Awesome...I like it Nicky! The fan and chandelier can't be that hard to install, can they?

Post the pics when you get those done, mmkay. Thanks..

How many coats to get it the shade you wanted? I once did under the chair rail in dining room a deep burgandy/maroon and I swear I must have done 3-4 coats - even after priming it with recommended similar shade. Looks great man.

p.s. I am a blue masker myself - I can get a near perfect line that way....very nice

Very nice!

I cannot wait to get color on our walls. Well, we have color, but the house is all one color. I cannot wait until we can put other colors on our walls We're scheduling our one-year warranty work for September, so once that is all done we can start with some painting...

I got shocked at my parents old house helping put in a ceiling fan...i didn't like it too much, so my friend is an electritian...so I'll let him do it.

yeah white walls alway make a room look bigger, but it's amazing how color can change the feel of the room.

Sounds like a good idea as long as he's doing it for free :wink:
