DIY is finished - or, I won't be painting again any time soon

It is finished.  Not to copy the last words of our Lord, but it does fit this situation.

There were too many long stretches of time lapse during this project, but now, I can say the foyer is complete and I'm happy with the results.  It's certainly not a perfect job, but I can say I did every bit of it by myself - so no one else is to blame for the imperfections. 

I did learn some things that will help with any possible future wallpaper removal and painting projects down the road.  So I guess as long as I learned some things, and am happy with the current results, that's what is important for now. [For other novice painters, I did learn that the color can be different from regular paint and when using the paint and primer in one.]

We no longer have to turn on the foyer light when someone comes to the door - it is light and cheerful and the sunlight through the window in the door bounces off the new wall color (Sherwin Williams "Pale Artichoke").  Before, the dark wine color absorbed the light and make it almost cave-like.  Welcome light!
