Painting This Ceiling Blue Was a Mistake

[@maryburnette7803]

Another thing you could do with the solid green wall, if it’s too much work to wallpaper it. Fix the wall the way you’d like, leave it green, and add a gallery wall descending the staircase. This could be a way to bring in the wallpaper, and colors from the wallpaper, on that side. You could add your extra wallpaper to one or two of the picture frames going down the stairs. The other frames you could use prints that have a similar color scheme to the hallway and wallpaper. Just an idea. Love you so much Ariel 💛!

[@winterrenes1249]

oooo a gallery wall would look nice :)

[@LinnySays]

I did this in my hall because I simply could not be bothered and it turned out great!

[@sharonwright1726]

I vote for the gallery wall….

[@MissSaCe]

Love a gallery wall! Perhaps use the blue colour to paint some of the picture frames🤔

[@JinjjaRin]

OOOOH YES! she could take it a step further and paint a tree in which the pictures are hanging from the branches, to match the wall paper. It would add a touch of whimsy

[@amybabbit]

As a person that owns a home that needs plenty of DIY, I find this format of video where you show us the bits of progress to be SO MUCH MORE ENCOURAGING to me, because it accurately represents my relationship with home DIY progress. You often can't do a big project all at once, so sometimes you kind of live with the in progress state around you while you go about your day. Besides, I think this ends up with us having MORE VIDEOS so I'm obviously happy about that. Your hallway is looking lovely and I can't wait to see it turn out, but have lots of fun on your trip first.

[@dzagge9799]

Same here. I was soo relieved to see that Ariel sometimes doesn't finish everything at once😁

[@kellyjune]

Agree! It feels stressful watching start to completion in one video because I think I’ll never be able to do x and then don’t want to start. Feeling and being along for the project and progress makes me more motivated and gives a sense of accomplishment like I can do it just need to start on my own projects and brings a sense of community since we’re all along for the ride with Ariel on hers.

[@haleighen]

Agreed!! Living in and renovating your own home means that things are just constantly in a not finished state.

[@cookieclaygirl77]

Agree--I love the process and sometimes it's slow. I've lived in a pre 1850s house since '06 and I'm still fixing stuff lol

[@maryaddisonn]

Came here to say this as well - totally agree!

[@Perennielle]

I love the wall papered switch plate! Only thing was that I instantly was laughing while imagining a guest fumbling about trying to figure out where the heck the light switch was 🤣

[@AbKhaos]

Yes I was thinking that too, I already have trouble finding normal light switches 😂

[@tmtb80]

Maybe get one that lights up!

[@kalliste01]

hah I was thinking the same thing!

[@xingcat]

The ceiling change really did make the whole hallway suddenly feel more cohesive. And the poly on the stair rail added that depth and warmth you were looking for. Step by step, the hallway is really coming together!

[@riverofstars3287]

Girl, what? If I had to pack for a trip there’s no way I’d have the energy to do like 5 other things that day. I’m impressed with the amount of energy you have.

[@mickb.8925]

Energy? Sure, I'd have that but the MENTAL CAPACITY? God no!

[@deborrasanders]

Hearing you say that you like the blue and you don't like the blue was so comforting to me. I'm an elderly person with chronic health conditions. I recently repainted my bedroom with help from my daughter, her partner, and my partner. Even with all that help, it was a massive undertaking. Now, I realize that I like the color in the abstract, but not on my walls. Ugh! I've been trying to talk myself into the color, but I'm not succeeding. At least everything has been prepped now! Finding out that other people make painting mistakes helps me to feel less stupid and inept.

[@beckymcdonald8040]

Sweetie, paint a big swatch of the color you like on something other than your walls, and live with that for a few days. Make sure it is where you can see how it looks in all kinds of light from the sun, and your overhead light. That way you haven't made a commitment yet.

[@calgram]

Ditto @beckymcdonald8040. Paint is no longer cheap, so avoid mistakes. Get a BIG piece of white butcher paper or poster board . Buy sample jars of paint (the good paint lines offer these-I bought some at Home Depot to finalize my LR wall color). Use your final 2 or 3 paint choices to paint each on a poster board/butcher paper. Tape to your room's wall, one at a time, and move around to dark corners and bright light sections of wall, watching how the color changes with different times of day (and night with lamp light). One important lesson I learned is that a paint swatch (the long, narrow ones with @ 6 gradients of color) in the store seems to always be much darker when painted on the wall. Learning this, I bought a paint color that the lightest paint swatch looked absolutely white to me even though the color line was blue. When I painted it on my bedroom wall is was the loveliest, soft, barely-there baby blue. It was perfect for that room. Good luck to you!

