We picked the paint last week, tested an area and then decided it was too dark. I went back to Sherwin Williams and got the next shade lighter. We taped everything, got the prep work done and started painting....only to realize the color was too light. Ugh, back to the store. Sherwin Williams is GREAT! No questions or hassles, they just remixed the gallons to a little darker but not quite as dark as the first color. Ahhh, the fun.
We actually started painting (with the right color!) on Sunday. Since our entryway is open to both floors, it's been quite a challenge painting the very top. On Day 1, we painted the entire first floor area and the computer niche above the front door. Here's some before pictures and some of the progress.
BEFORE: Front door, entryway
BEFORE: Stairs
AFTER: looking up from front door (notice the paint line?)
AFTER: area above hallway and office
Hopefully I'll be posting pictures of the completed paint project soon....VERY soon!

The color looks very pretty. I don't know how you two do it - not only all this painting in high places, but also taking before and after pictures AND writing about it on the blog - you have alot more energy than I ever did after I had kids!!
