I finally have been able to work on painting the stairwell. It took two weekends, but I managed to avoid buying any new equipment. It only felt like it was 75 feet up! You think this photo is dizzying; imagine being 10 up a ladder with brush and pan in hand, cantilevered across the abyss to reach the trim! We used a lighter shade from the living room color palette for the upper reaches of the stairway walls, and then the same trim shade as in the entry and living room. That's a total of three shades of yellow. Fun to look at, but a bitch to clean brushes for each color! The new colors really, really brighten up the stairs. The new fixture we bought months ago now can actually do some good instead of competing against the dark paneling.That's it; everything's now been painted on the main floors. Nothing to do now but start touching-up the scratches we've inflicted the past 10 months.

Doh! Actually there is some left to do: the little area at the top of the stairs. It's not really a hall, but all the rooms open into the space there. Lots of trim painting, not too much wall work. It never ends.
