Paint in the Parlor!

We worked LONG, exhausting hours on the parlor room this past weekend and finally got the ceiling and walls painted. We chose "Rose Dust" for the ceiling... which is basically white:

We were a bit nervous, as we started applying the first of many coats of "Apple-a-Day": 

Here's the finished look, after applying 3-4 coats:

As it turned out, our second gallon of paint (which were all mixed at the same time) was a slightly lighter color than the first, so we had to do more coats than we should have, to cover any of the first gallon's darker color. We did not expect that!

The finished ceiling looks so crisp and bright now:

Below photo was taken early in the morning as the sunrise was shining through our East-facing windows. I am absolutely in love with our parlor colors and CANNOT wait to get it all trimmed out and finished!
