Hallway Redo

Had today off but didnt get much done.  Had to have the repair guys in to look at our pellet stove.  It still isnt working right but they cant come back till Mon.  I did get the hall way cleaned out some in prep to redo it.
The bench hat is there under all our coats and my workbag usually spends summers out in my garden.  I dont think its going back there.  I plan on painting it and keeping it there.  Im going to put up a row of hooks in the right hand corner to hang the coats on.  I have an old 4 pane window that im going to also paint and hang over the bench with a valance to fake a window.  Im going to put a small shelf under it to put candles on and other decorative things.  I want to put a runner down the hall also.  The walls have paneling put over what I am sure is old plaster walls and I want to put a nice fat baseboard up with wainscotting and then use some of the paintable wallpaper over that.  This is going to be a long drawn out job as I can only do it as I can afford each part.  I will post pics as I go.
