 Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. It is Drew here from Lone Fox, and I am so excited because first of all, you guys might not recognize this background because I have taken over my friend Hannah's apartment. She's actually currently in Rome right now, traveling and basically living her best life, which is kind of great and amazing. Me and Hannah actually have traveled before together. We went to Paris, Milan, Florence. I think those are all three places that we went to. It was super fun and she's actually back in Rome right now. So I asked if I could have her keys because I wanted to redo her little entryway in her apartment. Her apartment actually has like a really great vibe. I'm not gonna share that much of it, but as you can see, like she can decorate pretty good herself, but she's had this entryway space that I've wanted to do for a while now. And it was kind of cute because Hannah actually sent me a little video basically being like, please, can you redo my entryway? Hi, Drewby. Okay, so I know I talked to you about this before, but I seriously need help with my entryway. I've been living in this apartment since March, and it still just looks like this. It's empty and it's boring, and there's like so much potential, but I have no idea where to start. Can you please help me? So I asked Hannah if I could actually have her keys while she was gone. She gave them to me and then I'll be here when she gets back. I'm gonna do the makeover kind of towards the end of her trip, and I'm just really excited. So it's gonna be like a simple, little Parisian entry makeover. It's kind of just give me a lot of inspiration when it comes to colors, textures, silhouettes, styles, furniture pieces, things like that. I'm kind of going for a Scandinavian minimal slash Parisian vibe. I really am kind of focusing more on the Parisian element because Hannah loves Paris, and she actually maybe wants to move there one day, so I figured I'd give her a little taste of Paris right in her entryway. Right when she walks in, she could have her Parisian taste so that she stays in Los Angeles. So without further ado, let's get into today's makeover. All right guys, so I wanna share with you kind of what Hannah's entryway looks like, and this is the door to enter her apartment, and then there's kind of like this hallway area here, which I think I might do some stuff with, but I'm not entirely sure, just because there is also all of this space. But over here, Hannah has this console table here, and I actually wanna keep this because I feel like this is such a great size for this space. It seems to fit nicely. I don't see nothing wrong with it. And then move these here because I wanna hang up some art that I got from Desenio, which I am so excited about. And then basically when you look down the hallway, it kind of goes back into her apartment, which is so light and bright, but this kind of nook over here is a little bit darker, so we're gonna have to figure out how to brighten this up. I wanna jump right in with honestly my favorite part of this makeover, which is the artwork, which was in collaboration, or this video is actually in collaboration with Desenio. And I have heard about Desenio so many times, I've gone on their website multiple times in the past, but honestly, when I went on their site, I was kind of nervous to place an order because I knew that the shipments were coming from overseas. However, when they reached out, I was like, let's do this. And literally, I swear to you, these pieces got here instantly, within two days, perfect quality, amazing packaging, nothing came broke, everything came beautifully packaged. It was all great. I actually ended up getting four different posters in different sizes. I got a Kate Moss one, I got a girl under a bridge, I got a Parisian quote, and then I got a little line art one as well. And I'll make sure to link all the ones I did receive in the description box below. La piote de la mache de la. Desenio was also super, super kind and they gave me a 25% off coupon for you guys. So if you head over to their site, you can get 25% off of any of the posters. This does not include custom pieces or frames. It's just for the posters. So you get 25% off using a code LONENFOX at checkout. They should definitely make this into a poster as well. I think they should. And this is valid until October 31st. So make sure you get your hands on these posters quick. Okay, so I have the prints framed and they look so incredibly amazing. Like, look at this guys. I've wanted this picture for so long so I might have to seal it or purchase another one from Desenio after this video. So inside of Hannah's apartment, she has a lot of really cool random pieces and I found this frame just sitting there. So I'm gonna text her and ask her if I can use this for a DIY because I think this would be such a good base for this mirror that I wanna create and I haven't made able to find the perfect base for it. So I have a feeling this can work really, really well. So hopefully she'll let me use it. Look how pretty it is though. It's like vintage looking. Okay, so I'm back at Hannah's apartment. I didn't do much yesterday as you guys probably saw because those clips are probably super, super short but I wanted to get an idea for what I was working with and then last night I actually ended up going shopping. I went to Creighton Barrel and Target to get a couple of things. All right guys, so I'm actually on my phone right now because I'm heading into CB2. I'm gonna pick up a couple of items for Hannah's apartment makeover that I'm really excited about. Just walked in and met the sweetest girl that literally watches my channel and said that she applied at CB2 because she heard about the store from watching one of my videos, which is crazy. See, I'm the worst vlogger in the entire world but I'm now at Target and I actually found this ottoman which is perfect for the space. They only had one here on this wall over here. Just able to find an ottoman which is great because I wanted to do like some form of small bench and CB2 didn't have the bench that I wanted in stock. The first thing I wanna do is hang these up to kind of get a basis for what I am working with. And now it's time to hang up the art prints which I was so excited about this. So I pulled off the two original ones Hannah had there and then I went ahead and I added my Desenio art prints. So I just winged this, I literally used my ruler and just marked