Thank you Isle of Man, I never fail to have a great time no matter the weather !
Great to catch up with friends, eat fabulous food, dog walks and retail therapy !
whilst here, and when the weather was too bad to be out and about I did some decorating (of course)!
The job this visit was a bit of a freshen up to this tired hallway of a holiday let.
It was, one of those things that got put to the bottom of the list of things to get done when the flat was referbed , (don’t we all with our hall)!
But we shouldn’t, as this is the first impression of our home people see and sometimes that is all they see of our houses.
It is one of the hardest working space we have in our homes, other than the kitchen, what with deliveries, wet coats and shoes, pets , shopping, children , up and down stairs numerous times a day the list is endless, but we still think it isn’t an important space as we are just passing through.
The physical act of decorating a hall can be awkward with high, hard to access areas, let alone choosing a style. I have to say, it is my most requested job on house decorating due to this.
This hall was a real mish-mash of colours and gets lots of wear and tear as it also has a laundry space under the stairs too.
This hall was a simple make over that could be refreshed regularly and easily due to high traffic, the bluey greys and pinky browns and dirty white weren’t doing it justice.
So we neutralised it with Benjamin Moore, colour drenching the space winds breath , this has made it a bright warm welcoming space and a great backdrop for the addition of some seaside themed artwork.
