🌟 Before & After: Creating an Inspiring Hallway for My Beans 🌟
I’m thrilled to share a project that brings me joy every time I pass by it! This little transformation in our hallway is a perfect reminder of how even small changes in our home can have a big impact. It’s all about choosing how you want your space to make you feel.
Before: Plain Hooks and No Inspiration
For the longest time, this area was super basic—just two simple hooks on the wall for jackets and bags. Honestly, I wasn’t a fan. We have plenty of closet space for coats and bags, so the hooks felt out of place and uninspiring. They didn’t add any value to the space, and worse, they didn’t excite me or my girls (my little "beans") as they headed down the stairs each morning.
That’s when I asked myself:
How do I want this space to feel?
And how do I want my girls to feel as they walk downstairs every morning?
The answer came almost instantly—I wanted it to feel inspiring!
After: A Wall of Inspiration
I took down those boring hooks and decided to create a hallway that would brighten our mornings and set a positive tone for the day. With just a few simple posters and frames from the Dollar Store, we completely transformed this little corner into something that lifts our spirits.
Here’s how we did it:
Frames & Posters
We found inexpensive white frames at the Dollar Store and filled them with fun, uplifting posters. These posters are filled with positive, motivational messages that remind my girls to embrace the day with joy and confidence.
3M Hooks for Easy Hanging
Instead of drilling holes in the wall, we used 3M hooks to hang the frames. It was quick, easy, and keeps everything looking neat and clean. Plus, it’s renter-friendly if you ever need a simple solution for hanging!
Now, every time we walk down the stairs, we’re greeted by bright and cheerful reminders like “Begin Here, Begin Today” and “Find What Makes Your Heart Smile.” It’s a small change, but it has completely shifted the energy of the space.
Why This Matters: We Get to Choose
This project was a powerful reminder that we get to choose how our spaces make us feel. I didn’t need a big budget or a complex plan—just a clear vision and a little creativity. And now, every morning when my girls head downstairs, they see these positive messages, giving them a little boost of encouragement as they start their day.
For me, the best part is how much it makes me smile every single time I walk by it. It’s amazing how much joy a small change can bring!
What’s Next for Your Home?
I’m so happy with how this turned out, and I hope it inspires you to think about a space in your home that could use a little extra joy. What’s something you could tweak or transform to make your home feel more like you?
Let’s choose joy and inspiration in our homes, one small project at a time.
