I have been working on my hall for the last couple of weeks. I'm glad to be able to post my before and after pictures today. This is my after picture. We replaced our 1 tiny light with 2 new canned lights. We also added, bead board, trim, paint (walls- Hopsack, ceiling- Latte, bead board-white), crown molding, floor mat(I painted with left over wall paint) photos and accent pieces.
Down came the ugly popcorn ceiling. We replaced the Home Interior from the early 90's with snap shots I have taken over the years of my kids.
BEFOREHere we have the before picture. As you can see we totally made over this room. .Click here to see all post from start to finish.
Nothing went untouched, from putting bead board on the walls and ceiling to a new mat on the floor.
The pictures added so much for little cost. I purchased the frames at Hobby Lobby for half price. I think at half off they were $8.00 for a 14" x 18" frame. The black and white pictures I had made at Wal-mart, they were $4.97 for a 8" x 10" picture. Each picture I have under $15.00.
Everything on this wall came from Hobby Lobby, also half priced, or I already had it. The things I already owned got a coat of black spray paint. The "C" for our last name was gold. It also got a coat of black paint. I love it now.
This is the new floor mat I made. I cut a piece of linoleum, bought at Home Depot for $20.00 for a 6' x8' square. I painted the back side with left over wall paint and as you can see, it matches my hall perfectly. I added a black border to tie in the black picture frames. I hope you enjoyed my before and after pictures. Thanks for stopping by my blog and please leave a comment letting me know you were here.

Thanks for visiting my blog - just got it done and "BAM" you were there! I love, love, love your floor cloth. I will have to try that sometime! Your MM project is great. Doesn't crown molding add so much! PAM
What a beautiful change. It looks like a completely different hall and much, much larger. Love the floorcloth!

I love the beadboard. I might not have thought to put it in that hallway, but wow does it ever look good! You totally transformed that space. Great job.

Nice job! Hallways are usually so neglected in homes; yours is truly a beautiful spot to pass through. I have this color scheme in my study; I like the combination. :)
Beautiful job! ♥
Gorgeous job, Wendy. I really like the black and white photos in matching frames, they really pop against the lovely mocha wall.

Wendy,
Your before and after hall look great! You did a fabulous job. Love the black frame pitures and especially your mat you made. WOW!
Thank you for stopping by...and leaving a sweet comment..Katherinellen
Ps.
I add you on my blog list
What a beautiful hallway.
What a great job you did with this. I adore black and white "galleries" and that floor cloth is amazing. You're very talented. Thanks for the nice comment on our kitchen, raising the ceiling was a job, but so worth it. Kathyunc
Wendy,
Love, Love, Love what you did with the hallway. My entry hallway will soon resemble yours, great minds think alik, hehe. Look forward to seeing more of your work via your blog. Thanks for stopping in on mine.
I had to go back and do a double take of the before and after! Your hall looks wonderful! I thought of painting a runner. Yours is so pretty, will hold up to heavy traffic, like a hubby, who comes from the pasture with muddy boots?... lol Probably Not!
Wonderful job! I love the colors and you did a great job personalizing the space.
My favorite change was the b/w pictures you had made, but the entire project came out very well.
Wow, what an amazing transformation... Beautiful
Wait!? You made that floor mat!! You have some amazing skills Wendy. Your new hall looks amazing! Oh isn't that popcorn ceiling a joy to get rid of?! I'm using the word amazing a lot but I'm really impressed with the changes you made. I'm late getting around this week :0)
Stunning...simply stunning!
I really like the transformation! Beadboard is one of my favorite things. I have it in my back entryway. Your hall looks great!
Thanks for your visit today & for leaving your kind words!
I LOVE THIS! The colors are very similar to my bathroom, which I need to continue working on. It also matches my kitchen (wall color is slightly different). I love black, white and tan. You did a great job and gave me some inspiration to keep working on both rooms!
Oh my word...that looks so fabulous! Please do mine! ;)
Ashley Nichole.
You did a fabulous job with your hall makeover!
Donna
This is simply gorgeous girl! Great job!
Lovely! The colors look great!
I finally found the time to look at some 'Met Monday' blogs! Found you over at Susan's! Your hallway is a total transformation, it was not ugly before, but it is so sophisticated now!
Wow! What a difference! I love that floor mat!
LOVE the floor mat. How perfect to not have to steam clean or worry about stains...
Thanks for sharing!
your hallway transformation is perfect! I've been thinking of doing the exact same thing with mine... what wonderful inspiration you've shared.. thanks so much! Dixie
You are right. I should of never looked at the pictures. Maybe between you, Mickey and me we can work on Jeff. At least your Jeff lets you express your creative side. He always likes what I have done when it is finished but fusses about it before.
