New Barn Door.....finally!

 For Christmas this year, hubby and I gave each other barn door hardware - yes, we've been married a long time.  It was to be a quick, easy project.  HMMM...six months later, it is done. Unforeseen events and a wedding kind of interrrupted our progress - but it doesn't matter.  It's DONE!

BEFORE (bad angle, but narrow hallway)

AFTER (better angle, but still narrow hallway)

About 50 years ago, the owners of this house found a GREAT deal on some louvered bi-fold doors because there were about 50 pairs of them installed.  We have been slowly changing them out and this is about the last couple of pairs.  There is one small one we still need to replace - but we are still working on a solution for that one.

YIKES! STRIPES?

My hallway was like a bowling alley - long, narrow, and kind of unremarkable.  A hallway can be thought of as another room to decorate, so I took the advice from a blog - 4 men 1 lady - and I striped it.  I think I'm in love!  It still needs some details, but it already adds interest to the bowling alley look.

Yep - I prefer bowling in an alley!
