I tend to get the itch to paint on holiday weekends. Labor Day weekend rolled around and I decided I’d tackle my next project: the upstairs hallway. The hallway was previously painted the same crazy bright yellow like much of the house. To each their own, but I’ve hated it since the day we moved in!
These pictures don’t really do it justice. So, so bright. I couldn’t wait to paint over it! I needed one coat of primer and two coats of Benjamin Moore’s Manchester Tan and I had a totally new hallway!
I am in love with the difference, to the point where I may or may not be finding excuses to run upstairs just to look at it. 🙂
The rest of my to-do list for the hallway:
- Hang photographs
- Find artwork
- Spray paint lamp base
- Install wooden growth chart
- Replace light switch covers
- Maybe stain the stair railings darker?
Oh my that yellow was BRIGHT! It makes me jittery just looking at it 🙂 I love the tan, it makes such a huge difference and looks much more fancy 🙂
My powder room used to be that color of yellow. It always gave me a headache to be in there! Your update looks great. Such a peaceful color!
