Extreme Hall Makeover

Mike and I have completed another project! We started this one back in JANUARY. We were trying to figure out what room to do, and decided on the hallway, because its such a high traffic area, and it needed a face-lift. So, in our spare time (which is slim) we've done a little here and there, and finally finished after 5 long months! (I know, so embarrassing). I've been waiting to post pictures on it because I wanted to wait and show before and after shots. So, we've finally completed it and it looks great! (And sorry, there's a ton of pictures)

PHASE I

Here are some before shots- it had paneling up and down the hallway that was way too tall, and the colors were blah.

I took a picture of the casing around the doorways because we replaced that too...

PHASE II

The demolition. The blackish ugly part is what was behind the paneling, it was put on with adhesive 50 years ago, so when we removed it it tore off plaster with it. and left it looking really ugly for awhile.

Tearing off the casing around the doors and starting to mud the wall...

PHASE III Mudding and Painting.

PHASE IV

Finished! We put up new bead board, baseboards, casing around doorways, got new doors and matching doorknobs, and a new light fixture (not pictured).
