We have a really long hallway in our small condo in Florida, and I had a hard time deciding how to decorate it so it doesn't look like a landing strip. I decided to paint the bottom three feet a glossy white, add an interesting chair rail with star trim blocks, and add wainscoting frames. The stars are rubbed with a pale red paint to look like a starfish.

| Our little starfish, or is it a Texas star? |
On each end of the hallway I just framed the plain scrapbook sheets of beach paper and put them in a blue frame.
For the rest of the pictures I used scrapbook paper as the background and glued a letter in the middle of the paper, decorated the letter with stickers, framed them in a white frame, and hung them down the hall. Easy Peasy!
 |
| You can see I used two different colors of the letters and staggered them one on top of the other. Then when you read the the words on the background paper you can see that the coconut tree on the sand sticker was the perfect choice. |
 |
| I love this water drop paper and what better enhancement stickers than, "making a SPLASH", and snorkeling equipment. |
 |
| The "A" background has the phrase "Relaxing At The Beach", and what better way to relax than a lounge chair. |
 |
| OK, Catch the Wave, starts with a "C" and I couldn't resist rolling the paper a little bit to make it wavy. C the wavy paper? Couldn't resist. |
 |
These are two of the most important items I pack for the beach, suntan lotion and flip flops! In this case "H" could be for HOT!
|
This was such a great project and the pictures were pretty easy, and I get complements all the time on how cute the hall turned out.
Enough of all this typing, I am going to the BEACH!
