Are you always looking for new ideas to change your home d\u00e9cor?<\/span><\/p>\n Well, I certainly am! I am constantly searching for great budget-friendly ideas. Having owned a new house for barely four months, I was already looking for a brilliant way to revamp our small main entryway that I didn’t like at all, it really hadn’t received much love from the previous owners.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I told you I loved <\/span><\/span>changing up d\u00e9cor on a budget\u2026 and out of nowhere came an original, super inexpensive idea!<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s how my project was born. Having a few open containers of Colorantic paint lying around, along with some wainscoting (beadboard) and mouldings, I decided to create a signature Colorantic entryway!<\/span><\/p>\n Well yes, why not? Isn’t that a great idea!<\/span><\/p>\n Here are the inexpensive budget-friendly steps of my transformation which, by the way, took barely three hours of my time to complete, and of which I’m very proud. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-5.jpg” alt=”input” title_text=”2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”37470,37472,37474″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”45%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”List of products used” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”4px||4px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Divers produits Colorantic” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”20px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/en\/nos-produits\/” button_text=”Colorantic products” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” button_bg_color=”#ef6079″ button_border_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Steps” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|auto||auto|false|false” custom_padding=”10px||42px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Explications du processus” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”23px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The first and most important step is removing all decorative elements from the wall and filling all holes. So, I patched the holes and washed the surface to make sure it was squeaky clean.<\/span><\/p>\n Once the surface was well cleaned, I removed the baseboard at the bottom of the wall. Next, I measured the width of the wall and cut the six wainscoting boards to the required length.<\/span><\/p>\n I hesitated a lot about leaving the baseboard, but in the end, I don’t regret removing it\u2014I feel the wainscoting adds more value when installed all the way down to the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n Then, I cut my two mouldings at angles to the exact same length.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-3.jpg” alt=”single entry” title_text=”5″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Explications du processus” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||-98px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I was finally ready to paint the upper part of the wall! But before jumping into this step, I took care to apply green painter’s tape to protect adjacent walls and the ceiling.<\/span><\/p>\n Since black is my favorite color and serves as my accent tone at home, I decided to echo that shade in my entryway. I was very lucky because I had enough Night by Colorantic<\/b> left over to complete my project that very day. Colorantic chalk paint is a very thick paint that covers extremely well, so two coats were more than enough to cover the white wall.<\/span><\/p>\n Once the painting was finished, I gently removed the painter’s tape, and as soon as it was completely dry, I moved on to the next phase.<\/span><\/p>\n I installed the six wainscoting boards starting from the floor up. I used a nail gun, but you could also use silicone adhesive.<\/span><\/p>\n I also had some leftover paint in Cotton Ball<\/b>, which I used to paint the wainscoting. I applied two coats of this colour directly onto the wood boards.<\/span><\/p>\n Since Colorantic paint contains a light amount of built-in primer, I skipped adding a separate coat of primer before painting.<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udca1 Note: Colorantic paint dries in less than 30 minutes!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”logo Colorantic” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-5.jpg” alt=”input” title_text=”1″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Project completed” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”419.3px” custom_margin=”|auto||auto|false|false” custom_padding=”4px||7px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Explications du processus” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” min_height=”157px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Now that the paint is finished and the panelling installed, all that remains is to install the decorative mouldings. <\/span><\/p>\n I cut the two decorative mouldings to match the width of the wall. I installed one flat on the wall just above the panelling.<\/span><\/p>\n Then, to create a shelf effect, I placed the second moulding on top of the first. <\/span><\/p>\n In order to make the paint washable, given that this is a place frequented by the whole family, I applied two coats of matt varnish over the whole of my work. <\/span><\/p>\n Since we have five children at home, I installed five white hooks purchased from Colorantic. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”37500,37502,37504,37496,37506,37508″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”45%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Conclusion” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|auto||auto|false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-4.jpg” alt=”input” title_text=”4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texte” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It was on a rainy summer’s day that my idea to revamp my small entrance was born, and all in just a few hours. <\/span><\/p>\n With the addition of a few decorative elements, I have to say I’m pretty happy with the result!<\/span><\/p>\n So here’s an ordinary entry that’s become a spectacular one, thanks to Colorantic!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Andr\u00e9e-Anne Lacombe<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n Blogger <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/magasinez\/” button_text=”Store” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” button_bg_color=”#ef6079″ button_border_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/7.jpg” alt=”input” title_text=”7″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nList of products I used:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
