hallelujah

Cue the chorus, pour some champagne, find some confetti, do whatever you do to get your celebration on because at LONG last, the hallway project is done. And it only took 8 months!

It really wasn't all that hard of a project. There were just a few snaffus along the way- Home Depot cutting the boards wrong, not having the right size drill bit, breaking 4,278 drill bits, etc. And of course a dozen other more pressing projects that popped up along the way. But, with less than a month left to enjoy it, the project can be crossed off the ol' to-do list. I'd probably even do it again if I had to do it over, but I'm not sure David would agree.

Let's take a look.


Most importantly, the puppies like it. And yes I know it is time to take my wreath down.

A little close-up action.

But really the most important thing is that it is immensely useful. Already a few days in 
and I have only found a coat not on a hook once.

 And now a pseudo-panoramic view. 
Also, see how different the paint looks in each room with different lighting?

We both are really pleased with how it turned out. I may or may not be scheming up a place for something similar in the new house (hey, now I know what I'm doing). Unfortunately there isn't a spot for a full-on replica.

I was going to break this project down for you all, remember I started to here, but clearly you don't want advice from me on how to tackle a project like this. If you are interested in your own wall-o-hooks, go here. It is where I drew my inspiration and got most of my direction from.

  2. 8 months, that is normal for Courteau standards, isn't it?
