Well, our hallway is just about complete. All I have left to do is add photos going up the stairs (which I still haven’t decided exactly the look I want) and then it will be done. We added this narrow cabinet at the top of the stairs. It adds a little more storage to the space. And then I used this mirror that I kind of “borrowed” from my parent’s a few years ago. It’s been in our study above the fireplace but now that I’ve added a new piece of art in there (I’ll have photos of that next week) it worked nicely moving it up here.

Kylie Bryn Designs is a lovely Etsy shop that carries all sorts of fun
and colorful handmade jewelry. Amber sent some lovely items for the
girls and I several months ago and not only were the items beautiful but
the packaging was wonderful as well! Head on over and check out some
of their designs including this bracelet:
I hope you all have a lovely Tuesday!
I love it! So pretty and inviting! I'm working on our hallway right now too and hopefully will have a post up soon! There's something about hallways that I love, and yours is at the top of my list! Love all your lighting! Kathy@The Daily Nest
Wow, that cabinet is the perfect fit and creates a nice little "vignette" between the rooms – lovely!!! And more storage? Bonus! I do wish you could come and hang out with me in California so you could help me with a few "projects" around my house – haha!
Leah: )
That narrow cabinet is adorable! Great idea for storage that doesn't need a lot of space. I'm planning to hang photos going up my stairs too but still haven't decided on the arrangement.
The perfect touch!
Love the cabinet! And, the stair runner is gorgeous.
Your house looks so nice…love the colors. I'll have to check out the jewelry on the etsy shop you mentioned. Have a lovely day!
PS – I can't find Kylie Brin Designs on etsy! And there's no link in your blog post. Help??
Hi Melanie! Bryn is spelled with a "y" (I'm guessing that was the issue when searching on Etsy). Also there are six links to Amber's shop in the post as well as the button on the sidebar 🙂
I love the way you decorate your home, it's so clean and simple, as in 'not cluttered with lots of stuff', everything draws my eye in, love it all.
Love the hallway. Your home is gorgeous, and I thoroughly enjoy your blog! Could you comment on the dresser in your blog header with the three circles in a row.
Thanks!
Thanks! It is from soft surroundings. You can read all about it here: http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/soft-surroundings-dresser-and-one.html
Oh this house, just one thing more lovely than the next 🙂 You have two of my favorite books there as well, My Antonia and Atonement!
Hi! Would you mind sharing the titles of the books on the cabinet? Love your blog and style!
Love it! So fresh and inviting! Do you know what color stain you used for the floors? Thanks!
Thanks! We haven't done anything to the floors, so unfortunately I don't know what color was used when they were put down–sorry!
very nice decoration of your home … Greetings from Turkey …
The wood! The clock! The stair runner! Stunning and wanted badly!!
As always, it looks great. 🙂 I'm curious, though, as I've been looking at narrow cabinets like yours above, possibly for my entryway. Is it still quite useful being so narrow? What types of things do you have in yours? Thanks!
The wallpaper int he bathroom looks stunning!
I know you have mentioned you are not thrilled with the rug (runner) down the steps- it is due to durability? Or pattern? What would you suggest in it's place. What you did with it is exceptionally lovely!
Thanks! It has held up really well, but I think I would choose a more natural rug like a sisal or jute.
Love your home! Our home has a very similar layout and lighting situation and I have tried a dozen grays, many of which turn purple in our poorly lit foyer and stairwell. Would you recommend Horizon or Moonshine to reduce the risk of crazy undertones in the evenings or in artificial lighting? I can stand green or blue to some extent, but purple makes me bonkers!
Francesca
Thank you! Horizon looks very light blue in some lighting, and moonshine can look sort of greenish in some lighting, but moonshine is my absolute favorite light color!
Thank you for responding so quickly! I'm picking up a sample of moonshine today! I'm using your home as a beautiful guideline for ours 😊
I love it all! You have a lovely home! I just purchased the PB Mia flushmount and pendant for our new home. Could you tell me what size pendant you used? I worried I may have gotten it to small. We have 10' ceilings.
Thanks, Nicole! Jenni is pretty sure she went with the Medium. Hope this helps!

Thank you! 🙂
