The hallway.
Well, I could stop now and say it’s completely finished, but honestly there are a few little touches here and there that need doing. For example, the light shade needs replacing, and more light is needed in general. I will also need to go around the architraves and repaint them, along with ceiling, and there’s a few little patches of yellow that need going over again, but for the time being, it’s done!
Check out the mirror! My mum bought this for us when we saw it in this little antiques store. Both mum and I said, “That would look great in our/your hallway” at the same time, so we knew it was meant to be. Only $65 too!
So the trim (being skirting and doorframes) is done! I’ve only done the hall-side of the door frames, seeing as the other sides will be painted as the rooms are painted, and I kind of want to paint the rooms before I do all the trim (i.e. paint the bedroom walls before the door frames). That way I can go around each room and do all the trim in one go.
Before (as seen in my last blog entry):
After (taken when it’s dark outside so it’s dark in here – used the flash though!):
I painted the hallway today – this is only the first coat, I’ll have to do the second coat tomorrow (technically making this Phase 0.5 
). I LOVE this colour – it’s so happy and makes me feel happy when I see it.

The actual colour seems a lot brighter than this photo shows it to be. I LOVE IT!
