The upstairs hallway in our home needs some love. What would you do to transform this hallway? Recommendations on paint colors, a runner, and a light fixture are especially appreciated.

Sorry about the clutter. Such is life after recently moving.

1. View from the top of the stairs.

2. Looking down the hallway from near the top of the stairs.

3. Walking down the hallway and turning left, this is what you see.

4. Standing by the bathroom, looking the opposite direction.

5. Standing at the end of the hallway, looking back towards where the top of the stairs is. The door leads out onto an upper deck.
