No one really considers hallways, landings and stairs to be that important - but a person spends a lot of time in these areas every day. A little paint and some slight changes can make these spaces feel warm, cozy and a part of home.
HALLWAY
 |
Hallway before
|
 |
Hallway after - it's amazing what just paint can do!
|
STAIRS
 |
Stairs before
|
 |
Stairs after - we had thought about sanding the banister down and staining, but it was too badly damaged. So, we decided that a dark brown handrail with white spindles would work just as well.
|
 |
Stairs after - We turned the empty alcove at the bottom of the stairs into a useful bookshelf. The back of it is painted a contrasting brown color, and three shelves were added (with a baseboard brace on the bottom to help it look built in)

UPSTAIRS LANDING
 |
Upstairs Landing before - this picture was taken before all the renos were done, but just after the flooring was put in (my stupid camera deleted any pictures of the old flooring). We installed a dark laminate.

 |
| Upstairs Landing after - again, all we did here was paint, and replace some light fixtures. |
