Modern Farmhouse Style Entryway Makeover With *Tons* Of Storage

Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. Today I'm tackling a very narrow entryway that opens up into the living room space. How do you make an entryway like this pretty and functional? I have so many tips packed into the video, plus we even makeover the staircase with a runner!

That was the best entryway design I've seen. Everyone will be copying. Putting hooks under the shelf makes the coats and bags feel like a feature. And you brought so much warmth to a very sterile-feeling space. 💯

Poor Graham! Every time he handles a mirror, that broken mirror footage! 🤣😂 We love you, Graham! Fantastic outcome, as always!♥️

Appreciate the fact that Graham is really coaching Alexandra through all these new build and installs. Reminds me of my dad helping me learn how to use all the tools, including the table saw! Love to see you growing in your skills Alexandra ❤

I'm actively geeking out over the sheer glow-up that this entryway underwent. The shoe cabinet turned out so beautifully and fits the space perfectly. You and your team have been knocking it out of the park each week, Alexandra! Can't wait to see what y'all do next.

Does anyone else want to move to Toronto just to have the small chance of having the awesome Team AG makeover their space?.... Just me? 😅 at least there are virtual makeover packages.

One word. Graham. I cannot get enough of his talents. Team AG is my absolute favorite design team. Alexandra, you are a gem. A diamond!

[lamarquesita]

Love your videos, have been following you for years and lately I have surprised myself waiting for a new of your videos. I think the team you have curated has made your content awesome and it is being noticeable in every latest video!!! Congrats, not that my opinion is going to change anything, but keep the good work!!!!

I love this entryway. As a wheelchair user, this unit is accessible and functional for multiple people. Can’t wait for the next vid!

Beautiful entryway! Alexandra’s design talent and Graham’s building skills can’t be beat! Well done, TeamAG 👏👏👏

[donnahutchinson]

I just can not express how astonishing Grahams work is. He takes your ideas and brings them into being. Great job Graham and team A G. Alexandra you just knocked this entrance out. It looks like it has always belonged there.

I didn’t think team ag could make an entryway makeover seem interesting, but they did and I happily watched the whole darn thing. Thank you!

[loretta]

Every time I watch a new episode I say to myself, "I need a Graham in my life!" especially since my father passed away. He was a carpenter and supported my creative projects - I miss him in more ways than one! I love this makeover, great job team!

I really love that I have a Saturday morning cartoon. I look forward to this and my unhurried Saturday morning coffee all week.

[liarsandcrooks]

Just wanna say that I love the thought, time and care you put into making the customized furniture in all your videos. They just keep getting better and better and look truly professional.

[anushrirajhansa]

I have tried and failed to find more YouTubers who present a makeover like you do. The way these videos are presented, your ideas, the process, the end result.. everything is just so streamlined and so so interesting. Hats off to you and your team

[tynaedwards]

What a warm and inviting entryway! Love everything about it. You and Graham work so well together. Just a great team.

[dyanalayng]

I love that you varied the black & white theme for the entry tiles just a little bit to "marble". What a great transformation in general. Didn't think you had room to do anything there. Good work! 💖💕

I never thought I would freak out over a shoe cabinet until I saw this video. Graham is the GOAT, and I’m obsessed with the scalloped runner on the stairs; I never would’ve thought to do that. Those were things in this makeover that made me gasp. I also laughed at the “we’re at finishing touches?! Holy s*it!” That was hilarious. I loved this video; it was a joy to watch, and the final result was amazing. Entry ways deserve to be beautiful too.

[carltongirl]

That entry hall looks amazing after your renovation I'm sure your client's love it as well...that green is beautiful and goes perfectly with that stair runner...and how good does that shoe cabinet look...well done team AG for another masterpiece 💜🇦🇺

[fleurjardin]

The storage unit you built is amazing!! It provides lots of storage but hardly takes any space at all. The space is practical and beautiful!

[dianeangelo]

Love what you did to make the entry way functional. The shoe cabinet is perfect, the color...chef's kiss. Side note....I am sure you know, but Graham is indispensable IMO. The way he is able to take your vision and make it work is always amazing to me.
