Little Space. Big Impact.
We were very bust this weekend… hopefully I will be able to share what all of our efforts were for soon. But here is a little makeover our striped hallway got this weekend. For my Facebook & Twitter followers you saw my latest random find… a Pepto Pink Bamboo Ladder. Originally $125 on clearance for $20!

I’m thinking the color had something to do with that. While it looked cute… pink wasn’t going to work in our hallway. A quick coat of black spray paint & it was ready. It is perfect for holding our extra towels right next to our bathroom.
Our boob light finally got replaced as well! On our crazy Goodwill trip last week we also picked up a big ole brass chandelier that also got a coat of black.
Better right? See I don’t keep everything brass! Also, here is a little tip: If you have a more traditional fixture adding the round bulbs or even adding Edison bulbs instead of the traditional tapers will give your fixture a more eclectic look.
Beautiful Kristen!!! Wish you could stop by my house and revamp a few things!! π Bonnie

You guys have been so busy! I'm betting you're right about why the ladder was on clearance. A little spray paint and it looks great!
I just bought a cute ladder at a garage sale and had no idea how to use it…love this idea!
So pretty, Kristin! I love that gold mirror and your crayon art pops of color are perfect! What a fun space.
Beautiful…love the new hallway additions. I painted stripes in my own hallway last fall and still need to replace 2 plain ceiling lights…after seeing yours I am more inspired than ever!
Id love to pick your brain about something concerning our home. It was built in 1860 and the downstairs is chock full of the original millwork woodwork. Ive been forbidden to paint any of it:) so I have to work with what we have.
We're currently stripping SEVEN layers of ancient wallpaper off the hallway walls and ceiling(yes, the ceiling too). Im struggling with what color we should do in the hallway once the walls are ready for paint. The wood will remain so I have to think of that when considering color.
Im in love with grays but cant seem to visualize if gray would look nice or too dreary in our front hallway.
Some pics of our home can be seen here:(http://www.flickr.com/photos/handbagsnpigtails/sets/72157629831794909) . I would LOVE any advice you might have! Ive finally nailed down my style and I love yours. HELP!!!
Love that space. The ladder is a keeper for sure π
Love the stripes and the colorful artwork too. GOOD JOB!
Love, love the stripes, your space looks great!
You always amaze me. I love coming here. Thank you for all the hard work you do when it comes to blogging. I know it takes time, sacrifice, and effort to post, and I want you to know it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you for being so inspiring!
