ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower from FF, I know I'm late. Been busy, lol. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have high ceilings as well (same kind of blinds too!) and it was something else to paint! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe have high ceilings too...our living room is vaulted so I'm guessing they are probably about 20' tall. My dad & brother came over and painted them for me. I'm not a painter...way too impatient! I can't wait to see how it turns out. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!! I am often so envious of the way other people manage to design their house.
ReplyDeleteI'm super impressed with the organization with which you are completing the project!

ReplyDeleteOH I will have to make some Easter cookies too. That sounds yummy..
ReplyDeleteIt's gonna look grand, I know! Don'tcha just LOVE the feeling of a "new" room when you're all finished? Of course, getting there might be a chore...
ReplyDeletePainting is alot of work!! I can't wait to see the end of it all!!