[@Rickettsia505]

Now that the painting is done, try changing your light bulb warmth, cooler or brighter or warmer, etc , Maybe it will help the hue.

[@sheelfjohnson]

I bought a paint that I thought would look like sea glass green for our hall bathroom. It ended up looking more like mint chocolate chip ice cream green. But I like it now, luckily.

[@mandissaalexander3251]

Be gentle to yourself. You’re allowed to change your mind. I hope you find a color that feels more like home to you ❤

[@andreamalik2961]

Please don't think you need to only post complete projects. Speaking for myself, I'd rather have more partial project videos if it means we see more of you. Hope your holiday here in the UK is amazing x

[@laurabarham338]

I think the green is definitely the right call. I'm so looking forward to seeing everything come together, especially the alcove with the wallpaper. And I find these kind of videos where you are checking things off a list to be SO motivational. Honestly, I enjoy seeing the process rather than a full before and after. My favorites are when you do multiple small tasks around the house. Have fun in England, Happy Birthday!

[@ArielBissett]

Thank you so much!!

[@TheresaHoward-w9n]

I love that we are seeing the realistic processes. The majority of us can't stop everything and get project perfect within a week or two...so relatable.

[@ginajennings1664]

Yes, life happens. I have been in the process of painting kitchen cabinets at my vacation home and I thought I could do it in a week, I was wrong. It’s been three weeks since I started and I only got to do one coat before I had to leave and I won’t get to go back until next week.

[@lindacade3975]

I like the idea of a gallery wall. Using the wallpaper as mats for the pictures. Perhaps use black and white (or tinted a pale color) photos of the progress you made on the house. Even photos in pairs like a before and after series as one moves up the staircase.

[@EBrenry]

FYI…. file this for future reference: because ceilings usually rely on reflected & ambient light (rather direct), a ceiling will nearly always appear darker than the walls (this is why white is the default). Wall color on a ceiling will appear darker than the walls. To counteract that, most designers decide to mix a color 25-50% lighter than what’s on the vertical surface (walls/wainscoting/etc). When applied to the ceiling, it will blend appropriately with the walls. If you ever find your hallway too dark, this is your solution. 🙂

[@brandyjean7015]

I'm way too fond of Autumnal colors. I would have used that same math & lightened the very warm colored flowers for my ceiling.

[@nohandle508]

Wow, thank you!

[@vernieplummer5148]

Not exciting? Are you kidding? Watching you run around like a crazy person and pack for a trip overseas as well as getting all that work done was wonderful. Don’t worry about not having a before and after. The format of this video was just fine. I really thought that blue was too dark and the green would be just as dark, but you’re right, the green is not as dark and it just fits in better. I agree that it will look better when that other wall is wallpapered so there’s not so much green in the area. That archway looks fantastic with the green and it will really fit with the ceiling. Great work, and enjoy your trip.

[@LL-lv8ke]

You can also use wallpaper scraps as drawer liners

[@Rickettsia505]

And mats for paintings.

[@annanicole469]

The green looks sooo good! I hope you dont feel too much pressure to make videos with large projects start to finish, every video you post feels like such a treat no matter what. Hope you're having a fantastic trip!

[@denisejones1863]

I would rather have videos showing progress than no video at all. It was a long......break last time.

[@whereseagullsfly8250]

I love the blue. It just doesn't tie the scheme together - for me. But you must do what makes you happy. Truly love the green. Enjoy my home Country. Safe Trip xx

[@alexandravladmets8206]

At least she did it! I´ve chickened out for a long time getting my blue ceiling. I just looked over my "paint stash" before seeing this video😋

[@jjamieallover]

a moment of appreciation for the typewriter list making, one of my favorite parts of these videos 💕

[@puffmaggie]

omg please would love a lil travel vid of the Jane Austen festival! since youre not on Instagram anymore i feel like we dont get to see much of these cool trips you go on (which yknow we DONT have to see but its lovely)

[@brittanynolen9832]

Yes please! I would enjoy that!

