- Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles
and you guys have been asking me for this video forever
and you're finally gonna get it today
which is kind of my entry and family room tour.
So come on in with me and let's go inside.
If you guys haven't already subscribed
to the channel, be sure to do that
by clicking the button right here and here we go.
(exciting music)
Are you ready?
- [Camera Person] I'm filming. (laughs)
- Okay, welcome to the entry.
You guys know that a year ago we had
a massive dishwasher flood in the kitchen,
so we had to replace all the hardwood.
We moved out for three months.
So we've just been slowly trying to put rooms back together.
I mean, it's taken a year to get
to this point, so it's been slow.
So this is the entry.
You can see we have these giant, crazy tall ceilings.
So they did some really beautiful wood paneling woodwork
on the walls to help just not have bare walls all over.
But when we went to replacing the furniture
for the entry we had before kind of some cabinets similar
to this and then just like a lamp
and it just felt like it wasn't grand enough or tall enough.
So I had my friend Susie from Graystone Salvage come in.
She's really great.
I have several friends that are very talented
when it comes to decorating homes.
So I get their advice
and their opinions, have them come help me.
And she came and designed the entry spaces.
So we found these little beauties at Round Top
which is a great, really fun kind
of home decor antique show here in Texas.
It's down by Austin.
And we actually found some lookalikes on anthropology.
So I'll put links to those in the comment
or in the description box below
for you guys if you wanna find them.
These lamps were from Our House.
They're just these really fun terracotta.
They have some wicker handles.
We put some baskets and some greens on
and we found these giant, very tall skinny mirrors
from Hobby Lobby.
So I will link everything I can.
The Hobby Lobby mirrors is shop in-store only.
So some of the things you just have to go in store to find.
On this side we basically repeated.
W we kind of wanted them to be similar
but not exactly the same.
So on this side we did the mirror,
the little sideboard, again, the same lamp
but we changed out the floral or the greens.
We did a Turkish bowl here just
with some moss and then some faux plants.
I am terrible about watering plants
so they have to be faux with my house.
And then I have this very, you can see it's for dog leashes
and dog toys and shoes
and all the dog things, little basket hiding.
So that's basically the entry decor right next to the door.
You can see that I have this giant door.
So we wanted one on each side
but if you only had one wall next to your door
certainly just one of these would work too.
Okay, in my entry next
to the stairs we always have these little stair baskets.
They're shaped like stairs, which I love.
And they just sit here
and anytime I find things
that gotta go upstairs, we deposit in the baskets
and then the next time we go up we take them with us.
So lots of kids things end up there.
Ellie just taking a naper.
Okay over here we have just kind of the entry table.
I had this rug from before and this table
from before the flood.
So nothing's really changed on those
and they're several years old.
I will link them if I can find them for you.
They decided to stack some books.
This is just a variety of books I had.
Some I had, some I got from one another one
of my friend House Sprucing, some of the stuff is
from her design center.
So this little piece here, this little bowl,
these beads and this jug are all from House Sprucing
as well as these great feathers.
And then this is an antique vase
that Susie found at Round Top, I believe.
So these little ottomans are one of my new favorites.
We got these from Heather at House Sprucing.
But I love the shape of them.
I like that you can kind of see
through them when you're walking in the house.
But they have a really fun shape
and they're still durable and wearable
for my kids and family to interact with
'cause children, dogs, all the things.
I gotta have stuff that lasts.
Oh, one thing I do like.
Somebody suggested putting something else in here
that would not block the view.
But I personally always, I kind of like
that it blocks the view a little tiny bit
because this feeds right into my family room
and sometimes I don't want everyone
to just instantly see the mess.
So family room, most of the pieces
in here, I'll show you which ones, are from Our House.
If you guys don't already know this
Our House does free design work so they'll come
to your house, mock something up for you.
They'll use their pieces obviously
and show you this great design.
And I loved what they had kind of done with it.
Okay rug, I found online.
Again, we have dogs and lots of kids
so this rug is super durable, which I required.
And I don't like spending a ton of money
on my rugs 'cause I just don't feel like they last forever.
