Hallway Makeover...the "before"

This is the 1st floor main hallway in our home...

It has a yellow/cream color paint and a tiny little light on the ceiling.

The ceilings are 9 feet tall, and the wood trim is huge (as for most old homes).

The color, and lighting are all WRONG 

for this hallway!

So I have electrician coming out to install a larger light that

I picked out at Lowes,

and I am still deciding on a color that make the large trim "POP" (aka become more noticeable).

The color will be from the blue/gray family....and I will buy it as soon as Sherwin Williams

has another sale.

They have the best quality paint, 

and we have had a lot of experience with paint in our last home,

where every single wall needed to be painted!

Anyway, here is the before......
