Hallway Reveal (if you can call it that.)

A few days ago, I left all 5 of you hanging when I said we were doing something fun in our hallway.

The next day, we had horrible thunderstorms and lost internet for a few days. We're back now, so... drumroll please!

Before



After










The darker wall stripe is Taupe 3 and the lighter is Stone 2, both by Valspar.

In total, we transformed the hallway for about $15.00 We had the Taupe 3, leftover from Harper's room. The chandelier was given to us by my mother-in-law. All of the decor, we already had. The only thing we had to buy was a small can of Stone 2, which was about $15.00

At first, we were wondering if the colors were too similar and not noticeable. Once it all dried though, it turned out just the way we wanted. Subtle and not in-your-face as soon as you walk in. A lot our family members didn't even notice at Hollin's Dedication Day lunch!

There are lots of "whoops" areas where the paint dripped, or got onto the baseboards, but we weren't very careful on purpose. Unfortunately, ALL of the trim in the house has to be repainted because it is almost beige in some areas.

I would like to replace the cheap Wal-Mart mirror with some sort of sunburst mirror.


We are planning to replace the dark tile with something light and simple.


I'm looking forward to changing out the decor on the entry table as the holidays and seasons change.

Stay tuned for our office (semi) makeover!!
