See, now that looks good, and it's antiqued and made to look old, but well cared for.

That looks beautiful! It's too fancy for my simple farmhouse, but it's beautiful and I really like the look.

Too bad the spam got so bad. Some of us have been spending time at the new community for folks with a love of old houses at http://www.wavyglass.org

Here are a couple of tries so far. The green is the same color as the walls and has a pearl glaze finish. The silverish is two shades of gray with a pearl glaze finish. Now on to make them appear a little older looking and I think we will be there.

Just an update: finished painting the ceiling, but have yet to put the finishing touches on the glaze.. We are pretty happy with it.

Ava! This is exactly what I was thinking about doing! LOVE it! I would want tin, but that's out of my budget. This is one I think I can handle.

Might have to steal this for our bathroom if we don't try to replicate what we did in the bedroom.

I used similar paper on my kitchen ceiling. I painted it tan and went over it with a bronze glaze. Love it!