[@jennaimgrund]

I'm really enjoying this format of multiple videos for one project. I don't need to find a new TV show when I can just tune into Ariel's multi episode saga of home renovations

[@okayheykae]

Woooo yay for another video! I know lots of people have already said this, but I'm 100% happy to watch realistic progress instead of a start to finish renovation. Especially because it means we get more videos! And we like you, so we like seeing what you're doing! The green looks great, and I hope you feel better about it now that you've repainted! 💜

[@tins369]

Aaaawww the Jane Austen Festival 😍 I wish you an amazing holiday in England. And I hope you feel better 💐🫖

[@tins369]

And Happy Birthday of course 🎂

[@metaphoricallyspeaking45]

For next time, If you want the green you can get your colour made up at half tint. It really is subtle but because the green is counting off the other green in the room it really stops the heavy effect. We just did a bedroom with full tint ceiling and crown half tint on the walls. The result is quite stunning, but very subtle. The window area. Is stunning.

[@ediefolta9494]

Really like this idea!

[@flor13down]

A deep red in the window seating area would be beautiful! It would tie in the flowers of the wallpaper. I know it’s a little more work but would be a huge impact.

[@emmapalya1682]

These bit by bit renovation videos honestly give me more motivation to make more progress on my partly done renovations. Sorry you weren't feeling well but glad you're better now. Thank you for another fun video!

[@zabmcauley5647]

I like the partial project videos more tbh Way to go getting the ceiling repainted with 3 coats! That's a huge win. Have a great trip!

[@alyzzzea1864]

9:58 as a muralist, watching you NOT cover the wallpaper with plastic is actually making me shake in my boots with fear and agony /j

[@katiemclaneak5182]

I actually really like having a series of videos related to one project and not just a before and after and one fell swoop. I do like the green better than the blue and I’m very very much looking forward to seeing what it’s going to look like with the extra wallpaper. Hope you have an absolutely awesome birthday trip. 😊

[@CMinorOp67]

Yo! I’m AMAZED you were able to repaint the ceiling so perfectly, without tape or getting paint on the wallpaper. Wooooooow!!

[@jb.1256]

You were totally right - the green is perfect for the ceiling! I was a "beiger" on the last video, but so glad you ignored us! Also, so proud of you for uploading without a complete "after". Sharing snaps of your progress is terrific to watch, and your viewers totally get more invested in the project - because they have literally come along for the journey and can't wait to see how it turns out!

[@GreenGiant96]

I love your green ceiling downstairs! It's going to look good here too and tie the spaces together. The green is such a comforting hug. I love that shade of blue for a different space. Maybe the bathroom or living room?

[@tessavanderstaak7093]

I literally gasped when I saw the title of this video 😂 haha. So invested in your renovations. Thank you for FINALLY sharing unfinished projects. We're not here to put pressure on you, we just love to see your progress and process! Enjoy your trip!

[@katehamb439]

Green ceiling looks much better, was so excited to hear you’re papering the stairwell wall. Can’t wait to see the finished room. Happy birthday 🎉have a wonderful trip.

[@lynnephelps2370]

Papering the stairwell wall will make all the difference! Love the green. Hope you'll have a Jane Austen video for us next, what an amazing trip! Take good care of yourself!

[@mouseluva]

I actually prefer progress videos to before and after videos! I love getting to see all of the detail and hiccups and the full story - it makes the final reveal so much more rewarding and also means I'm not stressing about you overdoing it!!

[@markiebraly5266]

You inspire me. I like your new philosophy of not having to finish an entire project before you show it to us. That really helps me remember that I can do things in steps and stages and that I don’t have to bite off the whole thing at once! Thanks for that.

[@whitneylepoudre]

Just want to say that I really enjoy the more frequent shorter project updates over a full complete project. I'm not sure why but seeing the more realistic time line just fills me with motivation to finally tackle my own projects! Plus I feel like I'm getting to see so much more! Have fun on your trip and happy 30th birthday!!

[@eventingbyjulia]

I love love love these shorter, slightly simpler videos! And ofc I will still watch if you do a complete before and after, even if it does repeat some stuff ;)

[@M4rjolein]

You are going to be so happy when you come back from your trip and see that hallway. Also I think you are in a green phase. I've been in mine since 2020, so high five from me to you.

[@charlenetorres1202]

Great choice, then stain the crown to match the floor and stair railings. Fussy, but worth it. Have a wonderful birthday trip🎉🎂🥰.

[@AbKhaos]

As much as I want to see the finished product, we get more videos and I like that even more! And I love that you're not tiring yourself out just so you can have a 'complete' video. The green ceiling was definitely the right move (for a few seconds I thought you were actually gonna paint it red!!)

[@CatsInPyjamas]

oh Ariel we just adore watching YOU don’t worry about the before / after. You could paint a wall white and I’d watch 😊

[@cindyurban150]

I always liked a white,or beige ceiling. It makes the room brighter,and opens small spaces.

[@Scarlet-qg1xi]

YESSS! Perhaps the off white background color of the wallpaper?!?!

[@Scarlet-qg1xi]

Kudos on the woodwork?

[@braceletlife28]

Documenting relistic DIY process is something i dont think a lot of content creators do and the effort of it all gets lost. The whole process is important and you filming like this gives me motivation for my own projects and also real expectations that it DOESN'T have to all be done in one day. Thanks for that.

[@ShirleyKelly-o3z]

Another thing you could do on the staircase wall is add only the batons ( in board and baton) down the stairs. Cheaper than doing the board behind it. Also then cheaper to add the wallpaper above it all to make it cohesive around the hallway. One large wall of wallpaper won’t look right. 😊

[@ediefolta9494]

**batten**

[@Amira-ef2pn]

Just like you wouldn’t skip eating for a day in order to have more time to wallpaper, you shouldn’t skip resting for a day in order to have more time to wallpaper. This is especially vital when you are 1) recovering from an illness and 2) about to do a lot of high-energy things on your trip (traveling, exploring, etc). You 100% made the right call to rest instead of force yourself through the wallpapering. To put it a different way: you are working hard to have a beautiful, functional home to live in. This is so good. It is also important to work on having a rested, functional body to live in, and some of that work is “resting when I need it, even though I technically could be doing other things.” It can be difficult, just like home renovation! But the lived consequences are more than worth it.

[@briony57]

i like to begin every to do list with ‘make to do list’ that way as soon as i’m done i get the instant gratification of checking something off

[@annaalexandra]

Those windows in the archway really stands out so beautifully with the green for some reason.

[@theautumnreader327]

Excited and nervous for these developments

[@ArielBissett]

Me too

[@thesounknown]

I love the small progress videos. Especially how you make a list and cross it off and focus on just the immediate tasks so the list isn’t endless. I need to try this!

[@bronwenemmerich4825]

To best honest, I really love having more videos on one project. Makes me keep coming back for more. And knowing that you're putting yourself under less pressure makes it even better. 😊

[@meh_im_a_sheep6018]

I feel like the best part of doing small videos like this is that you get immediate suggestions/opinions. Its easier to make the light switch when you're still doing the wallpaper, than doing it after everything's done and you just want to move on. The ceiling gave everything a cohesive feeling amd its cosy and cottage like. I still feel like it closes up too much of the room (as opposed to the beije color), but it's definitely an upgrade from the blue

[@chooseyourthoughts7692]

I am only a few minutes in but I am so impressed with how industrious Ariel is the year!! Filming a video before leaving on an international trip?! I am impressed 😊❤

[@indigodenim]

These videos make my day so much better, thank you for all the work and creativity you put into your content ❤️

[@bespokecakes]

In love with the green ceiling 💚

[@jdubmac]

I love you for keeping it real. I've unfollowed a lot of video creators because they edit hours and hours of footage into 20 minutes for a "reveal" and that makes it feel more unrealistic or like a cable based home improvement show. Love seeing the small steps in large projects and the elation of creators like yourself! Slow and steady all the things! Hope you have save travels. And Happy Birthday!

[@sabrinasspellbookspens5136]

Her suitcase screams Fall and it makes my heart happy. 🍂🍁🥧🥰

[@Patricia.R.]

I enjoyed it so much. Here’s why: a.) I’m a list maker, and would love to find a typewriter! b.) I enjoy motivational process videos... not all process videos are the same. No one likes to watch paint dry, regardless of color!😂 But! I loved how you declared “moving the project forward” as your end goal for this video, then gave manageable steps! So many times people lose motivation, because they can’t decide the end goal for today. People don’t know they can do anything for 15 mins and be further along in what needs doing. Hope your birthday is phenomenal!🎉 see you in the next one!

[@Notanotherstephanie]

Truthfully im a big fan of getting videos regardless of the “final product” being ready, its part of the process and should be shown! Also can’t wait to hear about the bday trip on the podcast!! ❤

[@sparrowberry3420]

These vides are so wonderful and motivational! Because of your last video in this series, I pulled out my own typewriter to make a list of things that I needed to do for a big living room project that I've put off for 4 years. It helped so much! I powered through skim coating my walls so quickly just so that I could have that serotonin boost of physically crossing off a to-do item. It's so nice to finally have a project that I've been dreading for so long finally done! Home projects can take a long time and videos like these are so helpful to know that it's ok to slowly chip away at them.

