Bookshelf - in process

Here is the bookshelf that I beautified and stuck in the tiny-ass hallway of my apt.

A few more pics of the HALLWAY - before & after

HALLWAY - BEFORE

HALLWAY - AFTER

Bookcase

Mirror

Across from mirror are the closet doors

I am really proud of my hallway. It came together pretty well. I drilled a bookcase against the wall and placed a mirror on top. Both were white but I painted them a dark brown. I would have loved to stain them but they had been painted and you can't stain wood after it's already been painted. I did a half ass job on the mirror. I got lazy. If you look on the side of the mirror, it's not completely painted at the bottom. I call this my Shabby Chic look, like I intentionally did it. But I didn't. I was lazy. The mirror, some guy in my old apt building was going to throw away and asked me if I wanted it. The bookcase, I found at the dumpster. The diamonds on the closet doors are actually table place mats. And the shade covering the light, similar to the one below,

I bought for 4 dollars.

Next is my main room. Below is a before pic

Hallway - Sneek Peek

I finished my hallway, but! I have to take some really good pics. I took some pics today but they did not turn out to well. Here is one pic that did. It's the closet doors. The squares you see nailed on the doors are dinner place mats.

Hallway Remodel - continues 2...

I painted the hallway walls that lead from the main room to the bathroom a dark mustard color. It turned out pretty nice. As you can see I painted the bathroom door red. I love the color red and I love bold colors. You will not find much white featured as the main color in my apartment. Color means life, warmth, passion, openess and compassion.
