As always, please test your colors first! All paint colors by Benjamin Moore. Some of the rooms that aren’t mine, I am making an educated guess at the color. Your note has inspired me to share some gorgeous painted ceilings. If you paint a ceiling a pale ethereal blue it will float above your head. Bright colors also advance more than cool colors. Dark colors recede and light colors advance. Painting the ceiling a dark color will make it appear HIGHER, not lower. My best advice to you in the meantime is to ignore the painter and your husband.

Painter: You need to paint the ceiling, wall and trim a different color Right now, Laurel, I’m the most upset about the ceiling paint colors. Painter: If you paint the ceiling that dark blue it’s going to make the ceiling look lower Painter: You should only paint the ceiling white. Painter dude is balking at the paint selections of the woman I hired to help me select them! So, hubs gets on the band wagon and starts questioning and making me doubt myself. But then he gets an email from the painting contractor. My husband’s role in all of this is to schedule all of the workers since he works from home and I don’t. Seemed to be a nice guy, but here’s what happened.

I’m using a painter my neighbor recommended. We picked out all of the colors, fabrics, furnishings. I’ve been working with a designer and love everything she’s presented.
