Your "common" hallway is the perfect candidate for a thrifted wood door with majority glass inlay! Or if you can add more cut-outs to your existing door. That space needs light, but no privacy.
@@threadcreature4927 Always good to consider all angles, but a) as a Torontonian, the odds of that house getting burgled are VERY low (we still occasionally leave our doors unlocked up here); b) the burglar would then have to break through TWO additional locks to get into either unit; and c) (this is a personal perspective), but living your whole life in fear is really not worth it :)
Love the peg rail, but I would’ve just sealed it and kept the natural wood. I think the light wood would have added warmth and a bit more visual interest to the space.
I love when you do the beauty-youtuber thing where you hold something up with your hand behind it to focus, but instead of makeup its a power tool haha
I know same... like I want her house to be done so I can see all the finished areas, but at the same time I want her to buy another house so we can do this all over again LOL
I’m glad we’re letting future Kelsey summarize what past Kelsey says sometimes. I think that’s a good editing choice. Also that whole thing with the screws and studs is very chaotic, i love to see it. Why write anything down or take any pictures when you could just rewatch your old videos
Does anyone else think the color of the front door is really pretty?! I know she’s going to get a new door and paint it a different color, but I just actually love that shade of blue lol
I was hoping to find more info in the chat box... but I think so? But also, she’s Canadian, so maybe something happened there? I’m always impressed that other countries care about the news in other places..
I love how you show the reality of projects... how you start and stop and find your way through all the complications. It’s exactly how home projects always go! It’s never as straightforward as you expect.
I actually like this hall. Simple and calm, with some interest in the floor and plant. I added a peg rail to my entryway last year, but instead of pegs, I had black metal hooks from small wall hanger I took off and used on the rail instead. So it is modern, but rustic. I left the wood (cedar) plank unpainted.
Before I commented I checked the comments to see if any Aussies had already mentioned this. No point in her getting a million comments saying the same thing 😁
I'm so excited for the entryway, I remember when you talked in the beginning of the series about your ideas for it and I've been so excited to see it since!!!
@@szeptacz5342 rental properties are usually just fixed up to a bare minimum, but this goes through and reassures that the tenant will be living in a space that’s maintained in the best possible way!
@@szeptacz5342 A lot of landlords (especially in Toronto) don't actually live in the spaces they rent - so in this situation, being that this is Kelsey's home which she paid for, she's going to ensure it's in tip top shape, for her own security long term. Whoever rents from her, will get all the perks that come from someone that loves and cares about their space
I think I'm going to do mine in black! I photoshopped all the colors I was thinking, and black is just really classic and makes any wreath pop. A lot of people are doing yellow doors but I'm going to just go with a yellow wreath to change out with my mood 🙂
Kelsey, it's super inspiring to see you take on these projects on your own! My husband and I just bought a house and have been fixing it up and you make me feel like I can actually contribute to the renovations more than just doing final touches. Thank you!
I love this, Because I just purchased my first multi family property and I am currently doing similar home renovations and sharing my journey on my channel!! I actually did a similar tile design in my bathroom! Love u girls channel, been watching for years!
That stud finder that Rachel Metz has been pimping would've come in handy. Entryway looks great! I can't wait to see the new door and the color you choose.
So somebody already lives in the second unit?! That’s awesome! Congrats on almost being done with your home. This has been the best series yet, absolutely love everything you’ve done!
Wow! I love all of the renovations that you did in your backyard. Your knowledge of electrical is impressive! I’ve always been to chicken to do any of that. I love the fountain in the birdbath, with your Grandma’s rocks!! So cool! I love it all!
In Brazil we say "spot", that is curious because our language is Portuguese but many words we speak here haven't been translated like "playlist", "check-in", "email", etc.
Oh I actually never heard that. I was thinking really hard about how we call it, I only could think of "Deckenstrahler" 🤔 Edit: Just found out that those types of "Deckenstrahler" are called "Einbauleuchten/Einbaustrahler" (Deckenstrahler sind natürlich auch andere Zimmerlampen mit diesen Strahler-Birnen)
@@loveB2ST001 yeah I found "einbaustrahler" too. But I actually never heard that word before :D "spots" on the other hand is way more used. But I guess that's kinda typical German isn't it? A long exact word nobody uses 😂
It looks great. I love the old dept and feel the floor and "panel" gives the the space. The candles are a bit annoying - why are they hanging there... a key chain would seemed more in place :D
I dont know if youre already planning on doing this, but when you get the new front door please make sure to put that into a video pretty please, I really want see how you re do the door frame and such, thank you! LOVELY HOME!

Liberals did the same thing like 5 times over the course of the last few years. Not to mention destroying the country all year. If you denounce one, denounce all. As i do.
I just grabbed my phone to scroll a little bit to go be productive right after and then I get this notification... Of course the little bit is going to be half an hour now 'cause I live for makeovers! 😄
THE VISION you need to have for these spaces is unbelievable! 😱 So creative! I will be so sad when this series is over. But who am I kidding - if Kelsey is anything like Becky it will never be over. 😂
I loooove black and white hex tile to bring some character and style back into an older home, so I’m totally stealing this idea for my entry way!! It came out so good Kelsey.
Kelsey, the backyard looks amazing!!!! LOVE IT! The sliding doors were a great idea, loving the lighting. The choice for the trees was brilliant, the string lights...romantic. The whole project is GORGEOUS!!!!! Well done. Hello from Alberta, love your channel.
its a putty colour. they are known colloquially as pot lights in Canada but the proper name of them is Recessed Down Light since they are recessed into the ceiling and point down.

