Happy, Happy Color: Hallway

Spring, oh spring where are you?  We miss you!  The frogs are calling ever so slowly and the American woodcock are taking a break from their spring mating displays....all waiting for warmer temperatures.  As we wait too, and the gray, cold lingers, we are wrapping up the interior painting.  The downstairs hallway was in serious need of a makeover.  It looked like winter in that hallway!

We, of course, wanted to make it light, bright and inspiring so we went with a lighter shade of green than the sunroom.  Since this is a dark hallway, the bright paint helped lighten the space immensely.

After drying, the paint took on a less yellow hue and remained a fantastic, light green.  You may also notice the stairs on the right.  Yes, we painted them too!

Prior to painting, a hideous permanently adhered linoleum covered the wood and we started to try to take the linoleum off and quickly questioned our sanity.  The scraping took so long, we would have had days wrapped up this project, which is not how we want to continue to spend our time!  So, Steve decided to bust out the sander, give the linoleum a serious rub-down, priming and finally paint.  We love it.

Now, we just have the new bathroom wall addition left and the original bath renovation.  The hang up on this project is the wiring....it's super complex in this area and buried beneath plaster.  Poor Steve.

The contrasting colors everywhere makes us happy though!
