Front Entrance - before and afters

The front entrance was a dark redish colour. Since we had extra tiling left over I decided to brighten up the front hall a bit. it was the stick on tiles so I didn't have to pull up the old tiles which thankfully were laying flat (unlike the bathroom ones). The only problem was the layers of dirt that had to be scrubbed off. Once it was cleaned and the closet doors were off (the doors took 2 1/2 hours to get off!! The screws were so rusted that they kept breaking off before I could get them out. Fun times!) Overall though, it was a quick job and makes a big difference when you walk in teh front door.
