Paint a Sky on the Ceiling
If you are looking to add something fun to the decor of a room, consider painting a sky on a ceiling. This is particularly appropriate for a bathroom or child's bedroom. You don't need to be an experienced painter to make the sky ceiling look attractive.
Instructions
1. Remove the furniture from your room, and place a drop cloth on the floor in case any paint drips.
2. Apply painter's tape to the edges where the wall meets the ceiling. This way, you get paint only on the ceiling and not accidentally down the wall.
3. Use an interior latex house paint to paint your ceiling. Start with a deep blue color.
4. Begin painting in the center and work your way outward. It doesn't matter what brush you use as long as you are comfortable with it. Once you get your blue applied, let it dry. This will take about two to four hours.
5. Pour some white interior latex house paint in a flat pan. You can use a tin foil pan from the dollar store as long as it is flat.
6. Dip your sponge in the paint and begin to form clouds on your ceiling. The center should have the most paint, with the edges lighter and fluffier. Use one sponge for the white center of the clouds, and another to apply only a small amount of paint to create the edges.
7. Consider adding a seagull or small bird for fun. Using gray paint, paint the basic shape of an M but curvier, with the wings spanning out past the center dip. This is how birds look from a distance, and it is very simple to do.
