I wanted to do something with my patio ceiling with restrictions of cost, heat, dust, wind, moisture, and nesting birds. Plus I wanted it to do a better job of hiding my electrical cords. I ended up color matching paint to the same brown as extension cords. It was more of a task than I anticipated and close to $200 in paint. I've been working on it for a couple months and finally finished while I was off work this week. It really makes the ceiling decorations "pop" and does a great job of hiding the cords. The brown ceiling fan now blended in with the brown ceiling which was boring so I painted it faux bamboo. It's a bit stylized or cartoonish. I would have preferred photo realistic but that's out of my artistic scope of practice so this will do.
