blue ceilings

I love the way that a room can take on the feeling of being oudoors by painting the ceiling blue.  I first saw this years ago in Charleston, South Carolina on porch ceilings in "haint blue" to ward off the spiris or bugs or both.  But used indoors makes a room feel dreamy.  The first pic is of my sun room.  I painted the ceiling myself which is tongue and groove and barrel vaulted. Quite literally a pain in the neck - but the results were well worth it!  I used BM Teardrop, but it first appeared a very saturated aqua.  One trip to my paint store for a bit of white to lighten and and a dash of black for depth.  Ethereal!
