We've been decorating the hall recently so I thought I would show a little photo of how it is looking.
We've added this tongue & groove panelling to the lower half of the wall & it has made the hall & stairs feel so much better.
I wanted to do this when we first moved in 7 years ago but we had to renovate the whole house & so this sadly got left whilst more important things got done.
But I'm so glad we've done it now as I just love it.
We painted in in Cornforth White from Farrow & Ball, I just love this soft grey colour.
The walls are painted in Picket Fence from B&Q, which is very much like Craig & Rose's Regency White as we had this colour on the wall previously & you can hardly tell the difference!
I did want to sand back the parquet flooring as I wasn't so keen on this colouring with the grey but I think I've got used to it over a few weeks so I think it will probably stay this colour now, plus it compliments the sea-grass runner we have on the stairs that you can just see peeping into shot on the left & a big plus is that if it is left how it is, it saves on a lot of work & mess!

My lovely vintage style mannequin doesn't live here in the hall, she normally resides in the dining room but I had moved her out of the way whilst I took some product photos in the dining room & she looked so pretty here that I quickly took this photo.
I think she suits being in the hall, don't you?
But she does look terribly pretty in the dining room so I couldn't bare to move her permanently!

ReplyDeleteYour hallway is so light and airy - lovely! I have to agree that your mannequin suits the space perfectly. If you can't bear to move her from the dining room could you clone her?! :-P

GORGEOUS finish, Alison! LOVE all the soft chalky tones of white and gray. Very welcoming & delightful. The tongue & groove is a great accent. I wanted to do that in our hall too--but it's very small & oddly shaped so just paint for now... LOL! Thanks for sharing. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))