So this rug was very affordable.
The couch.
This one was actually one of the more expensive items
but it's called, hmm, what do they call it?
Something like not Teflon.
I don't know.
There's some fabric kryptonite, crypton,
something like that.
- [Camera Person] Mindy's just making up fabric names.
Don't Google those things. - No, I swear.
- I don't know what'll pop up. - It's called
something crazy.
It reminds me of Superman
so it must be like kryptonite or something.
Anyway, it's very durable
and it's got a lifetime warranty on it.
So for me with pet paws and shoes
or whatever, I was excited about it.
But each of these sections also leans out
and the headrests come up, which I love.
And also big for me was that it's not pillows
on the backs of the couches
because our dogs always climb on them
and then the pillows are all scrunched
and squished and flat.
So I loved that this, the back was actually part
of the couch.
Love this.
So far I really do love, love, love this couch.
Coffee tables are from House Sprucing.
I, again, I'll put links to anything I can find.
But they're a little squattier and I also like
that they didn't feel too fancy
'cause I want this space to feel very warm
and comfortable and inviting
and somewhere where people can put their feet on the table
and I'm not gonna panic.
This little chain link wicker set was from House Sprucing.
The candles and bases are from House Sprucing.
The bowl I believe is Pottery Barn.
So I will look those up and link them for you.
I also think that pot
and the greens were Pottery Barn as well.
The chairs, I love these because they swivel
and so you can watch TV from them like this.
Or my personal favorite is always chilling like this
with a book when I'm cold 'cause it's right by the fireplace
and it's nice and toasty and warm
or you can turn it this way.
So I just think it was really effective to have them swivel.
I also love the leather 'cause it's very pet friendly
and it lasts a long time, wears well.
Those were Our House.
This cute little side table was from House Sprucing.
Pillows, they're kind of a mix in that
between House Sprucing and Graystone Salvage.
House Sprucing.
I feel like Graystone salvage finds kind of these one
of a kind pillows and House Sprucing's really great
at giving your foundational pillows.
So it's a really fun mix.
I don't know where I got this, I think it was World Market
but I'll look it up and find it for you.
And this table I had from before the flood.
So this one's been here a hot minute.
- [Camera Person] BF,
before the flood. - Before the flood.
- [Camera Person] What you got hiding in here?
Coasters. - Okay, don't look.
This is not pretty guys. - But it's a tip.
It's a tip.
Look, you would've no idea that's in there
from the outside. - Closing the blinds.
- But it's like hide
all your stuff right there. - This is the blind remote.
Some coasters.
Look at what this remote does.
- Ooh, ooh, ooh. - This is sets the mood.
- [Camera Person] Ooh, here we go, here we go, here we go.
- See these?
In the evening.
We've lit these on and it's all cozy
and fun like little bistro lights inside.
We put these up
for Brooklyn's bridal shower remember last year?
And then we just were like we don't
really wanna take them down.
- [Camera Person] I love them.
Not gonna lie to you.
- So there you go.
I got these coasters for Christmas from one of my coworkers.
I love them so much.
They're all our puppies.
- [Camera Person] Puppies.
- So these before the flood, we had giant cabinets here.
After the flood we wanted to change it up.
So we got these really fun sideboards.
I love the texture detail on the doors.
And then these massive mirrors, they're crazy heavy.
So we have them secured to the wall at the top so
that they won't tip or anything up.
I think it really turned out beautifully
with the reflections bouncing back to the kitchen.
These were both from Our House, those two pieces.
The decor on the top, I'm pretty sure this is Pottery Barn.
And some green Suzy found for me, Pottery Barn.
And I can't remember where I got these,
but I'll find out and link them.
The fireplace, this is an old antique box that Susie found
from that local antique store.
Some logs in it.
We got the framed TV, which I also love, love, love.
If you need a TV, highly recommend the Samsung frame
because you can buy these frames
that just literally takes two seconds to snap them on.
And then we downloaded a piece of artwork
that matched the family room
and I just feel like the whole thing then blends
and doesn't look like a TV, which is awesome.
