However, I did want at least one statement colour in the house. I've been intrigued lately by images of darkly painted walls, like this:
I thought, why not just go for it? I had also seen an article in House & Home magazine about how a dark teal is a "new neutral". So, a couple of months ago, Joe and I went out and bought a can of "Plumage" paint by Martha Stewert.

As soon as we got it home, I began to question my idea. Would it really be a good thing to paint the hallway such a dark colour??!
After some hesitation, we went for it. It was a seriously challenging feat considering the height of the walls over the stairway, but we managed. And I couldn't be happier! It looks amazing! Here are a few shots from a few different angles:
I'm pretty pleased at how well it seems to tie everything together. One more project down! Many, many more to go.
On a completely unrelated note, we have a mourning dove living in our front planter! It is very tame...I even touched it's tail feathers today. And I was in it's face taking pictures. It didn't budge! I'm worried it may be injured or ill?! Has anyone else ever experienced something like this?
Love the dark teal! Great choice!
