White Ceilings

Super slow start, but we've cut in and edged around the fixtures

When I woke up this morning, I was visualizing the dining room. I had just planned to paint a neutral color and paint the ceilings, too. But when I saw it in my mind, I thought "that looks weird, the ceilings should be white, not White Mocha"!

My friend Lara, who is a professional painter, agreed. White ceilings on the flat ceilings and do White Mocha on all the vaulted parts.

OK, so another trip to HD (Home Depot). White ceiling paint. Comes in two gallon cans. Bought four gallons to get me started.

We actually got to painting late in the afternoon. Yay! Did some edging/cutting in. I'm tired!

I really debated about painting the ceilings white because who really needs to paint clean ceilings? I almost changed my mind, but I am SO GLAD we are doing this! The ceilings are CREAM right now and it looks nice, but not the crisp clean that white ceiling paint provides! I am going to LOVE the new white ceilings! Tons of work, but I think I'm really going to enjoy it when it's done. It will make the White Mocha walls look sharp and of course we'll feel all "clean" having painted every paintable surface! Yay for paint!
