I’ve been wanting to paint these walls. Frankly, I can’t believe I’ve not painted them for as long as I have. Blah white. Ugh. Semi-gloss to boost. Double Ugh.
So of course, flat sage green. I’m thinking of working with the texture in the walls – they’re old and hand plastered.
Thing is, I know I should paint the ceiling first. But the ceiling is inordinately high. so then I have to stand on a stepladder to paint it. And it, too, is textured. PITA. I’ve also got a ceiling fan. Double PITA.
Then if I have to deal with the ceiling fan, I’ll probably have to give it a thorough cleaning.
All of this by myself.
I don’t mind painting the walls, and the trim…but the ceiling and everything else is too much to ask for just me.
I think the joy I will take out of getting the semi-gloss off the wall and painting it a lovely perfect green – flat! – will outpace the annoyance I might feel when I know I didn’t do the ceiling.
At least that’s what I think right now.
