I started ‘construction’ on the entry way this weekend. I am going to start with just the bench this weekend and build up from there.
The built ins have not been doing their job of keeping the entry way looking picked up — definitely time to get to them a finished/ish state so it can get picked up.
I went to Menards and used on of my rebates to buy some more white paint and enough shiplap to finish the structure. I got everything built and the edge banding ironed on (I do not like how this turned out… with the gaps between the plywood, it looks wrinkled.
I painted and hung up the hardware and started putting the wallpaper in for the cubbies. I decided to make the bottom right into little shelves so that I can put shoes there. I’ll need to paint the shelf pieces, but will probably leave them as is for a little while…
The wallpaper hanging was a process… and the edge banding wrinkles showed up though the wallpaper, so I don’t completely love it, but it’s likable enough! I think I have one more day of work with hanging the wallpaper before I call it and leave it as is until I build the cabinet pieces on top… a long time from now.
