We’ve removed the old bookcase, stripped the old wallpaper (which took a few days), patched the plaster and repainted the hallway. For now we’re going with a high gloss black for the doors and trim and Charleston Gray for the walls. We bought the paint from Farrow & Ball. The high gloss caused problems and so did the price (ouch!) Word to the wise, get paint samples if you see something you like then have it mixed somewhere else.
We’re debating on wallpapering the walls here in the future, adding a chandelier and possibly a pedestal table. Haven’t had luck finding a square rug we can agree on but we’re keeping our eyes out. The wall clock is an old family heirloom.
