  3. This is something I really want to do too, but my porch ceiling is vinyl siding (white). I have even googled painting vinyl. Those photos are lovely! I look forward to seeing your porch painted.

  18. Do you know why blue is often chosen for porch ceilings? A little fact - Flies are supposed to be repelled by that color. Just one of the useless trivia facts I learned ...somewhere.

  19. I LOVE that you're going to do this and I can't wait to see the finished product! It reminds me of an issue of Cottage Living where a young girl in her first home painted not the ceiling, but the floors of her front porch in light gray and cream stripes. I've never forgotten that.

    .heather.

  20. I love a blue porch ceiling... we used to have one. Apparently it is supposed to detract birds. Someday I will tell you my blue porch/mean little swallows story. I 'll save it for a day when you really need a laugh!;)

    THe Grand Hotel is famous for its porch.. also with a blue painted ceiling. Lowe's American Traditions carries the color, I cannot recall the name but I think it is Grand Hotel Porch Blue.. or something like that. It is stunning!

    I cannot wait to see your finished porch. Your home is so beautiful!!!!

  23. I love the first blue! It will look beautiful.

  24. I wouldn't have anything but a blue porch ceiling. We were always told it was to keep dirt daubers from building their nests up there. Not sure if that's true but it's nice to have a story... Happy painting.
