Hall makeover

This weekend I spent most of the time giving the hallway a much needed makeover. With the magazine photo shoot looming at the end of the month we need to crack on and redecorate most of the house! Its not until you start painting that you realise just how scruffy and grubby everything has become! I still have to paint the woodwork but I am happy with the way its turned out. The blue paint was given to me by my brother who had it for their bedroom but decided it was not right so I got a free large tin of paint, I love the colour and will probably use it in the bathroom too. Thanks Neil!

We went for a seaside theme, one because we live near the sea and two because we have a lot of seasidey stuff! I love my stuffed seagull.

Little shelf for seaside finds and one of our boats, lovely little basket a present from Christine and some Lawrence Henry fish.

Beautiful old school posters finish it off nicely.

The light outside this afternoon was amazing! After a very rainy morning the clouds whisked away and the sun came out with a golden glow over everything. I just had to take some photos out of the sitting room window.

Bought some flowers for the garden this morning.

And picked a few out of the garden for the house.

New arrangement in the kitchen corner.

Here are the gorgeous paper chest and old peg doll I got at Shepton, will probably sell the chest in a bit, but enjoying it for a while.

She sits so comfortably in the old toy chair.
