don't be afraid to try faux!

I love to get photos like this one from reader "Latchia," who faux painted her dining room tray ceiling using my instructions posted here. Judging from her email, she's a busy professional who found time to do this intricate ceiling, and she's asking for my curtain-making instructions too. Says her dining room is a work-in-progress. Bravo, Latchia!

And of course reader "gumby" did beautiful work on her ceiling too.

According to my stats, "How to copy my fabulous faux ceiling" is my #1 most visited page, so I hope many of those visitors are fauxing. I have a couple of other faux painting ideas to share before I take off on vacation next month. 

And I do plan to post the dining room curtain how-to for you home-sewers as soon as I can get it into legible form.

I would love to do something like this to the ceiling in the master bedroom, but I have vertigo! Perhaps I can talk to my "painter guy" about doing a faux treatment.

Yay, I can't wait for the curtain segment. I don't have closet doors anymore, and would like curtains instead. Please make the project as easy as possible :)

I wish that I had a room in my house where the faux ceiling would work. Unfortunately the house is about 100 years old, and all of the roooms are a little too ... um, something to make that work. I love the look though, and the fact that you've been an inspiration to so many deserves a bravo!
