Hallway dilemma
I did a major renovation on the main living area of my 1970s bungalow, but now the hallway looks so out of place. I switched out the skinny wooden baseboard and door trim, so that it matches the rest of the house, and the door handles need to be changed too.
Deciding on paint, though, has proved tough. Should I paint the doors as well as the frames? Should the trim match the walls (BM Steam) or is that too stark a contrast with the old fashioned slab doors' colour?
And then there's that metal bifold door. Any ideas for that beauty?

Light fixture dilemma/ +++pics/ opinions welcome, I can take it!
Comments (18)I'm in agreement on the pendants...don't get the matched ones. One of the reason that chandy is so fabulous and will be in your house is that it appears to be a one of type of thing. It flows well with the pendants and will help deleniate the dining area from the kitchen nicely. I'm so glad we can be friends now...cuz honey you got some great freaking lighting taste. As to that one for the foyer you didn't get....have you considered a divorce???? heh heh Ok keep the man but sheesh....a lamp is a lifetime...a man....ok well they are too but the lamp will never lose it's hair :oP My chicken: (and no my house is NOT tuscan...It's just eclectic): The foyer lamp I let get away (but now I have a house for it so it's gonna be MINE!!!)...See MoreHelp!

Comments (15)Thank you, RedRyder. That is certainly an interesting thought. What I was thinking to take away the totally white look was a colorful shower curtain. I am not a huge fan of patterned tile because I think that no matter what I choose I'll want to change it in a few years and tile is hard to change. I do, though, think patterned tile is perfect for a laundry room and I love yours. Thank you for responding!...See Morehbeing

last monthToday's idea: paint the door frames white, like the walls, and (perhaps a bit later) paint the doors in a contrasting colour, to update the look. I'm not keen on the black doors/white walls look, especially in such a narrow hallway with so many doors, so something more subtle. Your thoughts?
