Stencil status update

Since I got the hallway painted, I've kind of stalled on my painting project.  I guess I forgot that in order to actually paint the stencil, first I'd have to have the stencil in my possession.  And in order to have it in my possession, I'd have to order it.  So - I'm still probably at least a week away from having any actual results to show you, so in the meantime I thought I'd post the stencil I just ordered.

The actual pattern is just one of these flowers, like this:

The pattern is about 3 feet high and 7 inches wide.  I picked it because I like the look of it - clean and spare, with minimal fussiness - and also because the long thin shape of it will best fit into the odd layout of the wall area in the hallway.  If I had chosen a thicker one I'd have been able to use it less in the hallway because it wouldn't have fit in the narrow spaces between doors.

So there you have it.  The color palette is still undecided, but hopefully the pattern will arrive in the mail soon so I'll have something real to show you!
