Hospital design and construction: a DtV approach

It was going to be awesome.

Thankfully we had a new metal roof put in last Spring, so now leaks are a thing of the past.By the way, I feel like I should talk about the roof at some point.

Is that something you’d like to see/read about?.A lot of us put off painting our ceilings until they look really embarrassing because, let’s face it, painting ceilings can be HARD.Not just technically difficult, but physically demanding and time-consuming too!.

It’s a shame though, because even a basic not-so-fussy paint job on a ceiling can really brighten and freshen a room up in that “I don’t know what it is, but this room just feels so much better now” kinda way..So last week I started tackling some of the ceilings in our house and it was actually a really pleasant and easy experience.

I thought I’d share my tips today so you can join in on the fun if your ceilings need a little love too.. Scrape, patch and repair only where necessary.

Go ahead and scrape off anything that’s hanging down off of your ceiling, and be sure to clean your ceilings well before starting, but don’t feel like you need to sand the whole thing down, mud the whole thing, and sand it all down again to do a “good job”.I happen to have an entire deconstructed wall!.

And I’ve been holding out on you.My bedroom wall has been sporting this of-the-moment look for about 8 months now..

How selfish of me to keep all this stunning inspiration for myself.. Don’t worry.I’m not under the false impression that these pictures actually make things any better, they just have no where else to go right now.
