Hall Makeover - Blue Cottage

I love January.  Not only is it a beautiful time of  year, but you

get to stay inside and read....and watch movies ...and drink 

hot chocolate.....and....CLEAN and SHINE your house! YES!

 I washed down my hallway and cleaned all the wainscoting.

(Be careful what you wish for.)

 

I was talking about polishing the banisters on the stairs when
I turned around and DH had finished them!

Door on the left goes to a full bath downstairs and the door
on the right goes to the kitchen.  The hall mirror was the only
thing I bought for the hall.  Our first home (that would be My

Little Tiny Green Cottage) had no hall.  The sofa table fit 

nicely in here.   

                                                BEFORE                                                              

So here is my problem.  The wall on the right has lots of odd

shapes about it (thermostat, doorbell, stairs) and nothing
about it was beautiful.  So I took some things off the walls
from other places in the house and created a special wall.

AFTER

I love it! 

The plate in the middle is the Syracuse China plate that DH
gave me for Christmas!   The only thing I bought was a $2.76
plate hanger from Micheals for the new plate.  Everything
else I have had for years.

I'll do the rest of the walls another day!  Thanks for dropping
by to see the hall makeover.  Be sure to stop by
Between Naps On the Porch  for Metamorphosis Monday to
see other makeovers!
