You may remember when I blogged about our hallway before…
Almost every single bit of it was tan.
The trim, the walls, the ceiling, the cabinetry…even the glass part of the light fixture was a light tan color. So when the folks at Dutch Boy asked if they could come shoot a video for their new campaign at our house, I knew *exactly* which space we could paint! 😀
Here’s a look at the new color…
It’s called Waterslide and I just love it!
We painted the trim, ceiling and cabinetry Ultra White, and everything feels nice and fresh now.
The farm-y new light is called the Benjamin Bomber Porcelain Stem Light and it came from the folks at Barnlight Electric.
It’s easily my favorite little thing in the entire little space! 😀
I’ll publish a separate post with the scoop on the countertop and shelves, and in the meantime, here’s the video the crew put together for DutchBoy.com:
It was such a fun day, and we’re very grateful they decided to swing down South!
Rhonda Merry
It looked nice before, but GREAT after. I enjoy seeing your remodels and makeovers.
Jenny B.
So fun! You guys are too cute. I love it! 🙂
Dianne
You two are so cute together!!! Love the hall.
Maureen
I LOVE this color! We are just about to embark on a kitchen refresh and since our living room, which is right off the kitchen, is East Coast Blue, this Waterslide looks like a perfect compliment! I have to research Old Dutch to see if I can get it in Canada! Love your style 🙂
Karen
This video is great!! LOVE your style.
Joy Jenkins
Looks beautiful…as always!
Celeste
Wow! It turned out beautifully and I love the color you chose. I need to keep that one in mind for something around my house too.

Lyla,
I always read, I never comment. (So sorry.) But I love, love, love your little laundry space and hall. Can’t wait to see the full details. AND the video is darling. Like really darling. 🙂 – Dori –
P.S. I loved what you said about “Father time and Mother nature” – perfect.
Cathy
Very nice! Can’t wait to see what you do to the bedroom.
kathleen
Looks great you guys! Love the runner.
Jenn
I love that color. It looks so pretty!! Also, what is the color you guys used in the room with the white credenza/dresser? That grey color also looks nice. I’m searching for the perfect grey for my kitchen. Thanks. Also I love the wood shelves and brackets (another thing I’m looking to do in my kitchen remodel).
Carrie Adams
I love it! I wish you lived near me, LOL I need help with my house! I just adore you and your ideas, especially the little touches!

So many questions… Anxious to the see the play by play and details.
Deanna Titzler
Great video! It definitely shows your personality. Love the makeover. Loved even more hearing your lovely voice. Now I know what you sound like when I read your posts! 🙂
Tracey
Looks so pretty!!!! Also, I love how you put this on video. So much better than just looking at pics. 🙂 Great idea…
Alli
I love the new color and the video is so cool. Now I want to change my “Happy Trails” beige in my hallway to something similar. My laundry area needs a total redo and you’ve given me some great ideas. Don’t want to gush, but I’m crazy about your stuff! 🙂
Kristen
I would love to know more about the shelves. I love them and think something similar would be perfect over our washer & dryer.
Christy Keyton
Looks just beautiful – love that Waterslide color and the old door used for the countertop. Especially love the keyhole left on the backsplash. So fun!
Cheri
Wow! I liked the tan, but that was before you made the magic happen 🙂 I just love your style. Thank you for sharing.
Cindy
Layla and Kevin: The hallway/laundry area looks great. I like the comment about “old and new”; it is so true and you two have the touch to make it all work!
Lauren Renaud
Where did you get your shelves?!?!
Kate
Layla, you knocked another right out of the park! So well done, as always. Love your remodels.
kristin
Great video, just adorable (if a video can be adorable 🙂 ). A perfect Dutch Boy video. Just LOVE the after. So fresh and love the way you style your rooms–always such thought put into your spaces and it shows!
Allison A.
Too stinking cute! Y’all, the makeover and Max!
Jody
I love the transformation and your parting words…”and now I want to work on the bedroom!” 🙂
Jodi
LOVE THIS! I love the wood shelves. Where did you find them? I NEED THEM!
MimiG2002
Love the color. Great job on all the finishes too. Thanks for sharing.
Iryna
Wow, that’s awesome! Love the video! And the little details! And the cat and the dog playing in the hallway 🙂
Julie
Layla, this fantastic, fresh transformation using simple things like paint and little details is so inspiring to me! You have been the biggest influence on helping me find my style. I can’t thank you enough! I’ve sort of floundered in my own home, design-wise, for years, yearning for a look that reflected my family’s style and would be a soft place to land, but it wasn’t until I found your blog that I began to get a real vision for things I could do in my home to make it feel like me. I laughed when you said on the video that you didn’t want to keep walking through the hall with blinders on, more or less. I know the feeling! But thanks to you, I am making changes, ripping out carpet, painting wood and even (gulp!) knocking out drywall. I am so excited at the thought of actually walking into my home and taking a deep breath and just feeling…good…about it. Love you, love your style, am a Shoot Fly Shoot student, a Layla T-shirt buyer and I’ve prayed for your adoption adventure. Thanks!
Deborah
It looks Solomon great. The beige wasn’t bad but it certainly wasn’t you. Love it.
heidig

marie wallis
You are amazing!! Everything you put your hand to turns out just fabulous. I love to see everything you do, even if it’s only making over a tea cup haha! Only so much time in the day right? so if I have to delete other mails to get through them all I will never delete yours ‘cos they’re always heart inspiring and so lovely. Can’t wait to see lots and lots more of these videos with you both. Well and the doggie and cat too. You are a great team, love love love everything you guys do.. Hugs and all sorts of great wishes from Ireland.
Linda
Love this transformation and the paint color. What is the source of the hardway you used for the shelving?
Angela-Rose
Search Antique Revelry large arch cast iron shelf bracket. I ordered mine on shop4classics.com I found them to have the best pricing. 🙂
Shayna
Layla, it looks SO good! And I just LOVE the old door you used – definitely my favorite part! xo
Angela-Rose
I just ordered those shelf brackets for my kitchen shelves (which will look just like these!)…they arrive on Thursday! Yay…I must’ve learned a li’l something from reading your blog if I picked out the same ones without even knowing it!! 😉
Ashley
Y’all are so stink’in cute! Cannot wait for all the details! God bless!
Amanda Marie
This is gorgeous! I can’t wait to see more of it!
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh
