Tunnel of Doom meet Tunnel of Love

I am linking up to  parties at Finding Fabulous and Southern Hospitality. and Fingerprints on the Fridge Come check out my thrifty hall redo.

This makeover is of the hallway that is going down to my first floor office. Just a few months ago there was a bare bulb, the walls were white and barren and the stairs were unfinished. My commute to my office was like going into the tunnel of doom. Not very inspiring.

So after Christmas I decided that I did not need a solid door. Let the light in!! So that prompted an entire makeover. (My brother Mike said I am the only person he knows that has made over a hall. Unlikely).

Here goes. My before is actually a half-way. 


My bro-in-law Dan called me from the thrift to let me know he found a green chandelier for $5 and did I want it?  Heck yes, I have spray paint!



Did I ever mention that Matt and I were married by Elvis in Las Vegas?? Well we were.  I hope it was legal.  Haha! It was a blast. I wore hooker shoes just for fun.




The above door was brand new but was primed white. Stripping is no fun. (Unless you get paid. Yes, another hooker reference. Sorry mom.)



I am going to do a post about my floors whenever we get the trim finished. Remember these were just regular pine boards from the hardware.  They look old, si o no?

I am in love.

Happy weekend.
