...Great post, illustrated with exquisite pictures!<br /><br />My neighbor has had her ceilings wallpapered for years - in both her daughter's room and the kitchen. I always thought it was charming. In my own house, I had the ceiling of my family room painted half strength of the green that is on the walls. It is interesting how the different plane and mixing with white make the color appear so different. I love the effect - it makes my family room feel very cozy.Things That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-28724504405767171882010-01-12T21:29:37.911-06:002010-01-12T21:29:37.911-06:00I love this post...I've been contemplating pai...I love this post...I've been contemplating painted ceilings a lot lately, so I loved all of these pictures!Aesthetic Oiseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01300095899670728743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-81489358112684258082010-01-12T20:24:14.811-06:002010-01-12T20:24:14.811-06:00great inspiration - I have my heart set on pale pi...great inspiration - I have my heart set on pale pink ceilings in my home so I'm glad to see that stronger colors not only don't make the room seem smaller, they make it look fabulous!Poindexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02754293708567921996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-83508608440178223222010-01-12T15:42:50.858-06:002010-01-12T15:42:50.858-06:00I've never had anything other than a white cei...I've never had anything other than a white ceiling, but I do think it looks like a lot of fun!!

You'd definitely have to be daring to pull it off. <br /><br />The first design show I ever watched, in college, was Christopher Lowell. He was a big proponent of painting ceilings. Two of our ceilings simple need to be painted, and yet I find it so intimidating for some reason! Probably because I'm a terrible painter. :)Laura@JourneyChichttp://journeychic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-48199211693641023372010-01-12T09:58:07.482-06:002010-01-12T09:58:07.482-06:00Very pretty spaces!

This makes me want to ask Matt to paint the ceiling in Fiona's new big girl room...but I know our 'honey-do' list is already too long, so I'll refrain! I LOVE most of the rooms you showcased, but I admit, the one with the walls extending up in those weird humps in that bedroom was not my cup of tea. The light blues, and that purple, and that yellow and white stripe one were my faves.
