Hooker Hall no more

About 2 1/2 years ago, Ben and I had the brilliant idea to paint our hall a nearly black, green. On top of that, we decided to paint the hall doors so that they looked like red stained wood. I called it “Hooker Hall” because it kind of had a red light district feel. (Just the kind of feelings you want to evoke as you enter each of your kids’ rooms) I knew it was awful when I did it – I blamed hormones from being pregnant, don’t know what Ben excuse was – but I haven’t been motivated to change it until now. Thank goodness for sweet friends! Laura came over tonight and helped me knock a bunch of it out. She likes to paint…bless her! The color I chose for the hall is a little extreme for my house, especially on the wall…Hooker Hall is now so white and bright that you have to squint to look at it and you hear a little “ahhhhhh” like you’re before the pearly gates…yes, it’s true…I used white on a wall! Tracy, you can stop laughing now.

Let’s put this little decorating mishap behind us and move on. Goodbye Hooker Hall. Can’t say I’ll miss you.
