Putting the finishing touches on our hallway upgrade. We installed beadboard 3/4 up the wall and added molding on top, then painted. It really brightens up the hallway and adds much needed architectual detail. For this project, we used beadboard paneling - it looks just the same as the pricey stuff and we were able to bring it up to the 3/4 look. I really like the way this turned out and we have started putting up the beadboard on the kitchen cabinets. I'll be posting that project very soon.
Oh, and I'm finishing up the bathroom's new wood moldings, beadboard and toile wallpaper. I'll be revealing that tomorrow.
