I turn it to a soft beach house brown on the walls and a beautiful light blue on the ceiling. I miss that pretty blue. <br />Where did you get the rug in your living room?

However, I usually am a light paint color person anyway so having the room all one color is a good thing...and it makes the room look bigger.<br /><br />I prefer light ceilings overall but that doesn't necessarily mean white for me ;-) <br /><br />I LOVE how your room looks now!

I paint everything myself and we have popcorn ceilings (they're super common in this part of the country). They are a BEAR to paint and I hope to paint each ceiling only once so I do white. Just painting a fresh coat of white paint on the ceiling makes the room look so much cleaner and more fresh. You can paint popcorn ceilings and like Kara said you just use a thicker nap. I actually do a really thick first coat and do a light second coat. It takes a TON of paint though. WAY more than you anticipate. I've painted almost every popcorn ceiling in this house and they look SO much better.<br /><br />I love all the changes you've made in your living room. I love the lantern, but I use my ceiling fan every day in the summer.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11532179448195187397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-69668312646782232042013-02-12T21:56:11.445-05:002013-02-12T21:56:11.445-05:00I hate painting ceilings, but it does make a huge ...I hate painting ceilings, but it does make a huge difference.

You do need the thicker nap, but also make sure you buy paint that says it's for a ceiling, or it might just say ceiling white. You can get it tinted though just like any other paint. The key is to do a light coat, and do a second coat after it's completely dry, if you need to. Otherwise the popcorn saturates and falls on your head, floor, walls...karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15873006256296750419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-52520096044883746742013-02-12T15:33:22.293-05:002013-02-12T15:33:22.293-05:00I finally convinced the hubs a couple years ago to...I finally convinced the hubs a couple years ago to paint our ceilings something other than white!
