My bedroom ceiling (photo as promised)

This did not photograph as well as I would have liked, but here it is. The details don't all show up but it is nice to lay and look at. This was painted in several sections and hot glued to my ceiling. The only supplies used were: styro-board, egg shell flat latex wall paint, black high gloss enamel paint, a roller, 1 sponge brush, and 2 precision brushes. Total time from start to glued up: 2hrs, 15 min., total size; 11x14, total cost; less than $50.... :)

And I told her that there will be a lot of VERY disappointed people on Home Talk if I remove it."....lol..no worries kiddies I will keep it as long as possible!

This is my first attempt at faux marble on Styro-board.....I hate plain walls so when they said I couldn't paint my walls....I painted the Styro-board and the rest is history! What do y'all think?

important papers and made copies to display in my home, and put the originals in a safe deposit box. People laughed when I did this but as I said, I can replace furniture and other material items but never can I replace pictures of my children growing or things they have made me! Best of luck to you on your rebuilding and EXTREME shopping for the new place...again, so happy you are out and safe!
