Never mind I know that answer DAVE! But maybe the hottie that puts up with ya might want to give it a shot? I say paint, you do have transitional pulls. The plant for one, but it won't always be there. What you think about two toning the pillar? Vertical strips with an third transition color or even the same two colors but thiner dark strips. You might also think about the good old sponge dable, but I would also think about 3 color dabs. How much work you want to do? Never mind I know that answer DAVE!

Plus it seems you get more visual stimulation from the seating area. You can go totally off the wall and paint your ceiling a different color. The fifth wall gets no respect. corner bead = yawner feed The color is great, dark is almost always better and it gives the foyer a voice.

I am certain I could keep this up until sunday. but back to your dilemma, the color looks great. I wouldn't have thought that ending the new color on a corner would be so controversial! I say leave it. so your experiment has left me sitting here on vacation in my own hovel wondering if I too should be making a run to Lowe’s to paint that wall over there that doesn’t look quite right.

I like the color and the look of it but, you need something to transition it from wall to wall, color to color. They have nice corner beads now that almost look like they're carved and stuff. That's my suggestion... decorative corner beads on the two corners... full height. pre-paint them and use tiny finish nails and you won't even need to caulk, etc. I agree.

Say there was some vertical strip (like molding although I don't think molding would work in this case) that separated the foyer so that the paint ended there. I think I'd like it better after I got used to it. We have something like this in our house. Didn't care for it at first but after a time I got used to it.
