Planked Wall Hallway Gets *NEW* Light Fixtures!

Planked walls seem to be all the rage this year.  They are really a

great way to add character and cottage charm to your home.

I have expressed my frustration with the  'six-door hallway' in

our home.  Yes, I am not kidding, the hallway has 

SIX doors!  I tried painting an accent wall {a mistake, I admit}

then finally decided to add the planking. 

The hallway also had oh-so-blah recessed lights.

I knew adding some semi-flush mounted

lights were one more way to add some 

interest to my crazy hallway.

{and maybe take some attention away from 

all those doors!}

This is a really tough spot to photograph so bear

with me on these crazy angled shots!  

Last weekend my hubby got busy hanging these

wonderful light fixtures from Bellacor.com!

I love the simplicity of the fixtures which

I would say are both modern and traditional.

The fixtures are called the 'Livex Heritage Convertible

Semi-Flushmount' and at $99.00 are pretty

affordable for a light fixture!  Aren't the so pretty?

And if you aren't a fan of these, Bellacor has 

tons more to choose from as well as other

great items for your home!  

We have nine foot ceiling so the fixtures also fill in some of

that vertical space and add so much interest and charm

to this once very dark and boring hallway!

I often find the most interesting homes are ones that don't ignore

spaces that one wouldn't normally think of decorating.  I think

someone needs to start a movement to begin making uninteresting

spaces more interesting - at least ones that have six doors!

In all seriousness, I often tell overwhelmed clients that
small changes, like paint and lighting really can
work miracles!  I think this hallway proves that.

My 'Flea Market' sign was a find at a local antiques mall - it's not

authentic but a made by a local gal here in Portland.

Can you see where I have yet to finish painting my

planks???  See that *VeRy* think strip next to

the door?  Yep, just haven't been able to muster

the motivation……maybe this weekend???
