My husband came through on my Valentine’s gift, with a little help from my dad. One edged and the other rolled the girls’ bedroom ceiling:
Did I mention that he has now decided to pay someone else to paint our master bedroom ceiling? :)
I went with Olympic’s “Salsa Diane” (how’s that for a sassy paint name?). It’s a mix of coral and red. I painted the walls light gray, using Sherwin William’s “Worldly Gray.”
This room isn’t really on the fast track to get finished, but I do have a general plan that includes DIY twin upholstered headboards in my new favorite Ikat fabric. (You can find it for a great price here.)
I’ll keep you updated along the way. . .
love that fabric, cannot wait to see the end result!
happy wednesday!
xo, emily
I already love it! Can’t wait to see it finished!

I was sold on the ceiling and then that Ikat came up…LOVE!
Who needs chocolate, roses, or even diamonds! when you can get a painted ceiling?!?
Looks fantastic…thanks for the sneak peek!!
i love it! That’s going to look sooo cute. I’m always a fan of coral-red… especially paired with gray or taupe!
Love that gorgeous ikat fabric! Looking forward to see the finished room.

It looks like a great start. :)
Wow! That is going to be gorgeous! I love it already.
Love the fabric. Never thought of painting the ceiling but I’m sure it will look fab when you’re done.
I love that fabric! Thanks for sharing it with us. I’m thinking it would be a great pop of color in the master bedroom for spring/summer.
I am loving the direction this is taking and it will stand the test of time as they grow older, very fun yet sophisticated!! LOVE the ceiling! Janell

I love a painted ceiling!
This will be beautiful! I love a dark painted ceiling and was thinking of doing that in a couple of our rooms! Cannot wait to see how the space comes together. Whenever there’s a little ikat and CWD textiles, it’s gotta be good! :)
Such great choices so far! What lucky young ladies. LOVE how the ceiling turned out. What a hubby!
The red ceiling is wonderful. Can’t wait to see more. Hugs, Marty
Can’t wait to see the progress! Such lucky girls! – Rachel
I love the ceiling! Cannot wait to see the rest. Great job!
I am going CRAZY over this ceiling!!! Girl you have a hit on your hands with the plans for this room! I’m already swooning:)
The combo of the fabric and the paint is fantastic!
What an amazing color! I love that you painted the ceiling, it is fun and unexpected.
Looks gorgeous! You know I love a coral ceiling. I can’t wait to see the headboards! This will be such a fun and beautiful room for them.
Oooh, gorgeous!! I love that ikat- so fun. Looking forward to seeing it all come together!
Love the direction you are going, I bet your girls will smile every time they look up at that fun ceiling color, Kathysue
GET OUTTA TOWN! How sharp does that look? Can Not Wait to see the finished product!
Can you please post your DIY instructions on the headboards when you get to them? Thanks!
That is one fun and fabulous ceiling! And I love the fabric, I just sent your link to a friend for her twin girls.
I think you are on to something here…I always do the painting at our house and ceilings are the worst, I need to have my husband do it so he will happily pay someone next time.
It looks beautiful!!! There are 9 foot ceilings in my daughter’s small bedroom. Do you think a color on the ceiling would still work okay and not make the room seem even smaller? It’s 10’x11′. Thanks!
What a fun, fun ceiling! Love that fabric, too!
oh my goodness! It looks fabulous! You’ve got yourself some great helpers!
Jenna
Gorgeous fabric and ceiling color!!! So excited to see this come together!
It is going to look gorgeous! That is fabulous headboard fabric, and that ceiling/trim/wall combo is amazing. Can’t wait to see it all put together!
SUPER cute! And I love that fabric!!
oh i love this! have you ever thought about doing this on a textured ceiling? what i have is not popcorn, just kinda streaky. i wonder if that would look good.
Ugh, ceilings are the worst!! Yours is fabulous!!!
Side note: I saw my blogger friend emily tonight, who’s 7mo pregnant with twins! Too cute!!
Ahh!! I love the fabric and the painted ceiling! Can’t wait to see the rest.
Love the colors and the fabrics Em!
Hurry cause I really don’t like waiting, especially when I know it’s going to be great!!!
Love the colour scheme you are going with! Can’t wait to see the finished room :)
I love that you’re using red and grey for the girls. And god bless your Dad (I think you said it was your Dad) who did the edges of that ceiling. Whew. Looks great!
Love the fabric. This will absolutely look stunning!
I love the ceiling and how it is a fresh pop of color. I can’t even imagine how many coats of paint it took to get a nice even coverage:) I’m looking forward to seeing how you design the rest of the room…it will be fab I’m sure!

Oops…I’m going to have to agree to disagree! The red ceiling doesn’t ring my bells! Sorreee. :( Don’t get me wrong, it looks fantastic, but it does kinda lock you into the red and gray theme, and I’m all for white and bright on the ceiling to open up a room. I see heavy colors as being somewhat oppressive, and I’m thinking the red may be one step too far? This is only my little opinion, and judging from all the positive comments above, I could be hopelessly wrong! ;-) It is very WOW, though. Hx
