Upstairs Hallway: Part 2

I was very anxious to finish the hallway before the paint, un-mixed and then would not be the same color!  When I opened the bucket the next day I was happy to see this.  It looks like the same color! Although I am worried I won't have enough to finish.  I can't really make more of it. 


So I can't remember if I said this already, but I bought a different tape, just to see if it was any better. and OMG it worked SO much better!  I am a little nervous though along the carpet on the stairs.  I am not sure if tape will be enough to stop it, and carpet is a little harder to clean then the wood floors.  Just a little.  I will try to be more careful painting along the edges! 

 
Paint, paint, painting away!  It is looking like it is all the same color!  Yay.

 
So this corner up here is going to be difficult.  It is on the stairs so I can't really use a chair or anything to get up there, but there is that tiny space between the top of the window and the ceiling.

 
Turns out, it was easier then I thought it would be, although I got a little paint on the ceiling.  Boo.  However now I am all done, and I had plenty of paint!  I even have some left over.  
 

What do you think?
 


I like the color, a lot, but I almost feel like it is too pretty.   So I don't know if I will keep it.  Maybe I am just not used to having so much of my house now painted pretty colors and looking nice.  I am thinking I might paint stripes on to the wall now... not the whole hallway, just the wall on the side of the stairs.  I wish I could have a video camera to record Grumpy's expression when he reads that.  "Stripes?"  He will probably say.  Yup, maybe the off white color that is in the living room.  That would probably look good.  Hmmmmm.  I will think on it a little bit.

Kisses~

You think stripes would look good??
