I love arches but I think it might close things in especially because you have uneven walls it looks like, ( the brick juts out into the hall and the opposite wall is flat, the hall way walls start at two different places) 5:36. What you might do to test it out is do a mock up with foam board and tape and live with it for a bit. See if 1) it works to place arches in those places or how much you’d have to build up with framing, and 2) see if you feel it closes the space even further/ loses light it’s currently getting from the living room windows…

The hard problem is the house has a very MCM structure which isn’t very arch friendly :( the other hard part is midcentury hallways were pretty darn narrow!

Also remember even the wall panel treatments, even with light paint start to encroach the space, plus pegs and such you can lose a good half a foot or more in an already small space.

I mean the black paint not turning out is ok since it’s just paint, but I would hate to have it not work the way you hope for after doing all the work!

If it turns out the hallway opening arches can’t work, you can still do the closet and even possibly some other areas in your house: that bathroom storage area, or maybe make your living room ikea units into built ins with arches? Or maybe other places?

I would cover the electric box with a large picture and I would leave the ceiling alone. Everything is going to be so beautiful and right!!! Happy and peaceful environment!

The floor idea is beautiful but you just need to ask yourself: "will I be tired of this look n a few years? if the answer is probably yes, then you may want to stick to a classy, yet "timeless" look.. and then just do a diamond patterned rug at the front door. Love your passion for creating your dream home.

The attic fan is expensive to remove and repair. I covered mine with the styrofoam panels and it looks like a feature. The electric box- cover with hinged art so you could just push open to get to box.

I would give my right arm for an attic fan! Our neighbor has one and it saves SO MUCH money cooling the house in the summer.

[Melossia]

I love the idea of the archways. For the electrical box I say do some artwork. For y’alls extras winter coats; I think maybe a clothing rack in the laundry room. Or possibly make a hallway closet.

[valeriestegall]

Leave the fan and cover the pane! Box with art, also please just finish the floor and add a rug.

[mzyoung]

For the electrical box, maybe build a cupboard style cabinet over it, so then when you open the cabinet you'll be able to access the electrical box.

[angelajones]

I love arches too, but I think it would make your space more closed in. Also, I think it would be cute if you keep the floors natural and but a diamond pattern runner in the entryway. Keep the attic fan. Your home is coming along beautifully.

I have an attic fan in my home and it’s AMAZING. It pulls in fresh air from outside and circulates the air, at times it’s better than AC!

[BStar]

Vacuum seal the coats and store under a bed

[vibe]

Is there a space in your sunroom where u can carve out space to put a built in closet for the extra winter coats? It looks big out there.

[YoNikkiNicole]

Panels for the bottom I think it will make the space look taller. The attic fan is one of the things I miss growing up the breeze coming through the house was everything. But it was loud so yeah. It’s rare to find homes with them.

[pamelawillis]

Attic fans are used to keep mold away, circulation to help remove any moisture...besides the heat build up in attic. Use the peel and stick wallpaper over the entire wall and electric box would help it disappear

[deidrajames]

Lol. Sorry in advance y'all, for the book I'm about to write haha:
-I think you should leave the attic fan how it is. It's a charming cool feature, it's not something that you see often in homes!
-For the electrical box maybe you could paint it a neutral color, or same color as the wall so it blends better. I was thinking too it might be cute to frame it, (kind of like how you did your bedroom tv) to match the picture frames that you will hang in the hallway. That way it will look cuter and you still have easy access to it.
-I love your idea for the floors! With the diamond pattern.
-I think either wall panels or bead board would look gorgeous! The bead board with the diamond floor might look more vintage. The panels would probably look more modern paired with the floor while still adding some charm. I think it will look good either way.
-I think the arches will be pretty, my only concern is for the one leading into the living room. I noticed there's brick on one side so it might be difficult to add the arch there. But if there's a way to do it I say go for it!
-Can't wait to see the mudroom/closet area! I love the wallpaper idea too. Maybe y'all could store your extra winter coats in the guest bedroom closet?
-Lastly I think the blueprints would look so precious in the office.

Looking forward to this makeover, I know you will rock it as always! 😊💛

Hi Kayla, I like most of the ideas for the Hall Way. I’m not sure about the floor plan but I’m sure you will make the right choices on the makeover.❤

[aubriemckoy]

The blue wallpaper is adorable and I think it would look so cute in that space! And the bead board on the wall.

[maryholloway]

You are so blessed with vision and talent! Do yo thang sis!!

[mamadukezzz]

Create a door picture or mirror so it opens like a door over that electrical box so u can get to it if needed ! The ceiling maybe cover with boards like shiplap if possible ! Love your channel !
