Painted Ceiling

We were helping a friend with paint colors in his new house the other day and it dawns on us that everyone always thinks about painting the walls, but never the ceiling.  Most people just leave the ceiling white.

But why oh why?  Let us tell you, painting the ceiling is one of the best things you can do to your house. It warms it up instantly.

Here are some quick samples:

Bright, Pretty Rooms in Lime/Yellow

Hello everyone! We hope you are having a great new year. As you might have noticed we've been MIA for a while. Last year was crazy, we tell you. We were so busy we thought we were going to die! We've launched 3 new sites, moved our office to Sausalito and added some new staff, so needless to say, things have been hectic for us.

But, we're back and we're ready to work.

Here are some pretty, bright room to brighten up your winter days... don't know what it's like where you live but it's been raining forever here in California!  We're praying for a little sunshine!
