Painting: Is paintable wallpaper a good solution to dress up a ceiling?
We ordered some paintable wallpaper from home depot. It is supposed to mimic old tin formed ceiling, on a budget of course. Anyone else tried this?
Check out this butterfly chair At the Four Seasons booth, they even have this in an antiquated finish.
I loved her booth and display of all her plants.

CommentedLove this absolutely stunning with the lights!
1)Once applied, give it a coat of oil base primer. This will seal the seams before adding water based paints. 2) Do not use flat paint. Instead, use at least an eggshell sheen. In this case, you want more reflection to bring out the texture. 3) For more depth, consider applying an over glaze with a rubber trowel or high light the raised areas using a foam brush. 4) When working on a ceiling, have someone on the ground who can see what it looks like from below. It is very difficult to judge when you are only 2 feet away. 5) Wear a neck brace if you have one. OR have a good massage therapist on speed dial!
