Busy Little Foyer

Today was Foyer Day.  The baseboards got a new coat of paint.  (Actually, three coats, to cover up all the nicks and dings.  The foyer's had a hard life.)  The trim around the front door and around the door going into the front parlor got painted, too.  A broken piece of wood frame around a transom window got repaired and painted.  

And then...and then...

And then I hung up one strip of wallpaper.   Yes, I know, the pattern's a bit busy.  But there really isn't much wall space in here (a 6'x8' room with three doors and a window) and it's not a room where folks are going to hang out for long, so I think  it works.  Besides, the wallpaper's a nod to the original, which as far as I can tell from the ghost-marks on the plaster was a very small trellis pattern with bunches of flowers or something here and there.  I thought Mrs. Kelly might like it.  I'm all about making her happy so she doesn't start her knocking on the doors again.