[@29028ft]

it looks SO MUCH BETTER and more cohesive with the green ceiling. it allows the wallpaper to shine, rather than competing with it for attention

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

The covered switch is amazing! ❤

[@seanthebluesheep]

It's already a lovely wallpaper and it really made the space feel so bright and lively, but that papered light switch is absolutely brilliant.

[@andrearobyn3701]

I am so excited to see a before and after shot of the whole house after the main renos are done. It truly looks like a dream, I can't imagine how much joy the house brings you!

[@Inky1313Starlight]

Glad you're feeling better! You made amazing progress and it already looks fantastic!

[@alib6615]

I'm glad you didn't put too much pressure on yourself to finish a project. Videos like these are more reflective of actual life. Owning any space, you have a never ending task list and it is unrealistic that you would finish such a large project in one video. I'm actually in awe of what you did in your one day. I bet it is going to feel so good when you come home from your trip (Happy Birthday, by the way!) to everything you have accomplished thus far. Everything is looking great. The blue was a brave choice, and didn't work out perfectly, but again, home ownership. The green looks great and I can't wait to see where you get to in your next video!

[@kellyobrien57]

Because of you and your love of color saturation- I was encouraged to do a few things in my home - 1) painted my entire office (and now working on trim and all doors) a deep wonderful green, including the ceiling AND I painted my garage pink and all of my workshop shelves green!! ❤ It’s amazing to be immersed in colors that fill me up…I also have added a gallery wall of vintage cat paintings and antique florals…thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@esther8138]

I think the free was a good move - the blue wasn’t tying the room together. Hope you have a good trip!

[@hisshissboom]

The green ceiling looks lovely, it's really lightened the space and brought cohesion

[@abby.hursh18]

AH! Another Ariel video!!!! I'm so excited

[@SaltofSaturn]

I love the smaller, incremental videos. It feels like we are fully along for the ride. I am excited to see if you’ll incorporate more light into the hallway given the dark ceiling. I feel like lighting is the ultimate decor challenge.

[@brendahumphries9423]

Love the green…but I think red would have been amazing. People get hung up worrying that it represents Christmas but I say, get over it. The two colors together are gorgeous. You are an amazing worker! You give me inspiration to make every hour count for each day. Thank you! You are just adorable and a pure joy to watch!

[@cherylswindells3845]

Loved this! You definitely don’t need to “finish” a whole space at once to put out a video. I’d rather get to watch MORE videos. You’re my favorite you tuber. Endlessly inspiring in many different ways 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@diannediamond8643]

you inspired me to wallpaper my kitchen, it’s a small area on two walls. I’m using a toile white and blue paper. I think you have really great instincts and are willing to say, no that isn’t working and make it more like you want. Good for you for not settling.

[@sheelfjohnson]

Ok, it's officially time for me to go to bed. I read "toilet white and blue" 👀 🤭

[@kennabrienn4437]

The green ceiling brings it together so well! I think you're nailing the Jane Austin vibes!

[@aidandoyle3570]

I love the green ceiling w the green bottom, it feels like a hug lol Top to bottom, coziness

[@giselleescobedo6109]

Yes! The ceiling looks so much better! Any video from Ariel is a reason for me to rejoice, no matter the amount of progress!

[@abigailrose585]

I love your home reno videos!! Don't worry about not having a before and after. We are cheering you on every step of the way. Enjoy your trip 😊

[@lindaroyal8161]

I agree with the others in comments, I like a series for projects instead of rushing it all, in one take. The ceiling looks good and the arch, beautiful! Have a good trip, see you soon!

[@hanna3685]

i reeeeaallly love these shorter glimpses into the process! it feels almost like a behind of the scenes. I remember you mentioning before that you don’t vlog before because of the other people living in your house that are not on social media. If that ever changes I would really love to see what a week looks like in this process and all the small detached and diverse things that I can imagine happen :) beautifully done video (and project) as always 🤍 thank you for sharing!

[@shayq5463]

I have painted the ceiling the same color as the wall in one room in my house and the COZINESS! I wish every room would feel that way, like it's embracing you in the color, but it's such a beautiful design element that I have to talk myself out of it constantly or else it won't be special anymore.

