I have too many shoes

Finally our hallway renovations are near completion, it might not look like much but just a few months ago we had a leaking, drab and dark hallway. Now its been replastered , new electrics installed, the woodwork been replaced and new hardwood flooring has been put in place. We've kept the colour scheme neutral to keep the space light and airy.  The new spotlights we've had installed on both floors have given it that 'Grand Designs' feel.  Its like we've had an extension added onto the hallway with the sense of space and light we now have.  To get our house (a 1930's 3-bed semi) to this standard has been really hard work, stressful and such a long time ,so its lovely to finally see such an achievement. With thrift in mind, rather than splash out on new accessories for the hallway I'm going to search through my attic for stored away vintage finds to complement it.  I've been searching for the perfect spot for an antique chrome and pale blue clock and ...

I'm back at work and the house renovations are continuing, so my house is covered in dust and sawdust. While I'm fed up with the mess, I know that its worth the wait to see this next stage completed on giving our home a new lease of life. Fingers crossed, I'll soon be making some grand exits from my lovely new hallway just like the picture. Hmmm, might just have to acquire some foxy,new red shoes to complete the look. I think the shoes would really enhance the look of the hallway - who needs an ornamental umbrella stand or a Yukka plant! A great pair of shoes sitting prettily on my fabulous new hard wood floors would easily do the job instead. Some shoes really are a work of art after all! ( image courtesy of istock)
