i decided for de rigueur raw and unfinished concrete floor to complement the smooth concrete floor in our narrow hallway. before the makeover, it looked like a hodgepodge of floor materials since there were ceramic tiles, plyboard, vinyl, and concrete.
i had to tone down the "coldness" of floor with the help of vintage frames, warm lighting, floor-grazing curtains, and high-gloss black decors.
the paint-dipped native baskets found a new spot on top of the shelf, which i painted in the same color as the walls to help it disappear in the background. since i have yet to find a plant that could thrive in this sunlight-deprived room, i chose a bird of paradise painting to create the illusion of outdoor.
i did a little bit of switcheroo with the daybed in my bedroom-slash-closet-slash-work space and the unused mattress in the tv room. i then went the diy route for the rest of the furniture. an old bench was repainted to serve as a temporary place for the guest's overnight bags and shoes. a coat of black paint was also applied to the old cabinet from my closet for added storage. the black woven basket at the top of cabinet holds extra blankets and pillows for easy access.
here are the before and during transformation pictures.
i had a great time doing this limited budget makeover, and i'm thinking of re-styling the hallway soon for a more cohesive look. until then, have a great weekend guys!
