Can you guess what it is?.

Those are pictures of some of the ceilings in our old house, thanks to the passage of time and a very leaky roof.Thankfully we had a new metal roof put in last Spring, so now leaks are a thing of the past.

By the way, I feel like I should talk about the roof at some point.Is that something you’d like to see/read about?.A lot of us put off painting our ceilings until they look really embarrassing because, let’s face it, painting ceilings can be HARD.

Not just technically difficult, but physically demanding and time-consuming too!.It’s a shame though, because even a basic not-so-fussy paint job on a ceiling can really brighten and freshen a room up in that “I don’t know what it is, but this room just feels so much better now” kinda way..

So last week I started tackling some of the ceilings in our house and it was actually a really pleasant and easy experience.

I thought I’d share my tips today so you can join in on the fun if your ceilings need a little love too.. Scrape, patch and repair only where necessary.Is it wrong to fly a flag just for the look of it?

And I like my American friends!.I filled in the empty spaces in this lantern with hosta leaves.

They’re actually lasting quite a while without any water at all..So, truth be told, I did make myself a little frustrated by playing with the decor in this room.
