suggest end of hallway closet doors, something unique?
Comments (34)First of all, I was going to suggest something very similar to sweeby's. Hallways lend themselves to the idea of a destination. A way to combine function and decor is to follow what sweeby said. But I here you on the "we have so much to do" rant. The problem with hallways, and yours is like mine, they are sometimes narrow and cramped. Cool colors recede, warm colors advance. I would try to find a door color warmer than the wall color in order to "shorten" the hallway. Even a nice very golden-toned wood would be nice. Maybe something with interesting carving to emphasize the "destination" aspect. Or, what about using the normal door the closet comes with and upholstering it in a beautiful accent fabric, and then adding maybe a nice soft swag valance and "tails" hanging above on the header. Could be something soft like a tone-on-tone toile, or it could be something more bolder with a "statement" toward the style of decorating you're choosing. Maybe a soft sage-green bamboo motif. The fabric on the door can sort of "suggest" the function of what's behind it and no one will confuse it with getting lost on the way to the bathroom! I think fabric would soften the space. The stone floor speaks "hard," and then you have a lot of right-angles with the door frames. Looks great, but my eye wants to look for softness. I vote "no" on the mirror. Not in that narrow, bulls-eye of a hallway. And, like I said, I have one. Also, for the pictures on the two walls, I would try to keep their frames in a tone very near the color of the walls. The perspective in that hallway doesn't need bold lines to move you down it; in fact, if you want people to linger I would suggest as little contrast between the frames and the wall color as possible. And, yes, that length of hall lends itself very well to track lighting. I can see that curvy bendable kind meandering down the hall, with spots turned this way and that for illuminating your photos. Good luck!...See MoreStrange thing in front hall closet
Comments (2)Excellent guess with the hat. Maybe with curving the 2x4 they didn't want sharp corners tearing into something, and being higher than the rod maybe for a long trench coat....See MoreUpdate Hallway Utility Closet
Comments (2)The baseboards appears to be missing. Could you post a wider shot of how this hallway connects to other spaces? I’m thinking maybe a little creativity with very deep baseboards depending on nearby baseboards....See Moreupstairs renovation: 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, hall closet
Comments (419)@btydrvn at least my "chic-up truck" is still with me! Came in handy yesterday working on the tailgate most of the day in the warm sunshine. It's blessedly lower to the ground than my work trucks. I'm 5'3". Who knows, maybe I will love the new vehicle. Hubby and I think it will be the upscale version of a hybrid Toyota RAV4. I read it has some giddy up off the post... always liked that about my V6 Accord. A Tesla owner was obviously feeling frisky at a traffic light the other day, and I empathized. Part of this is that I am grieving that part of my life too. The kids were just starting high school. We'd just moved here to this wonderful climate and more trees than they'd ever seen. I was finally getting a "real" job, delayed by staying home while the kids were little (no regrets and no judgements of how anyone else manages). That car saw them through high school, college, those tumultuous years, even an overnight race to my boy's side after he was t-boned by a drunk driver who blew a red light. He's fine and we've been through much worse in the Marines. It even hauled my grandgirls around. That whirlwind part of my life... it was beautiful... not pretending it was perfect though. And I need to remember that these next 25 years can be just as good. After one last thing on my bucket list, I can retire like dear hubby just did. I can get more involved with our local grandgirls just like he is, and travel more to see our distant grandkids. And after we finish renovating the upstairs, we can have company stay with us! The grandgirls can have sleepovers! As I declutter for that renovation, I need to remember I am preparing for the next stage, and to make sure I enjoy every bit of it that I can. And the new "car" will be part of it, right? And so will the "new" house. I can be as happy about my new car as I am about my new house, right? Right? @ilikefriday @Red Ryder @Lynn Lou ?...See MoreR J
