Do away with boring ceilings! Start by applying a heavily embossed wall covering called anaglypta to your ceiling. Anaglypta designs harken back to the Victorian era when tin ceilings were popular. It is a thick white paper, generally 20 ½” wide and covers a multitude of ceiling imperfections.

It must be painted so this is where you can really get creative. The best part is that once it’s up, it can be painted two or more times.

Try adding 1 –2 ½ cups of your wall color to 1 gallon of ceiling white. Add 1 cup at a time, mix thoroughly and see how you like it. Max is usually 2 ½ cups (20%) to a gallon. You’ll be amazed how the eye will travel up the wall and make a smooth transition to the relief design of your ceiling. For a smart, crisp look - separate the two colors with true white crown molding.

Feeling bold? After your painted anaglypta has dried, brush on a light coat of metallic or pearlized glaze and wipe off gently to give your design extra depth and dimension. Visit http://www.steptoewife.com/anaglypta.htm for more anaglypta designs.

Help! I can’t get the right paint color for my family room walls. I’ve tried everything – taking fabric swatches, wallpaper samples and lugging around a big piece of my carpet. What about my trim and ceiling color? This is all driving
me crazy!

Does this describe you? You’ve driven back and the forth to the paint store what seems like a million times with no success. “Maybe I’ll try a quart of this color. It looks great on this teeny paint strip!” You get it home, brush it on a poster board and your heart sinks; it just isn’t right.

Then you go back to the paint store three more times adding a drop of this and four drops of that and it’s still off. Before you know it the sales clerks are seeing more of you than your husband.
