Ceiling Paint

The current ceiling has a whitewash over the tongue and grove.  It's a nice idea, but it's inconsistent and a bit dated looking.  Also, matching the stain if I make changes would be a problem.  So I decided to paint the ceiling.  Saw a sample house that used grey on the ceiling and really like the way it looks.  Here's the sample:
Of course this has a lot more upgrades, so it will be a while before I can match this look.  Since the beams in the master bedroom are already white, I figured I'd start there.
Here is the result.  Doesn't look like much of a difference in the pictures, but it's much more noticeable in person.
Painting it this way gives me more flexibility, so that when I patch holes when moving pipes or other changes, I can hide the work more easily.  I may also consider filling and sanding the knot holes to clean up the look even more, but no rush on that.

This look should fit better when I paint the doors.  Plan is to use a lighter shade of grey on the doors.  I'm also replacing the brass hinges and knobs with cleaner brushed nickle hardware.

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.

Accent Wall

Been meaning to add some color to the main living area for a while.
