Hallway Handiwork

I really can't believe it took us this long to finally make our hallway look nice. When we moved into our 1960's home nearly 4 years ago it was bathed in this horrific peach paint...everywhere. They clearly stopped at the 50% off paint table at Home Depot before they put it up on the market. When we got into the house we did a lot of work, but ran out of gas before we hit the entry/hallway, and they've been standing that way ever since.

So with a little fire lit under us (baby coming) we tackled the nursery and the afore mentioned hall and entry. I framed up some photo's, D threw up a new lighting fixture and mirror and it feels so much better. We still have a few more prints to hang and we'll eventually pull up the carpet, refinish the hardwoods, scrape the popcorn ceilings, and replace the doors but I am totally happy right now to leave it as is for a while. I'm gonna have to do a "to be continued" on the nursery as it's still a disaster and not even close to being finished, but we've got time.


p.s. please don't worry when you see me holding that paintbrush, we bought the crazy expensive Zero VOC no odor paint...
