My hallway
is a pretty useless space as it measures only one by two meters. Too narrow to
even hang up a coat rack as you would rub against the coats all the time while
passing.
So it took
ages before I did anything about it. This photo that I took when I wrote about
my transportation helper is from 2007, two years after the renovation of my
flat.
Then finally in 2010 I found a brand new leftover piece of carpet to replace the
old soiled one. So I started looking for paint and found I still had this
yellow. I never used it because it’s too strong a colour for my lounge and
kitchen, but now decided it was perfect to brighten up my dull entrance. And
even though trashed years before and stored outside in my yard it was still in
great condition.
Then recently,
the just narrow enough chest of drawers, now storing my shoes, was waiting for
me late at night at the dump across the street. And done! Only still a bit
barren, but the room is too dark for plants and anything placed on top of the
chest might be knocked off as well. Usually just piles of junk mail end up on
top of it.
So now to finish up this post I thought let's see what we can do and dug up these old finds and voila. The old vase can break and the plastic flowers
won’t wither. Some day the chest may get
a paint job to cover the white stains.
