Let's do this!! As I said in my first post, I believe it is important to feel comfortable and at peace in your own home. Your home should be just that, a home! It should be a sanctuary; somwhere you can escape from the busy world we live in. So I want to, room by room, make my home beautiful. I am sure I will re-do many projects, but that is the adventure; trying to find what makes me feel happy in my home. I love the William Morris quote (which I am sure you have seen on other blogs, I know I have) "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
So Project Number 1: The downstairs hallway. It is an out of the way place, in case I totally mess this up! And it was a space I could easily convince Grumpy to let me do. It's the hallway to the laundry room, so we know he never uses it!
Before picture time!!
Yeah, sorry I did already start taping some before I took this. My bad. But see? Ugly hallway! That’s the laundry room in the back and there is a little bathroom and the door to the garage.
The Plan:
I want to paint it a happy blue so when I walk down to do the laundry I won't grumble, grumble, and grumble. I will sigh happily noticing how pretty it is. I also want to put up some white shelves on the wall, the one that isn't really pictured, in order to place all my canned items on. However, I am not sure if there will be enough room; I want to still be able to walk down the hallway. Oh, and the canned items are ones I canned myself. Yup, I'm pretty cool.
Time to head to Home Depot and gather supplies!!

I love answering questions so please don't unfriend me from your blog? What will I do with all my grandiose ideas? So, think of a complimentary color, but with the blue, I would go with white. Get white frames of all different sizes and textures. Put them up all over one wall...kids pics etc. Compliment with cool stuff like feathers, butterflies, birds,basically white and a dark blue maybe. WOW, the idea in my head looks so amazing. I can draw you a picture later....AL
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty in my head too! Thanks for the inspiration!
