Getting things done

It was a productive weekend.  I finished painting the hallway in Boothill Brown, so am now officially ready for Stencilmania!  Let's kick this off with a quick before and after, shall we?

A slightly different angle - I think these two pics really show the nice contrast between the brown and the white trim, and also the white floor.   

I think going with the brown was a good decision.  As my pal Amanda pointed out the other day, it's probably a little much to have more than two colors going on in one connected space.  That much contrast would probably do more to make the room feel small and distracting than just continuing the brown.

So, next steps:

• Order the stencil
• Decide on a color scheme for the stencils on the hallway walls

Someday I'd also like to replace the ugly overhead light in the hallway, but with multiple vacations planned this year, and with still paying off the fridge for a while, I think the budget will not allow for that quite yet.
