First Paint Job

When we bought our house our stair railings were painted white, so we could carefully identify all the black finger prints. When I scrubbed the spots the paint came off. Rather unpleasant sight after four years.

A dull colorway with all white and beige. The little boy on the wall is Henry's self portrait in kindergarten.

This is what I did when the guys left me alone for two whole days -- first Henry went on a twelve-hour day trip to Sacramento, then they went to a father-son basketball camp. Posts and railings are painted dark red. I'd prefer darker, closer to black, but the brighter shade adds very pleasant, lively colors to the area.

Looking up to the landing. There are spots here and there when the red paint got on the white. I'm still trying to figure out how to get rid of them. We don't have the original color to do spot painting, but it shouldn't be hard to find a blinding white at the store.
