I do cover furniture though, just in case! Painting smaller ceilings is no big deal, bigger ones suck. :) If you have a broom you can take the end off and use the pole for your paint roller! Good luck!Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-14143852405892829652015-03-09T12:28:06.141-04:002015-03-09T12:28:06.141-04:00Me too Sarah, I think its awesome in there!

I love the light fixture! It makes a difference in the room and the blue paint does make it a positive, open space. I just painted my living room a pretty blue/lavender that I love! I haven't tackled the ceiling yet because it has awful tiles and I know it will take a lot of time but perhaps this summer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13411900549957186103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-35983705847011761012015-03-06T14:11:51.718-05:002015-03-06T14:11:51.718-05:00I painted my porch ceiling a light blue and it'...I painted my porch ceiling a light blue and it's been several years without bugs.. I'm planning to do the back porch and see if it keeps away the mud daubers and paper wasps. If it works, then I'll be painting blue under the eaves - last year I did not see the nest and walked by and was attacked by them. Not a lot of fun, but I now keep wasp spray in my garden bucket!<br /><br />I did some research and the old blue paint did have some chemical in it - milk paint with lye. The lye was apparently the ingredient which kept the bugs away. Since the paint faded, it would have to be refreshed every few years and so, a new layer of lye was applied.SpinningStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988891339643395864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-40742438713113146172015-03-06T13:50:51.147-05:002015-03-06T13:50:51.147-05:00I love painted ceilings, but newer houses have too...I love painted ceilings, but newer houses have too much up there. In my master as I write: <br />6 can lights, 2 A/C vents, 1 large intake vent, Ceiling Fan, 2 speakers (stereo), 4 pop-out sprinklers, and a smoke alarm. It's painted Navajo White, matte finish. Everything sort of <br />blends. Kitchen/family room the same way. So I look at your ceilings in envy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14845782591423781366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-43994675717410641682015-03-06T10:54:57.968-05:002015-03-06T10:54:57.968-05:00I was wondering the same thing.

My foyer ceiling is painted almost the same shade as your beadboard and trim, and the walls are mocha. I am starting on the master ceiling the weekend - it will be a blush pink with mocha and high gloss white trim - I just started to see a trend :-) It took some major salesmanship on the master bedroom to convince my husband, but he sees the vision now! I love*love*love painted ceilings but I will give a word of caution. Realtors get a little snippy about them. No matter though. I have sold five homes in ten years, three within a day of listing, and ceiling color has never been a point of negotiation.
