YOUR entryway is the first thing people see when they walk into your home, so of course, they will immediately form an opinion of your home depending on how you decorate it.
One DIY fan has used her entryway to greet her houseguests in a creative, yet literal, way.
Alyssa Smith shared how she painted her entry floor in a video and how well it has lasted a year later.
In one video, Smith showed how she painted her entryway tiles with a black-and-white message that says “hey.”
Using leftover deck and house paint, she first applied a layer of white paint as a base.
Then, she painted her “tiles” using black paint and a honeycomb stencil and used white paint to write “hey” onto the floor.
Lastly, Smith painted on a layer of super durable polyurethane to seal everything in.
In another video, Smith explained: “Everyone thought I was crazy for painting my entry floor, so it’s been over a year since I did it so let’s see where I started and where it is now.”
A year later, Smith said her painted floor is in pretty good condition, despite getting a lot of traffic every day.
She also wrote that her floor only cost her $15.
