Boring Hallway Becomes MUCH more welcoming

Before: Chair rail needed some paint.

Before: Blah blah boring WHITE on walls.

Before: Boring arrangement of pictures.....

AFTER: Chair rail painted white (Kilz Paint..Color: Autumn Breeze). Walls painted to warm up the space (Valspar Paint..Color: Bungalow Gold from the Eddie Bauer collection). Phrase on the wall ...Walligraphy..."It doesn't get much better than this!"

After: I added a potting chair that I painted black (spray paint...gloss). I made the wallpaper covered canvas that I already had. {Take a peek into my den...I've already started priming that brick fireplace. Wow, will that room be a time consuming project.}

After: I definitely need to pick up those toys underneath the entry table and redo the entire arrangement on the tabletop.

After: Closeup of the picture arrangement and wall phrase. I took all of the pictures out of the frames and spray painted every frame with a flat black. I think it all looks SO much better and more unified this way.

After: Oh, so much better....WARM and WELCOMING!!

More projects to come. Hopefully I can start on our den painting or the living room. We'll see which strikes first. I'm trying to get everything painted the way that I want it BEFORE the new flooring is put down. Hope you are having a FANTASTIC FRIDAY!
