During a recent trip to Charleston, I was reminded of my love for painted ceilings! Ceilings painted various shades of "haint" blue caught my attention as I weaved the historic streets. A haint is an evil spirit, and as legend has it, porch ceilings were painted this color to resemble water and keep the evil spirits, that couldn't cross water, away (it's thought to ward off spiders and bugs too!). Take a look at this classic low country porch, and it's fantastic painted ceiling.
It's a great idea to bring painted ceilings into the home, particularly in a smaller space like a bathroom, dining room or sunroom. The unexpected pop of color in this South Carolina
sunroom adds character to the space.
Painting a herringbone pattern is modern twist on this idea, and has a very cool effect. Check out this great ceiling by
Vintage Revivals.
