Stairwell Painting

[firstfrost]

So, I've been slaving away in the dust mines, painting the stairwell. You may remember the old stair to the third floor, as seen here: harrock drywalled it, then I painted it white. But white is boring, so now it's getting frivolized into a paint garden. The ceiling got sponged with light blue "sky" and the treads got painted light brown, with darker brown spongies. The plain light brown would probably be fine for a nice sensible stairwell, without getting too silly, but the eventual plan is to add some stencils on the risers and along the edges, like so: Some imagination must be used in that last one. :) More pictures when the stencils finally start going on.

Yeah, I was noticing the tiling, but I was secretly fond of it, because I know in my heart all textures are tiled. The sponge is rotated some, but not frequently enough (so I ended up with multiple overlapping tilings).

The walls are actually pretty severely white, so it'd have to be off-white-on-white. :) I haven't seen any good birch patterns, though. :(

(Curses! My larger crop of stencils arrived, and the wisteria vines are about half an inch too wide. I was optimistic in my space estimation. But they might do scaling, I'll check and see how expensive that is.)
