Once we got the ceiling fan down, I said "Lets paint the ceiling too". In my defense here, I'd like to say that this ceiling looked BAD! The previous owners had really done a number with dust, candle flames and I'm not quite sure what else.
So I painted the ceiling and enlisted my husband to hang the fan... and I rejoiced at how amazing it looked and even more at how amazing I felt.
Unfortunately, this meant that I was noticing all the ceilings in the house. After five more rooms received a fresh coat of ceiling paint (and new ceiling fans, since we were up there "Don't you know") - I am on a temporary break from my ceiling insanity.
So back to Kai's room. I decided that we should finish the room. When we moved in, we knew this was a temporary bedroom for Kai, so I decorated with what he had, and didn't put a lot of effort into it.
When I originally painted the room, I didn't like how the colors worked together, but I decided to deal with it. I won't really tell you what the colors reminded me of, but it wasn't pleasant.
When I repainted the top half, the bottom color looked good. So it got to stay (whew! one domino effect that didn't happen).
I re-hung what we had, in a different set up and added a small shelf for his little knick knacks. It was really an inexpensive re-do, but it made such a difference. And it totally motivated me to move on to the next room. I love that a little resource goes a long way.
