    • ]]>     Our little hallway and stairwell project has come to an end. The paint on the woodwork has been stripped away to reveal beautiful Douglas fir wood. The wood has been stained and varnished (twice). The walls have been re-plastered and painted (twice). Antique leaded glass doors have been installed between the back hallway and the sleeping porch to let in more light. The reproduction light fixture and switch plates have been installed.

    The only thing left to do is sand and refinish the little back hallway floor. I’ll start on that after the holidays.

    Photo taken from the dining room. We selected a blue green color from Benjamin Moore’s Historical collection called Wythe Blue HC-143. It’s a darker version of our first paint color attempt. Our bedroom plaster was originally tinted a similiar color to Wythe Blue and served as inspiration.

    Photo of the antique leaded glass doors, taken from the upstairs bathroom. It is difficult to adequately photograph these beautiful doors due to the narrowness of the back hallway.

    This project somehow doesn’t seem as exciting as some of our past projects but it was just as much work!