On this side, again, same thing, kind of mirrored it.
Again, the same pot and greens.
We did this really fun wooden, just kind of more,
- Collective? - like a more of an art piece.
- She's an art collector now. - Like a piece
of an art, wooden, no.
Piece like this, just fun little wooden thing.
- Sculpture. - Sculpture, sure.
Let's go with sculpture,
- [Camera Person] That's the word you couldn't find?
- This bowl and these cute little glass jars.
- These are fun. - And again I think
what's fun here is just the variance in texture.
Like you have lots of different, you have some
I don't know, I like the changes in texture.
I think it just makes it feel softer and a little warmer.
- [Camera Person] So pretty.
Okay.
- Over here hiding on this side is our dog.
It's an old antique carpenter's tray
but we use it as our dog toy center.
And literally our dogs know to come get their toys over here
and drag them all over the house.
This is a old, some kind of antique, probably feed.
They used to probably have feed
in it for horses or cattle or grains.
But we use it as a blanket bin.
So we just hide all of our blankets in here.
When you need one and you wanna get cozy
that's where you find them.
And then on this side of the room, Dax's little workstation.
We don't like our kids to have access
to computers in their bedrooms or away from the family.
So this is just a Pottery Barn table
and chair that kind of matches.
Don't look too close at all the fingerprints guys.
We have some books and just a little pot and plant.
And these are really fun.
These are new.
So this is a 1916 sheet
from a newspaper and a 1919 from the New York Times.
And what I love about it is that you can see
how much the apartments on Madison Avenue were renting
or selling for which it's really fun to look at.
And on this paper.
- [Camera Person] 11 rooms?
- Yeah, I know, right? - For $5,200.
You can't even get - What are they renting
a whole hotel? - a single room for $5,200
- I know. - it feels like now
in New York. - But look at these.
These are cool summer frocks for misses.
$15 for the full frock.
This one look at $6.95 for a full junior frock.
But the wording was funny.
Check this one out, "For comfort on a hot summer day.
What is better than a cap?
They are as light and cool
as a snowflake and by far the best value in New York today."
- Woo-hoo. - I know.
So even just looking at some of the wordings, really.
- [Camera Person] Those are real like old school.
- These are real.
They've obviously been framed by,
- So fun. - Susie had them framed
in the Hobby Lobby.
- So fun. - Very cool.
On this side of the couch, we got this big old long table
behind the couch.
It's kind of a more organic type of wood look to it.
I found these, they call them rainbow ottomans
'cause they're shaped kind of like rainbows
but they're that boucle almost
or almost they're not really a Sherpa.
- [Camera Person] Boucle is trending this year in design.
- They're more of a boucle fabric.
And they obviously just sit here.
People can sit here if they want and do whatever work.
- [Camera Person] That's where Ryan likes to sit to work.
- Yeah.
Have this fun old suitcase,
this really cool old dictionary.
My kids were literally like,
- Is this for real? - Yes, it's for real.
- This is real. - Yes, it's for real.
- I always thought it was just like one
of those ones that, whoa,
that was empty inside. - No, it's for real, no.
- [Camera Person] Wait, that is so cool.
- [Mindy] So my kids, look at the cars in here.
- That is so cool. - Look how old they are.
I know.
It's very cool.
You can see it's super old, which I love.
1950.
- [Camera Person] Yeah, that's really cool.
- Anyway, my kids literally like, what's that?
- I don't think I knew
that was real. - I'm like
that's a dictionary.
And then this cute little olive tree
that Susie helped us plant into a prettier pot
and make it look really nice.
So that's it.
And I feel like the two blend.
You guys have seen the kitchen video before.
If you haven't seen the kitchen tour video,
I will link it right here on the screen somewhere.
- [Camera Person] Quick sneak peek, whoop.
- Sneak peek. - But watch the video
for the whole thing.
- But I do feel like they blend really beautifully.
Like the concretey look with the stone
and the woods and it just kind of all really blends nicely.
What do you think?
Let me know in the comments below.
