Most of the homes in the Netherlands have small hallway.And ours looks messy and shabby. It wasnt a mess. It was always clean.Papers and letters in order, shoes in proper place. But , it still lacked a refined look. Hallways are the first thing your visitor sees. So, the hallway project began a few weeks ago. What did this project involve?
1. Clearing the space. Relocating furniture,paper/letter and shoes area.
2. Wallpaper
3. Better coat hanger
1.I started by filling the holes left by the previous coat hanger. The coat stand we had before the make over was good but it had a "coats thrown over" look.
2. Bought a wallpaper that was classy and also matched the grey half painted area on the wall. I wanted this wall to be like a focus wall.
3.Fixing the wallpaper was not as easy as I thought. But I was glad that I had just one small wall.
4. Coat hanger for adult coats and kids coats fixed after a real battle between the brick wall and my husband. They have a love-hate relationship. Screws never seem to stay put. And if they stay it never comes off!
5. Found alternative to kids shoe rack: plastic crate hidden towards the wall.
6. The cupboard has scarves and shawls, and basket of "things to return". The library books are on the floor next to it.
7. A blue kids chest for kids sweaters, mittens, caps etc...
