Front staircase

We are starting to tackle painting the front staircase. This is a bigger project than it sounds; the railings still have the dirt on them from sitting outside last summer. So I just scraped and scrubbed and puttied and sanded and primed the old wood walls.

Then we put the first coat of this color on the walls and we don't like it . . . to varying degrees, but we both want a change. So now we are scraping old paint again to find what was there before and being very indecisive about how to proceed. At least at this point most of it is prepped and primed, so when we do make up our minds we can just do it.
