I haven't quite decided yet, but I know I want it lighter. Somehow.<br /><br />Conny - actually, you kind of read my mind! It's not a very long hall, but I would like to put some pictures along it.<br /><br />Melissa - soon! I'll take some photos and let y'all see how it turns out.<br /><br />Cheryl - That's the best thing about paint - if you don't like it, you can just paint over it! :)<br /><br />Charlotte - thanks!

Couldn't you just turn it into an art gallery? Dark backgrounds are good for that. Oh, and you'd need some lighting too (to show off the pictures ofcourse).

(The only one I can think of with no natural light) It has two doors and is only five steps long... it's not like you can get lost in it ;) How about painting over just the bit around your bedroom door? Or there is a technique where you paint patterns over in either varnish or there is an almost clear stuff that gives an opalescent effect, high gloss anyway that would reflect light.Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-67069510528125445792009-11-23T09:07:28.731-07:002009-11-23T09:07:28.731-07:00A lighter shade of blue sounds like it will work, ...A lighter shade of blue sounds like it will work, and make the hall feel bright and cheery.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-28556894761101154982009-11-23T08:06:48.222-07:002009-11-23T08:06:48.222-07:00It'll be fine.

We've been in our house for...8 years? The only painting we've done is the basement (because it was unfinished when we moved in) and the spare room (which was pushed through by my sister - otherwise it would still be pink with a mural which is how it looked when we moved in).JavaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816858010039395389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-44925558365837730932009-11-23T07:32:22.533-07:002009-11-23T07:32:22.533-07:00It can never be too dark :)It can never be too dark :)Geosominhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729167937433295927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-13384878612951175122009-11-23T06:33:56.663-07:002009-11-23T06:33:56.663-07:00Hi, Sparrow!

Never went away. Sigh.<br /><br />Carla - I shall share some pictures soon.... I promise.<br /><br />kcinnova - I'm not sure I could get there before Thursday.... :)<br /><br />Mary Anne in Kentucky - you are so right! Paint can always be fixed. Cloth, not so much. As with lumber; once it's cut, it's done.<br /><br />Sagan - blue. Really blue. Pictures later in the week.<br /><br />Hilary - no, I think it really needs to be lightened up. It's a hallway with no natural light, and it is just too dark. Blue.

It might not be what you planned but colour has a way of growing on you.. especially if it's just a matter of "too dark" and not too off the spectrum.

The ...Do we get Before and Now and Fixed pictures?<br /><br />The thing about being impulsive with paint, rather than cloth, is that paint CAN be fixed. Once you've cut the cloth, you can't change your mind. <br /><br />Mary Anne in Kentuckysolarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-64064065388990819052009-11-23T04:31:12.033-07:002009-11-23T04:31:12.033-07:00You have too much energy and really ought to come ...You have too much energy and really ought to come my way for a visit -- I'm in the middle of a change-up of rooms/room usage.