[@fujismoke]

Green ceiling looks soooo much better! Makes me happy you did that choice

[@VanillaEarlGreyinAutumn]

"the little steps add up" :) that's so beautiful

[@juliebarrett8903]

Here’s what I have done with ceilings that needed a little color love - I’ve painted them a lighter version of the darker wall color. Just move up the paint color swatch a few blocks (so you’ll be on the same color family) Works for me every time, and helps the room feel cohesive/joyful!

[@katetetley3642]

I agree and recommended it to Ariel last video. It ties the color in and eliminates the risk of such a small area being too dark. So glad she covered the blue. There was just not enough of the blue in the wallpaper to have it make sense.

[@main6003]

I would love to see a video of the small steps you do for a project that may not seem exciting but are crucial. Love how you express yourself and love watching all your videos!

[@skatingcreative5999]

I like the little steps add up videos, it is more realistic so helps with people like me wanting to do it all too and not finding the time actually finding the time with a proper example of the stages. And seems more healthy for you too which means sustainable content for all and a happy Ariel so all good things

[@okeating3663]

I love the concept, the green is very calming, and brings in a natural look. The wall paper pops . Covering the switch cover was brilliant. If you do put wood mounding up, take a few small pieces with sample colors, put them up and see how the feel and vibe is. Using the beige background of the wallpaper or green of walls. I especially love the sitting nook. Ypu are doing a fantastic job in renovating the house. ❤

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Ok. Want to share something I did a few weeks ago that changes ceiling painting, and rolling in general. Get an 18” roller. Ceiling done in about 6-8 rolls. Walls the same. Will be life changing.

[@jacquelines6119]

i love that you’re posting whatever you’ve done in the moment! it’s nice being able to see so much more of the process and getting to watch you more frequently :) i hope you keep posting more so we can join you on your journey ❤

[@lisar2809]

The green wall you are planning to wallpaper - I'd recommend painting it a neutral colour first. Sometimes, wallpaper shrinks a little over time. Ours did, and it drove me mad that I could see tiny lines of colour from the previous paint!

[@crowspirit5154]

Just finished up the video, i think the green looks beautiful, and the archway too! I forgot that you were going to paper over the big green wall, and i am really starting to see the vision + am excited for you to finally have cracked it and created a beautiful space :> i hope you enjoy your trip, happy birthday, and fingers crossed that our uk weather holds up!

[@theboringkaren]

Doing the stair rail really made a difference to the space! And I'm glad you decided to paint the ceiling green.

[@mariamitchell3879]

Hey Ariel! Just discovered your channel and am smitten! It's so authentic i love how natural you are - it's refreshing you are just yourself and not speaking in an influencer dialect - this is a breath of fresh air! Really love the print and this channel - helps me get into the creative spirit for my own projects. New fan! 👋

[@mariamitchell3879]

also love just seeing the progress i dont think it needs to be a succinct before and after vid - gets you way more invested this way. American Viscountess does this with her Little Italian Houe reno updates - little at a time! Cheers!

[@essendossev362]

I actually really enjoy a whole series of videos that is a project. It's exciting to come back to it each week, after waiting with anticipation for the next one. And it's also really satisfying to watch them all in a compilation video at the end! Plus, I'm happy to know that you're taking the work at a pace that is in accordance with your body's limits, that you're taking care of yourself.

[@summergardens]

Youre so comforting Ariel, thanks for sharing this journey with me!

[@pama.6410]

I knew the blue ceiling closed in the space (to me) but had no idea the green would not have the same effect. It just works so well! It looks like it was meant to be. Love the wallpaper you chose and it will look great on the opposite wall as well. I am also amazed by what a big difference just adding polyurethane made to the stair rails. Beautiful! I was thinking all wood projects entail scraping, sanding, staining etc. Hope you enjoy your trip!

[@merrim7765]

I love how you try ideas and then if you don't like it, you change. That's real life. Have a great time at the festival.

[@flibbertygibbette]

Green was the right call. And honestly, I love that your shirt matches exactly!

[@loribruning6217]

It’s ok to change directions and I think you will be happy with a different colored ceiling. Such a great space and what you’ve done with it!

[@lilred312benett6]

Plate switch cover is amazing. You can use a little of the green paint or beige nail polish to paint over the screws.

[@dr.gretachen1988]

There is textured wallpaper available, and it is used to cover walls that are not in good shape and can be painted. The hallway is coming along. Well done.

[@DangerNoodlexoxo]

The green ceiling made the hallway lighter too. I think the darker gray blue made the hallway feel a little too dark. Looks great and happy birthday ❤🎉

[@maxifrae]

the light switch looks AMAZING
