We have a very small hallway in our house, and I needed to make it look bigger and to make it more practical. I´m sorry that I don´t have any before photos of the dark little room with grey laminate floor and beige dirty walls. Because the room looks very different now after I painted everything white. I´m very happy with the result!
You might think that it´s very impractical to have a white floor in the hallway, and you’re absolutely right! My plan is to have a little rug that we can walk on with our dirty shoes. *smile*
I´ve also made a little bench that is hanging on the wall (almost like a big shelf), and underneath it I have our shoes stored in a sink bucket. I´m thinking of having a smaller shelf over the knobs as well, so I can have some baskets with scarfs etc.
Next to the right wall we have an old cabinet that we hang our jackets, so the hallway is more meant for our guests and to have a welcoming room.
On the opposite wall I have my DIY chalkboard, so I can write some welcoming words as well…

Wish you all a wonderful and exciting weekend!

Kul gang..og jeg elsker skjerfet ditt…
Har sett på ,og prøvd ,det samme i blått!! Herlig:)
God natt til deg:)
Gorgeous! Please keep us updated on how the painted floor holds up, even with the rug. The last time I painted my floor (the laundry) all the paint came off in a year.
Yes – hallways have their special problems. Often I see the helplessness between decoration and practical use. Your small corner looks great and you’ve found a good solution.

Nydelig og kjempekoselig gang! Rett og slett herlig!
Hvite gulv er så lekkert men ikke-eksisterende i vårt hjem. Ønske-ønske meg:)
Ha en flott kveld!
Klem fra Kristin
it’s looking very cute 😉 love the white! I was wondering if you ever tried to paint the laminate you were talking about??
Åååh, finfint! Den merker jeg faktisk at jeg glemte å se på sist. Det var det sultne lille gullet mitt som tok all min oppmerksomhet! Så flink du er:-) og takk og gratulerer til deg også med finaleplass! Utrolig gøy.. Ditt bidrag er så nydelig. I love white! And you<3 (og du? "endelig kan jeg lære deg noe også"?? Syntes jeg lærer noe nytt av deg hele tiden jeg! 🙂 kompliment)
Så flott gang dere har fått!
Godt utnyttet plass 😉
God helg!

Så artig, me er midt i oppussing av gang, og det blei kvitt og svart hos oss også. Før bilder var det heilt uaktuelt å ta – såg ikkje ut i måneskinn… Tristaste gangen ever, likevel har det tatt oss tre år å gjera noko med det. No er eg kjempefornøyd, sjølv me har att å male dører, skifta handtak, mala tak, skifta golv – legga varmekablar og listing… puh… Men me er i gang – det er det viktigaste 🙂
Klem ELi
Me like;o) Blir alltid så inspirert hver gang jeg titter innom deg Nina, du er helt unik! Ønsker deg fortsatt en fin helg. Klem fra Maliva
Wow, what a transformation. I can see how it changed even though you don’t have a before photo. Amazing work you’ve done!! I like that you use a bucket under the seat to put shoes. I like your ideas and it looks beautiful!!!
Super Nice!
Verkigen härligt – I Like!!!
Maliin
I love this! It looks like the perfect little nook to collapse and take your shoes off after a long day!
Kjempestilig!
Vi har også en liten gang, og har gjort noe omtrent som du. Men med to unger og en hund blir ikke gangen så dekorativ mellom rydderundene. Dessuten står barnevogna der inne om natten:)
Fint hos deg! Jeg liker bildene dine!
klem
Just found your blog via Pinterest, really like it! Just added you to my google reader 😉
where, might i ask, did you get that perfect black and white stripe pillow??
I have made the pillow myself. The fabric is from Ikea. Glad you liked it 🙂
