I played around with them in the mud room, just to see what would happen.. Love this look!

A lot of the time when people tackle the job of painting a room, they just do the main part of the wall and leave everything else as-is.Sometimes they’ll do the trim too if it’s looking really grubby, but a lot of us leave the ceilings off the of to-do list until they’re looking really shabby.. Like this.. Or this.. Yup.

Those are pictures of some of the ceilings in our old house, thanks to the passage of time and a very leaky roof.Thankfully we had a new metal roof put in last Spring, so now leaks are a thing of the past.By the way, I feel like I should talk about the roof at some point.

Is that something you’d like to see/read about?.A lot of us put off painting our ceilings until they look really embarrassing because, let’s face it, painting ceilings can be HARD.

Not just technically difficult, but physically demanding and time-consuming too!.

It’s a shame though, because even a basic not-so-fussy paint job on a ceiling can really brighten and freshen a room up in that “I don’t know what it is, but this room just feels so much better now” kinda way..She heard the camera going.

It’s not much of a ta-da moment, though..But I really like the idea!.

And it’s still pretty cute, even if it is a mess.I was still feeling like I needed a little more of a Summer feeling around the house, just to cheer things up a bit, so I moved a few things around in the dining room the other day.. Plus my peonies bloomed!So I needed to put them, well, pretty much everywhere.. On the table now I have something that goes a little like this:.