where I thought they should go, hung them up and we were good. I absolutely love this Kate Moss one. It is my favorite one for sure. I got it in the largest size. I also got a little Parisian quote. I just got a couple of them to make kind of like a gallery wall which I've shared with you guys how I've done this before I have a video that is my living room makeover and I have so many tips and tricks on hanging a gallery wall but this is what it ended up looking like. I am obsessed with it. Good work and it looks amazing. Oh, this is so graphic and pretty and it just reminds me of a Parisian apartment to start with. And then right over here it's gonna be where the console is. I just took it away, I cleaned it and then I'm also gonna clean the floor a little bit as well and then I'm gonna pull the console back in and style this whole console area because it's kind of gonna be a main focal point as well of the entryway. So as you guys know, I stole this frame from Hannah but look what I created from it. I think it's one of my favorite DIY projects that I've actually ever created. I think it's so pretty. It reminds me of one of those mirrors that I shared with you guys in my inspo pictures. So let me share with you exactly how I created this mirror. To create this stunning Parisian inspired mirror I actually used these Amazon molds which I will link below for you guys. I also used a bit of air dry clay but I do suggest actually not using air dry clay and to actually use like a traditional oven bake clay because it's a lot stronger. The air dry clay I realized is not as strong. It did work for the project but if I was to do this again I would 100% use either the oven bake clay or a resin. So basically what I'm starting off by doing is I'm filling the mold up with the clay. You're just gonna press it into the entire mold, flip it over, press it onto a surface and then pull off your mold. Pretty easy and self-explanatory. And then once I have those off I actually created a total of 12 of them so I did six of each of them. I then used an exacto knife just to pick around any of the edges that might have had a little bit of leftover clay and then you're just gonna let these dry overnight. Of course this is just for the air dry version. If you do the oven bake you can just bake them and you're good to go. So these are all of my little filigree swirls. So next I used my favorite brass paint which is like a gilded brass paint. It is so pretty and I painted all of my swirls with this brass paint. You only have to do one coat because it is pretty opaque and very full coverage. And the great thing I like about this paint as well is that it dries instantly so it's super, super nice to work with. So I went ahead and painted all of my filigree swirls. Once those were all painted I picked up this mirror at the craft store but they did not have a mirror that fit perfectly inside which I kind of had an idea they probably wouldn't. So I had to actually ease 6,000 this on and I added a bit of hot glue just to hold it in place while it glued. But as you can see the mirror did not sit flat at all so what I had to do which I actually kind of liked this in the end is I filled all of the gaps with more clay which I just think adds a very handmade element to this mirror. I used a ruler to create a very clean edge and then I also went over the top of it with my fingers just to make sure that everything was nice and smooth. But I had to fill in all the gaps this just made it look so much cleaner and then once all those gaps were filled in I went ahead and I glued down my filigree swirls and these were honestly just glued however I felt looked nice. I used an E6000 again just to hold them in place so that they're super strong bond. There really was no rhyme or reason to my placement I just wanted it to look very grand and pretty so I just kind of rotated the swirls into a position that I liked and I also did paint that inside clay border with the same brass paint and used some mounting strips that are heavy duty to mount this on the wall. The mirror looks so pretty you guys. Look at me and Kate by the way I need to stop talking about Kate you know this is my video but I am absolutely obsessed with that's gonna clean the fingerprints off look how pretty it turned out. It reminds me so much of my inspo picture and it was super simple to make it was a little bit time consuming but the outcome is so pretty. Since Hannah doesn't have a boyfriend I got her this which is a perfect boyfriend for her. I just went to the downtown target which is actually my target when I lived downtown because I don't think I started I did start my channel when I lived downtown I lived here for five years. I got this nice runner for Hannah's hallway because I feel like it just needed a little bit of texture on the floor. I gotta head back put this down and I think that we're gonna be done. I have finished the space it looks so so pretty. Honestly I didn't do it too much to it but I think what I did do was really impactful I love am completely obsessed with the DIY mirror all the decennial art prints look incredible and Hannah is actually in the building downstairs right now. It's not gonna be like any insane reveal so I don't want you guys to think like I'm just like trying to do some crazy reveal but I did want to just like reveal it to her because I'm here anyway so it might as well just be fun to capture her reaction on camera so let's see what Hannah has to think about this. Do you like it? Is it a very Parisian? Very Hannah? I just, I love it. Look I made this mirror for you Hannah. No I did, yes I did. That's your frame I said. I have to clean it still. I just realized I did not clean it so we are gonna clean it. It looks so good. Oh my gosh. Really, you made that? Yeah I made it out of clay kind of good right? Wow, why are you so good at this? I don't, maybe she's born with it. And then I give you some hooks over there. I didn't do much like I definitely like just added like a couple things but I think it's like really I think the art prints are really what steals the shot right? It's insane. So pretty. My selection of shoes is insane. I know I pulled them out of your closet. Oh my God. How is Roma? Amazing. Really? I don't even want more pasta. Oh wow. You should have brought me some. Do you have any in there? I do, it's full of spaghetti just for you. Perfect, amazing, thank you. All right so that was Hannah's little miniature entryway apartment makeover.
