foyer and hallway makeover provident home design

It took three full coats, as I was painting over a darker more pigmented colour like the yellow-tan that was on the walls. I decided to paint the entire hallway and all the trim an airy white. Here is what I did to transform this space for right around $500… At one point I thought that we might just go right over it with some vinyl plank flooring, and that is still a possibility, but for now I wanted to give the basement hallway a refresh and decorative makeover without going to the huge hassle of floor replacement. The basement hallway has a worn tile floor that I do not love, but that is still in good shape (and most likely adhered right to the concrete subfloor, making it even more of a mess to get up). The rest of the updates we do are definitely going to be thrifty and well thought-out so as to not overspend and lose money in the long run. SO, all this to say that I think we’ve just about maxed out on what we should spend on renovating our current home.

And if you’ve been following for a while, then you know that we have done some major construction in this house with two new bathrooms and a new completely kitchen… moving walls and doors etc. But who doesn’t love a good before and after? So, here we go!Īs I mentioned in my one year in our home (and what’s to come in 2020) post at the beginning of January, we are considering building a house either later this year or next year. If you’ve been following along the last couple of days as I shared the re-organization of our mudroom and laundry alcove, then you have had some glimpses of this space. And I’m honestly thrilled with the power of inexpensive brightly coloured area rugs to warm up the space and help subdue the strong orange slate tile-look floor that we have down there. Kudos to my husband for helping me hang wallpaper (for the second time in this house!). I put it off and put it off and put it off, and it didn’t take nearly as much time and effort as I thought. Now that it’s done, I wish I had tackled our basement hallway/mudroom/laundry alcove WAY earlier. It’s amazing how quickly and easily a busy pass-through space in your home can go from blah to #allthehearteyes. Thrifty changes with floor rugs and a little wallpaper.

Today I’m sharing the quick, easy, and thrifty makeover of our basement hallway which includes our mudroom and laundry alcove space.
