Looking for something else to Paint?

The other day I was in my craft/painting/guest room
 trying to bring in some order...

I laid down on the carpet, for a moment to rest and looked
up at the ceiling,and marvelled....
well it's not exactly the Sistine Chapel or anything,
 but I thought it looked,
well.... charming...


Several years ago,
before my youngest daughter got married,
she asked if I would paint something on her ceiling.


So I did, it was done almost entirely with three or four
different stencils.  I went around and around
the room adding one layer at a time.










It was quite an undertaking, and I don't think I'd do it again.
In fact, I get a neck ache just thinking about it.


Overall though, I think it turned out very sweet and
when the grandchildren spend the night,
 they like looking at it.

  1. It is charming! As a ceiling painter, I do understand what you went through to get that effect. And I also can understand why you wouldn't do it again! It's terrific!

  4. Your stenciled ceiling is stunning! I'm sure it was quite a job. I stenciled a medallion around my chandelier and that was enough for me!
