One of my most recent projects has been to update the stairway that leads from the garage to the kitchen and to the basement. When we first moved in it was a violent shade of sea green from ceiling to trim. Not only was it an unsettling color, but it kind of made the basement seem that much more creepy.
Finally, I had enough and decided to do something about it. I decided to continue the color from the kitchen to the stairway to unify the space and picked out some striped fabric for the curtains. After many, many coats of paint the green was covered and it was time to sew the curtains! Its been a while since I had gotten out my sewing machine and was a little nervous at first. Thank goodness it was a fairly straight forward project!
I think they turned out pretty well! As luck would have it, I found an old picture stashed away with the things we still had packed in boxes and it matched almost perfectly.
Here is the end result. I think overall it looks much more welcoming. I'm just so glad that the sea green is gone! What do you think?
