So this weekend was a success – we are one step closer to closing the book on our hallway-trim-painting project! Sunday morning was a busy one, but I managed to get all the doorways and baseboards covered in two coats of fresh white paint. (Glidden’s Crisp Linen White to be exact.)  Since it was Superbowl Sunday I was forced to close shop a little earlier then I wanted, and unfortunately didn’t get to paint the walls. ( I did however get to eat chips & dip!) Needless to say, there will be another  chapter to come. But with out further ado – here is the updated hallway, after hours upon hours of sanding, priming, and painting :

You can see that there is quite a bit of messy white blotches around the doorways – don’t fear! Once we get to paint the walls, the blotches will be replaced with nice crisp lines.

Hopefully with the long weekend coming up I’ll be able to wrap up the rest of the painting.  I’m thinking that we’ll end up painting our bedroom the same color as the hallway, so it would be nice to get those two done at the same time.  In the mean time, I’m eyeing a couple vintage glass knobs on eBay for the doors. Since I haven’t seen a full set of 4 that I’ve really loved, I’m either going to collect one set at a time (I don’t mind if they’re each just a tiny bit different) Or hold off  until I find the right collection. Either way I think they’ll add a nice touch of character.

Stay Tuned for the Final Reveal!
