DIY Storage Bench with Flip Top--And a Hallway Makeover Project!

Hey friends, in this video, I'm sharing a few fun DIYs I hope you enjoy watching!

Our hallway was not living up to it's full potential both in style and function, so I decided to give it a makeover with new trim, fresh paint, new hardware, a built in storage bench, and a picture frame molding wall treatment.

I've crammed the entire before, during and after into this video and I hope you enjoy watching the process and also learn a few things along the way!
