A Little More Progress In our Hallway



Well, our hallway is just about complete. All I have left to do is add photos going up the stairs (which I still haven't decided exactly the look I want) and then it will be done. We added this narrow cabinet at the top of the stairs. It adds a little more storage to the space. And then I used this mirror that I kind of "borrowed" from my parent's a few years ago. It's been in our study above the fireplace but now that I've added a new piece of art in there (I'll have photos of that next week) it worked nicely moving it up here.


Sorry - this photo is super grainy but I was trying to give a feel for how the spaces flow.






And here's the downstairs hallway:


SOURCE LIST:
Wall Color - Moonshine in Matte Finish (BM)
Trim Color - Simply White in Semi-gloss Finish (BM)
Door Color - Mopboard Black in Semi-gloss Finish (BM)
Light Fixture - Mia from Pottery Barn (Flushmount upstairs and pendant downstairs)
Beadboard Wallpaper - Allen and Roth from Lowe's
Clock - Savvy in Williamsburg, VA (a couple of years ago)
Runner - RugsUSA (can't remember what pattern it was, but when I get a chance will try to look it up and add it in later)
Painting - HomeGoods
Shelf - Target (I'm not the biggest fan of it and would not buy it again)
Frames - One on the left is from Target and the on one the right is from IKEA
Growth Chart - Dear Lillie 
Cabinet - HomeGoods
Mirror - Antique (was my great grandmother's)
Framed Vintage Sheet Music - gift from my mother-in-law
Vase - was a candle from Target that I cleaned out once it was finished and now use as a vase, the flowers in it were cut from our Butterfly Bush

I also wanted to re-introduce on of our sponsors, Amber, from Kylie Bryn Designs.

    Wow, that cabinet is the perfect fit and creates a nice little "vignette" between the rooms - lovely!!! And more storage? Bonus! I do wish you could come and hang out with me in California so you could help me with a few "projects" around my house - haha!

    That narrow cabinet is adorable! Great idea for storage that doesn't need a lot of space. I'm planning to hang photos going up my stairs too but still haven't decided on the arrangement.

      Hi Melanie! Bryn is spelled with a "y" (I'm guessing that was the issue when searching on Etsy). Also there are six links to Amber's shop in the post as well as the button on the sidebar :)

    I love the way you decorate your home, it's so clean and simple, as in 'not cluttered with lots of stuff', everything draws my eye in, love it all.

    Thanks!

      Thanks! We haven't done anything to the floors, so unfortunately I don't know what color was used when they were put down--sorry!

    As always, it looks great. :) I'm curious, though, as I've been looking at narrow cabinets like yours above, possibly for my entryway. Is it still quite useful being so narrow? What types of things do you have in yours? Thanks!

    I know you have mentioned you are not thrilled with the rug (runner) down the steps- it is due to durability? Or pattern? What would you suggest in it's place. What you did with it is exceptionally lovely!

      Thanks! It has held up really well, but I think I would choose a more natural rug like a sisal or jute.

    Love your home! Our home has a very similar layout and lighting situation and I have tried a dozen grays, many of which turn purple in our poorly lit foyer and stairwell. Would you recommend Horizon or Moonshine to reduce the risk of crazy undertones in the evenings or in artificial lighting? I can stand green or blue to some extent, but purple makes me bonkers!

      Thank you! Horizon looks very light blue in some lighting, and moonshine can look sort of greenish in some lighting, but moonshine is my absolute favorite light color!

      Thank you for responding so quickly! I'm picking up a sample of moonshine today! I'm using your home as a beautiful guideline for ours 😊

    I love it all! You have a lovely home! I just purchased the PB Mia flushmount and pendant for our new home. Could you tell me what size pendant you used? I worried I may have gotten it to small. We have 10' ceilings.
