my striped hallway.

i've decided to take on a small project at home...something SMALL that I can do myself in a matter of a few hours. I have been feeling very useless since most projects we've taken on are out of my hands or above my abilities....or maybe I'm telling myself this in hopes that it'll just get done while I'm gone to work one day.....this has not been the case.

BUT we have a teeny hallway in our home and I'm wanting to do something similar to the pictures below. I was first inspired by Jeremy and Kathleen. An adorable blog and even better hallway:)

my initial thought was to do black and cream. I'm not a huge fan of justttt black and white. So black and cream. BUT after seeing the gray/silver and white/cream in the above pictures...I'm swaying. The only reason I lean towards the black is because I LOVE black and there are a lot of neutrals and creams in the house already. SO going with something black might spice things up. And it's much less scary because it's a small, almost hidden space.

hmmmm. Again wanting to quit my job and just go home to sit and stare into space until a decision is made.

PS. I'll take some pictures soon and we'll get this situation rolling:)
