Decor Dilemma {Hallway Re-do}

Happy Monday friends!!

 

Yet again another snow day....

 

I hoping all this cold and snow will bring for a nice, dry summer!!

 

I decided to share with you a project that has been in the making for some

 

time now. It's an area of our home that has the most traffic and the least bit

 

of function.... It has five doors and two very small walls that are, to say the

 

least, extremely hard to work with.

 

Yup, you guessed it. The one and only hallway in our home.

 

We live in a small cape and when we purchased the home we got rid

 

of a lot of walls and made the first floor an open floor plan. This one

 

hallway leads to our one and only bathroom, the master bedroom, the office/

 

mudroom, the basement and a very small linen closet. One of  the walls also

 

happens to be the wall directly across from the front door so its the first

 

wall you see when you enter....

 

That being said... lets get to the pictures.....

 

 

 

Ok, pretty sad right.... I actually just re-painted and

 

this is what is looks like today....

 

 

 

I love this wall color and I think the stripes add interest and a little depth.

 

This wall is so very hard to work with because of all the electrical units so

 

I am in the process of putting up the gallery wall... not an easy task,

 

especially with an nineteen month old running around!

 

I also need a great light fixture to brighten up this space a little more and

 

also a runner to make the tiny space feel a bit more cozy....

 

Here are some of the ceiling mounts I am loving right now...

These last four are all from Shades of Light and I wish I had room for them

 

all!! My favorite has to be the crown, but I'm not sure it will work with this

 

space.... I have a lot of decisions to make! I also need to find the perfect

 

photo arrangement for the wall across from the front door....

 

This picture remains in my head but I just need to find a smaller and

 

inexpensive way to replicate it.

I love the look of black and white and the fact that there are no frames

 

to disrupt the theme.... They also seem to be a collage of pictures from

 

one specific event....

 

Stay tuned to see what I end up putting on that wall and the hallway update

 

coming soon!!

 

Happy Snow Day!!!
