I feel like the state of my hallway sets the mood for the day. I know my day will be chaotic when I walk down to find 60 shoes and various clothes on the floor like a school child has spontaneously combusted at the bottom of the stairs.
Everybody loves a before and after. I have been working on this one for ages. It has been a really personal process to create the perfect environment that feels just right for us. The cream and beige that was left over from the last owners felt like we were sleeping in someone else’s house so it’s one of the first rooms we’ve decorated since we moved in.
Here’s a quick project that can spruce up a beige lampshade. I made this because I was sick of looking at two beige lampshades on my vintage dressing table. I’m not a huge fan of beige.
