A tiger print + polka dots = happy hall

My hall has always bothered me. It’s long, doesn’t get a lot of light and we tend to just dump stuff there when we come in. It’s also the first thing you see when you come in the door. Well, no more. Now what you see is this fine fella… Mr Tiger. I got this print specifically for the hall but he felt like he needed some company… So I got some little shelves from Present & Correct, and happily got sent some amazing PolkaLOVE! from Denmark to brighten up the walls too… I originally bought Kerry‘s Good Times print for a friend… but then forgot to give it to them! Whoops! So I decided to keep it… (It wasn’t the plan all along. Honest!) The other shelf is currently ‘exhibiting’ a few cards I picked up in Japan and my cross-stitched charity find. Not sure if I’ve finished putting up the PolkaLOVE! yet, still have loads more… but I’m also loving how well it sits with our Hang It All (generous wedding present!). All in all, a much happier hall than before. And hopefully all the colour/tiger-ness will distract from the mess of discarded shoes, bags, bike helmets etc etc! ****** P.S. Has anyone ever successfully kept their hall tidy? If so, do tell! Shoes in a suitcase is how I’m rolling right now! P.P.S. Regulars here might notice I’m blogging less nowadays. I’m over on Instagram pretty much every day though. Anyone else feel that it’s just easier than blogging?
