Our home was originally a ranch home that was then dormered. Our downstairs hallway has always felt like a long hallway to bedrooms, because, that is what it used to be ! I have wanted to make a cut out "window" since we purchased our home 4 years ago so it was long over due. This past weekend, we finally did it ! Here is a picture frame of the progression of the hallway. First picture (top left) was with carpet, second (top right) was when we installed tile, third (bottom left) a different piece of furniture at the end of hallway and then the fourth (bottom right) the fabulous cut out (and different furniture again lol.) The transformation over the years... Here are some views of the new and improved hallway I love it so much, it makes me happy every morning when I come down to make my morning coffee. Seriously, it's the little things.
