Oh What A Feeling, We're Painting On The Ceiling

My Mom and I were talking about our house today. During the course of the conversation I mentioned that people have complimented my "skills". 

(Thank you all, by the way, you are all very very sweet and make great cheerleaders!)

 I told her that it wasn't necessarily that I had "skills" but that when you start with something old and ugly the only way to go is up.

Speaking of up...

Bad segway? Maybe. But I am still going to roll with it.

I painted another ceiling.

Technically this one was painted before the toy room ceiling, I just forgot to mention it. Actually....if we are being honest, all of the ceilings have been painted in the house now, the only difference is that I painted this one a color.

Yeah!

 Before it was just a regular ceiling. It has some spots on it that were a brownish yellow color. (Where do those come from, by the way? Is it like air born dirt from taking a shower? Gross.)

Anywho...

I had read somewhere that in small rooms it is good to paint the ceiling the same color as the walls because it makes the room appear bigger because your eyes don't stop at the line between ceiling and walls. Make sense?

I figured why not give it a try. The ceiling was due for a coat of paint, and I had some left from painting the walls.

I put it off for a while. No one likes to paint ceilings. Ain't nobody got time for that. But I finally did it. And...it wasn't that bad.

Before:

After:

The interesting thing is that it isn't that noticeable. But I guess that is kind of the point, huh? But the brown spots are gone so I am calling it a win.

Blake has been busy working on the bathroom (don't worry, another bathroom post is coming....That sounds odd. Correction. Another post about remodeling the bathroom is coming.) So I have been busying myself with odd jobs.

One of them was painting the laundry room cabinets.

Our free cabinets from KSL have been lovely. I always knew I was going to paint them it just took me a month to do it.

From brown:

To white:

You may also notice that our water shut offs and tube got moved.

It is nice to have them all in one box.

Only problem is now we have to patch the giant holes that were left in the wall.

I suppose it is a small price to pay.
