Stage one - complete!

So, I'm really changing the walls upstairs. I want do something with wainscoat (yes, I love the stuff). So, I decided to take it all the way to the top of the windows. I also wanted some red in the room (well, yes, red...i love red). But, I need to lighten up the walls because my carpet is going to be darker. So, I'm putting red above the wainscoat, you'll just see peeks of it above everything else. This last weekend, I completed painting the red. It looks a little funny right now but I have the vision! I wish I could have done more but, alas, work called me to vegas so I could jump off the skytower. :) Here are pictures of my slightly red walls.
