To paint or not to paint?

I'm in a painting mood....and though I'm done painting indoors until fall -- unless this cruddy weather keeps up.

So....here's what I'm thinking...

THIS....

TO THIS ??

I've seen it done, and like it....

                                                  before                                   after

 "Do one thing every day that scares you." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Anyone care to weigh in on this idea?
