The Ever Evolving Hallway

 

Things are in a continual state of change around our home......lol!     Sometimes it's just a little tweak.....sometimes it's a mini makeover.....and sometimes it's a complete redo!     This time it's just a little tweak


The hallway has had a series of little tweaks over the years.   
  In the first photo,   you can  see where I had a large music piece on each end of the windows.    I had those there for quite a while,   then you can see I took them down in the second photo and left the wall blank on each side.   At the same time,  I changed the end of the hallway from a vintage coat hanger tree to a faux barn door backdrop.


I've always kinda missed the musical notes but felt they didn't really work with the new farmhouse look I have going on in the hallway.    I fell in love with a pair of soft grey wall plaques at a yard sale over the week end and thought they might be just the thing that would work on each side of the windows.    


I love mixing different styles of decor.   
The pairing of weathered wood windows and ornate wall sconces really appeals to me.     


It was $10 for the pair,   so my project was very budget friendly too!


I can already see a faux pumpkin on the shelf  when fall arrives.....or maybe a small cotton boll tree!


I also made some changes to the end of the hallway.


I put a pink and cream runner on the table under the mirrors and created a faux floral design.


I had a fresh floral design  on the table before and of course those only last so long.


I made my floral design using pink and cream roses and filled in around them with eucalyptus. 


I scattered some antlers and roses around my design  and on the table.


If you look in the middle mirror,   you can get a glimpse of the new piece I hung on the small wall by the master bath.


It's a recent yard sale purchase.

  1. You make everything pretty, Penny. The window frame is the perfect starting point in your hallway. The new sconces are timeless and you can do so much with them. Your hallway must be wide....ours is too narrow to really decorate except for a few things on thew all.

    Your new sconces remind me, my SIL just bought some land with an old house that is going to be torn down. The house has one of those phone niches in the wall (like my Granny's house had). She's going to get that out of the wall for me if possible. Wouldn't it be fun to put that in the wall somewhere?

  4. Always fun to have things evolve. That is what keeps our homes interesting. I think we notice our treasures more if we switch things up. Your window wall is clever. Great job!
