Entry Hall ~

Entry Hall
~~~~~~~

The ceiling in the entry hall is low, by painting the center white and carrying the wall paint up onto the ceiling it gives it the illusion of more height. 

I did this with the help of one my very favorite products, painter's tape. It is a bit time consuming but used correctly it results in a very accurate edge.



Step # 1
Here is how the ceiling looks with the addition of the painted border, done of course with painter's tape. Nice but a little boring.


Step#2
Another border, this time using metallic gold paint...now it's getting interesting.


This is so much fun to do, it is almost magical.


After the paint dries and you pull off the tape you have this lovely embellishment and I think a much more interesting ceiling.


Now that the painting is finished  I am looking for the drapery fabric, the main contender so far is Norfolk Vintage Rose by Waverly. I am waiting for the sample to come so I can decide. I hope it is right because I have already picked out the most beautiful, luxurious fringe to trim the drapes. I love the details.

  2. WOW.... you did a terrific job on that ceiling and what a great idea to make it look higher.

    I love the fabric you picked out. I always love anything that has roses in it and I think the drapes will look so good.

    Everything is looking good and I can hardly wait to see the finished product.

    Enjoy the 4th.

  3. What a great job on the ceiling - it looks wonderful! I love that fabric you've chosen. How pretty it will be. Hope the sample is as attractive as the photo.

  4. The fabric you've chosen is just beautiful, so I too hope that the swatch comes in with the shades you want. That's a very clever idea for the ceiling!

  6. Love the material with the roses. I think I have some older king pillow shams made from that material. It's like bark cloth, but a reproduction type I think. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to use with it. Always looking for great ideas and your home is perfect.
