Our New Haint Blue Porch Ceiling

I've shown you the new roof which I love by the way. Now it's time for the house painting itself. Today I share with you the porch ceiling that I've wanted for a few years.
Both Earls hard at work! Painter Earl Cunningham standing on ladder and Other Earl priming spindles on porch railing.
Close up of ceiling dirty before washing or painting.
Porch ceiling before painting. It is dirty and dingy. The house itself is especially where the shutters were. It is a wonderful time for a face lift even though a hurricane gave us the reason. We are glad to have it done.
Beginning to remove shutters so the ceiling can be painted and the house itself washed. This is getting real! I'm excited!
Let the makeover begin!
Looks pretty dark here, but the color changes with the lighting.


I've looked at it all times of the day and it is a virtual chameleon.


I love it!
The white of the porch and home aren't painted yet in these pictures.


And yet it still shows a crisp, clean look


The ceiling has a little more finishing as well


Isn't it pretty?

More painting of porch railings and house front


The floor has to be stained as well


I will be painting these Cracker Barrel Rockers


They really need it!


It was hard to do picking the right color.


I finally narrowed it down to two and let Chuck pick the one he liked best.


I thought it was a little too blue and darker than I would like.


I also wanted some aqua into the mix.


The sky overhead changes moment to moment here so it really doesn't matter.


I have grown to really like it!


Time was getting away we had to choose.


My girls will be happy with this little bit of color I've added!

    Will you be posting your porch when you get it finished? I am sure I am not the only one that would love to see it.

    You ought to sponge paint white clouds on that sky blue ceiling. What do you think?

    I finally have a house with a front porch, enclosed, but still a porch. There are windows on three sides and about a 6inch drop from the ceiling with molding. I painted the porch white and the ceiling and drop in the palest aqua. I'm in love with that porch! it's definitely my quiet place.

    Beautiful. We live in the country and have the birds, bugs, wasp, spiders so I will try this. Thank you for sharing.

      Thank you so much. We have to this day had any make their webs or nests up around the porch ceiling. Oh they now build at times in the front shrubs or occasionally behind the black shutters. But never on the porch they hate the blue. I love the blue.

      Hope you enjoy your beautiful ceilings as much as we.