kelsey: it's cold outside but I'd rather do it out here and not get my house dusty
kelsey 10 mins later: *sanding down pegs in the living room*
OMGG I WAS THINKING THAT TOOO🤣🤣
We call them can lights! or recessed lighting here in the US.
Yeah recessed lighting is what I've always called them :)
Also in the US and we call them pocket lights
dang, came here to say the exact same thing :)
Yeah I call them can lights, my family actually just switched out a big light box in our kitchen for can lights.
we call the "build in spot" or just "spots" here in Denmark
I’ve always heard those “pot lights” called recessed lights or lighting. (I live in the U.S btw)
I call them can lights (US, Oklahoma)
Yea we call them pot lights/ recess lighting (Canada)
Recess yup
Can lights
I’m glad we’re letting future Kelsey summarize what past Kelsey says sometimes. I think that’s a good editing choice.
Also that whole thing with the screws and studs is very chaotic, i love to see it. Why write anything down or take any pictures when you could just rewatch your old videos
I think pictures would be way more efficient to look through, and probably give a better view.
@@jlammetje with pictures you could also go in and write measurements on them too
what a wildly passive aggressive comment

In Australia call it down lights , but in the Sims4 they call it “subtle saucer light” 😂
Yesss we need more Sims references please 😂
I put about 50 of them in each room haha
In US we call it recessed lighting
In the US, we also call them Can Lights
They spot lights in the uk ☺️
Around Europe in many countries is called "spotlight". Spot..something, the light is in the respective language of course.
Spotlicht in Dutch :-) often shortened to “spot” or “spotjes” (diminutive plural)
called recess lighting i think in america
In America they can also be called canned lighting
In Australia we call them downlight
In italian is "faretto" 😅 but I'm curious now on the different ways it is said in Europe!
Kelsey pointing her toes to hold onto the wood while sawing it was perfection.
I’m so glad this series is gonna be more like 20 videos long because idk what I’m gonna do when it’s over - I’m obsessed 😍
Get a new place and start over?? Lol
Does anyone else think the color of the front door is really pretty?! I know she’s going to get a new door and paint it a different color, but I just actually love that shade of blue lol
Yee i like the blue too
It’s Tardis/Pantone blue, I love it.
Me :-)
I liked it. Felt like that hall was so neutral that it was missing something. Maybe that something is a splash of color.
Yes! The inside of the door should be blue too!
Every time I see the double candles on the pegs, all I can think of is nunchucks.
I actually loved the "hangers" without paint ! loved the contrast of the natural wood with the paint and all. love the end result though, good job

My two cents: I think the front door needs to be black! When you opened it at one point and there was no light on it and it looked black! Wow!

What a great idea! I hope she sees this.
wow ty for teaching me that word, ive always known i wanted one in a future home but didnt know they had a name!
Especially a vintage one :)
Solving that problems is why they were invented. Love medallions.

The image of Kelsey holding the wood with her toes at 23:28 just sends meeeee!! That is so hilarious 😂😂
In Sweden we call them "spotlights" or "spottar", which is a swedish shortening of the english word :)
In the Netherlands we also call them spotlights! Or ‘spotjes’ ^^
Same in Germany, we call them ceiling spots, so "Deckenspots" in German
Also in Denmark. It’s just “spots”
it is a bit the same in belgium spot(jes) :)
In Brazil we say "spot", that is curious because our language is Portuguese but many words we speak here haven't been translated like "playlist", "check-in", "email", etc.
From personal experience it’s such a smaller headache to swap out the door frame at the same time as the door
In Germany it's "spot (light)" and we use this exact English term. I always thought that's what they called in your language too :'D
It's spotlight in the UK too. EDIT: actually it's not, that's just what I thought... i think they're called downlights in the uk

The tile is SO CUTE! Honestly your tenant is so lucky, subtle flex that their apartment was renovated by an interior designer like ?!?
From the US, and I’ve always called pot lights “can lights”.

Pot light is also called recessed lighting. In this country too lol
Thank you Canadians for empathizing for us!!! You gals are awesome and great and I will continue to watch all your vids!
We call them *spotjes* where "-jes" at the end of a dutch word being the "little" version of something, so it is like little spotlights 🤣🤣 🇳🇱
Wow! I’m in love. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d like the tile but it works! And that light really helped brighten the space!
Make life easy, buy a modded ceiling plate to cover larger hole. Something vintage style, that’s what I would do.
This has been my fave TSG series to date !! Love Kelsey’s thought process.
This reminds me of the hallways of the elementry school in the Netherlands, where I went when I was little!! It looks so cute, love it!
I thought the exact same thing!!
I totally cheered outloud when the light worked! It is a beautiful functional space.
They are called "Down lights" in Australia

Hello from Alberta, love your channel.
In the US I think they're mostly referred to as "can lights." Considering my dad is an electrician, you'd think I'd know this for sure, but I don't!

"At least one of us was focused" xD cracked up at that comment, brilliant excuse Kelsey!
i wish you didnt paint those hanging, instead wood stain it

Ugh I know! The poplar wood was such a gorgeous shade with the paint color...
Just keeping it as it was looked the best to me.

Someone get Kelsey a stud finder for her birthday
I thought this series was over and was so happy to see this video! I'll watch you decorate anything, I just need to get my fix!
