I can’t believe that tomorrow is the Final Reveal!! I’m so excited to share everything with you, but before we do that I wanted to share a special installation video. I installed the Emtek EMPowered™ Motorized Touchscreen SMART Keypad Entry Set on my entry door and I wanted to talk about why I chose it, what I think of it, and how it was to install. And note that we, myself and Stay N Focus Images, did this in the midst of the high of COVID-19 in New Jersey and I was in dire need of a haircut so pardon my appearance (ha!).
The reality is that your entry is incredibly important because it sets the tone for the rest of your home. This is the first impression to everyone that enters. And as always functionality is key. I wanted a keyless option that allowed me to lock and unlock the door from my phone, allowed me to confirm whether it was closed vs unlocked, and where I could set up pins for other people to enter and be able to track that activity. What should you keep in mind before installation? It should occur before painting is done. You want to make sure that your hardware is properly in place to ensure that once there’s in full coverage where the old hardware used to be. Now for the installation:
Here’s what I think, I love it. I chose the Baden Grip on the entry side for ease and the Helios Lever for the exit side. I chose levers literally for every door in the house because for someone who always has something in hand it’s easier to push a lever with an elbow rather than turn a knob.
AFTER: Entry Side showing the Baden Grip after painting and wallpaper.
AFTER: Now you may enter while enjoying Boho wallpaper vibes.
Note that I also upgraded the hardware on the door that leads to my garage with EMTEK’s Helios Key in Leverset with Square Key in Rosette. Stay tuned for the full reveal tomorrow!

The One Room Challenge is such a great way to see how small technical upgrades can completely transform a space. Adding a smart keypad is a brilliant move for both security and modernizing an entryway. It’s the kind of upgrade that makes a property feel so much more accessible and high-end. I’ve noticed that premium Massanutten resort lodging often utilizes similar smart entry systems to ensure a smooth, keyless experience for guests. Whether you are at home or staying at a destination like Massanutten Resort, these types of thoughtful details really elevate the overall comfort and convenience. Thanks for the detailed installation breakdown!
The gameplay mechanics in geometry dash are easy to understand but extremely difficult to master. The player usually controls a cube that jumps when the screen is tapped or a key is pressed. Timing is everything, as jumps must occur at the exact moment to clear spikes, gaps, and moving platforms.
Gardening tools from Home Mart support organized outdoor work. Options are aligned by function. Structure follows consistent layout.
This installation looks fantastic — such a great blend of style and technology! I love how intuitive the Smart Keypad is, and the step-by-step photos really help visualize the process. Articles like this are so helpful for anyone considering an upgrade at home.
