All the steps are done and I'm thrilled with the results.
Before:

I got a Thomasville light fixture and bulbs at Home Depot to update this monstrosity after painting the stripes.

  I went with a oil rubbed bronze finish so it would stand out against the stripes.  This said it is $218 online (but that is CRAZY!).  I paid $139 in the store without a coupon so I don't know if it was a weekly sale or something weird going on with the prices. 

 Do you like it?  I am in love!

 With the light on!  After:

 Lastly, the pictures that were hanging in the foyer had different frame finishes so I got some spray paint with a hammered bronze finish to make them a little special for the room.  I couldn't find the Oil Rubbed Bronze (ORB) paint that everyone raves about, but I'm so happy I chose this!

Again, this is what I had before:

And after!

 Here's the other posts about this project: Part 1 & Part 2

 So we left off in the foyer with the wallpaper removed (yayyy!) and ready to prime and paint. The dingy yellow is from the wallpaper.  Can't wait to get rid of that!

First I had to paint the trim in the foyer, including the front door.  Two coats.  This is the first coat.

 And then after the second coat of trim paint is dried, I taped off the trim so I can start priming the walls.

 

This post is mainly pictures.  So here it is primed....

 Primed....

 And after the primer had dried for a day, I taped off for the horizontal stripes I'm going to paint.  The tutorials are everywhere, and to get a perfectly crisp line you should really follow this one, it was great.

 Here is the area with the base coat of paint over the taped lines so the edges won't bleed.

 And then, after the base coat is painted over the taped edges and is dried, you can paint the colored stripes!

 

Ahhhh!  Here is the after!  I cannot tell you how excited I am about this update.  It is such a huge change from the wallpaper.

 

Just one more time.

Here is the first part of this project.  More to come.  I still need to update the light and hang pictures with an updated finish to the frame.

Since I've removing wallpaper, I decided to remove the wallpaper in the foyer.  I must have really good wallpaper karma, cause this only took 15 minutes....

Before:

 How could anyone actually choose this????  I just don't get what happened to humanity in 1976.

 During:

 It literally came off in sheets.  No water, just pulling on each side.  I'm ready to prime!

 After:

And now I'm prepped for the primer and the paint!!
