DIY! Hallway Facelift

Late one night, I decided one of my hallways needed a facelift.
(or botox at the very least!)
Anyway, since all sane people paint at 10:30 pm, I was ready to go.
The mood struck and I had to get started on this hallway


I last painted this hallway - which is a thorough fare in my home - 6 years ago...it was so time for a facelift! The house is in a constant state of flux as it is...but I am really wanting some fresh paint on all of the walls.

I had some Refresh Paint from Dutch Boy all ready and waiting for me. The color is a gorgeous neutral shade called Water Fowl. As soon as I tested it on the wall, I knew I selected the right color.

It is extremely hard to get a photo of this hallway to show you the total transformation.
Just trust me - it looks amazing!
The perfect spot for my Family Command Center and sweet signs!

I just love what paint can do


Supplies

  1. Looks great! I love the new color!

    When you have kids, sometimes it's just easier to do things late in the evening after they have gone to bed. I remember when my husband and I tiled our laundry room. We started as soon as the kids were in bed and finished around midnight.
