Hallway: before and after

I never thought I could get excited over a hallway, it's just a passage way. But not really, I feel its slightly another room of the house and want it to look good. It's one of those things with little changes, that take a long time (JT) that end up making it stand out to make you say "Did you do something different here....?"
Take a peek at our little changes.

Before. White primed walls, icky little trim, brass door knob

and hinges that were textured over...nice.

After. Nice new trim painted white, new oil rubbed bronze hardware,

killer new door and gray paint. We still have the same flooring,

which we would have never chosen, but it gets the job done.

Update: Paint color is Kelly Moore-Rain Nation.

Unknown said...: It looks great Holly! I love that you switched the door out! And of course I heartily approve a gray. My sitting room has been close to that same color for 3 years and I'm still not tired of it! Have a great weekend!
