Hallway
A handy feature of this photo is that you can see both sides of the hall at once. This is the area just inside the front door. We’re using a freestanding press for our shoes and polishing stuff. It’s very handy as we remove our outside shoes when we come into the house and put on sandles or slippers.
It sounds a bit wierd to some people but it’s amazing how much cleaner it makes things. Plus the fact that I like to put my feet up on the couch. I can’t really do that with shoes on and taking them off just for that is annoying.
The hall (most of the downstairs) has a glossy dark tile installed. We got them because they look really good and don’t show up dirt. It makes me wonder how people can live with the dirt that gets ground into carpets in other houses.
We can really see the value of paying for a good tiler – the place still looks perfect.
The wierd looking white lines on the wall are reflections from the flash.
