Hallway!

It's been a while since I've updated this site, but I thought I better post something, as we started (and have almost already finished) a new project!

This poor little hallway. The girls waged a war on its wallpaper, and it connects everything on the main floor. We thought making it look clean and smooth again with fresh paint and scraped ceilings, even with all of the 80's-ness that would still surround it until a bigger kitchen/living room remodel, would make a big impact.

Wallpaper and glue removed, ceiling scraped, we got to patching. This was original wallpaper - gah-ross the dust that came out of it during removal, ugh - and the walls had construction notes everywhere. Neat. :) A lot of these seemed to be measurements about the crown.
Once everything was patched, it was sanding time. Mucho plastico required.
After cleaning and caulking, paint! We worked from the ceiling down - ceiling then crown then walls. Everything received two prime coats and two finish coats. My hands hurt.

Next, new light fixturesx3, fresh white outlets and light switches, and a snazzy new thermostat. More pics to come. After we finish our smoothies.

  1. Too bad you guys can't get any projects done, haha! Actually can't believe how quickly you do these things. Looks great! And the smoothie slurpers...look like twins.
