BEFOREDark, dingy, that horrible pink/cream and dirty red. Painted faux wood panelling
...and the prostitute red carpet throughout is what our hallway was bestowed with when we moved in.
AFTER
Re-plastered, tall skirting's, chair rail, picture rail, deep cornices, polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards and a lick of Chalk USA and Cocoa Candy and the installation of french doors and huge glass over light and we welcomed in loads of natural light to a previously cave like space.
We still haven't followed the white paint scheme from the main living area through to this side of the doors while we work out our solution to Mic hating the white colour. So this is still the old paint colour we originally put up...Cocoa Candy by Wattyl. I still like it, but would just want it a little lighter, maybe 1/4 strength.
I have however changed my little vignette in the hall.

The mirror and table my Dad made for us when we had our first home. Big wicker trunk was a thrift shop find by Mum that I love.
It now looks like this.
This mirror ways a tonne and I wouldn't even dare to hang it on the wall in fear that our
White Peonies and Eucalyptus in my favourite Market basket, a vintage frame and a 'D' for our Son was all I thought it needed. I love this new vignette so much more.

I know I was going to show you what I done in the Living Room next, but when I went through the photos realised that seeing the French Doors aren't finished yet, I may as well what until it is all completed...hope you don't mind waiting a bit longer.
As always, I would love to hear what you think of this transformation.
