I had been debating for months about going back and darkening the ceiling again. I had already painted it once (2 coats) and really didn't want to do it again. But I wasn't ever really happy with it. GatorRob's suggestion kicked me in the pants to go back and fix it before I get any further along with the project. So last weekend I put up the first primer coat of the darker color. It already looks MUCH better. Thanks GR!

This was the first round of ceiling paint. At first I thought it was dark enough.

But once I started to put up elements, trim, etc., that color was lost (granted the flash from the camera washes out the pics a bit).

So I selected a much darker color I know will do the job this time. The primer coat already makes a huge difference. The second coat goes up next weekend.

While I was working on the ceiling last Sunday, my 4 year old in her infinite wisdom asks me why I was painting the ceiling again, why didn't I just do it right the first time? I should have listened.

Note to self: It is much easier to paint without other shit on the walls getting in your way, pick the correct color the first time!
