Hi Carol - yes, I did end up going with the sage green paint for the study after all. It looked completely different on the swatch, almost a muted olive, but once it dried across the whole wall it settled into this soft, earthy tone that actually works really well with the oak trim. I was worried it might pull too yellow in afternoon light, but it stays pretty neutral. I used a low-sheen eggshell finish because the walls have some texture and flat paint tends to show every little roller mark. The first coat was patchy, but the second coat evened out nicely. I still need to cut in around the window frame and baseboards. I borrowed an angled brush from Tom and that helped a lot with the corners. Let me know if you want me to come over and help with your hallway next weekend - I have the drop cloths and painter's tape already. Just let me know what color you're thinking and I can grab a sample quart before I head over. It's really not that bad once you get going. Also, thanks for the recommendation on the ladder - that little step stool was perfect for reaching the top edge without stretching.

Hey Jenna - I finally got around to organizing the pantry shelves like we talked about. I picked up those stackable wire bins from the hardware store and labeled everything with a little chalk label maker I found online. It took about an hour and a half, but now I can actually see what I have without pulling everything out. I grouped canned goods by type, put baking supplies on the middle shelf, and moved all the grains and pasta into tall clear containers. The biggest difference was just getting rid of things that were expired - there were three boxes of old crackers and a bag of dried beans from probably two years ago. I also wiped down all the shelves with a mild cleaner before putting things back. It feels so much more usable now. You mentioned your spice drawer was getting chaotic - I found these little stepped risers that let you see every jar in one row. I can send you the link if you want. Anyway, just wanted to share that it actually made a difference and it wasn't as big a project as I thought it would be. Let me know if you want help with yours.
