I...First, I am simply addicted to painted ceilings. If the ceiling isn't painted, the room looks unfinished. If the ceiling is painted, it looks like an interior designer came in and took over your house. Second, I always use one shade light than my wall paint color. (I never do, say, white on the ceiling of a peacock-blue room. Looks unfinished!) Usually using the next shade down on the paint chip works, but I'm also addicted to customizing paint at Home Depot, so I ask the paint mixer to "make it about 1/2 lighter than this color". It's amazing how the ceiling looks like it's the same color & no one notices, but the room seems so much lighter!!! Third, I do prefer using a long, metal painting rod (mine is about 4'-5'?) b/c I'm not a fan of the painful bent-neck and my ceilings take about 1/2 hour, like yours. I find them to be my favorite "wall" b/c nothing gets the way! I do climb the ladder and trim the edges and around the lighting by hand with a paintbrush.

They look like the ones used to cut in at the ceiling with the little wheels on them but they are about the 10 inches wide. You won't have hardly any paint splatter and they use less paint...all information I should have shared with you earlier! Oops;).

Well, I also repainted the entire ceiling and decided to choose a color too- horizon by benjamin moore. It's a subtle gray/blue.

However, you do need to go over the line the edger makes to blend it in (which we learned too late). <br /><br />i also think painting during the day helps you to see where you need more coverage. my poor bathroom ceiling doesn't look so hot, but, it does look better than before. <br /><br />http://youresomartha.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/operation-sell/justine @ you're so marthahttp://youresomartha.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638863761357353400.post-36701878796105420592011-02-22T12:59:51.734-06:002011-02-22T12:59:51.734-06:00we always paint all our ceilings. usually the wall...we always paint all our ceilings. usually the wall color. i have slate walls and ceilings in most of the first floor and even chocolate brown walls and ceiling in master bath. i love painted ceilings. yours looks fantastic! <br />my golden nugget for painting a ceiling... let your husband do it!pixelimpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10498758163527892104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638863761357353400.post-22512824952135262602011-02-22T12:40:25.899-06:002011-02-22T12:40:25.899-06:00looks so good!looks so good!Allison {Live Love Small}https://www.blogger.com/profile/15950973200486206023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638863761357353400.post-18325593213425548082011-02-22T12:28:21.537-06:002011-02-22T12:28:21.537-06:00Oh man - I really don't like painting ceilings...Oh man - I really don't like painting ceilings!
