Susan Cantrell, isn't an ordinary woman and she was bound and determined not to have an ordinary home.

With this thought in mind, she chose to paint her ceiling deep magenta then faux finish her walls in soft neutral beige with hints of pale green, deeper brown and the tiniest hint of the same magenta softly applied over the wall color

Stark white molding separates the wall and ceiling which divides the colors and sets each of them off beautifully.

Thanks Susan!

Designers tip:

To achieve a truly soft finish, mix paints with translucent wall glaze for a more workable medium that won't dry too quickly on you.

Rather than using a sponge to blend colors try applying your colors randomly and close together with a paint brush and then softly blending them with an old torn up bath towel. It's easier to blend and the colors come out very soft and smooth.
