The horror of our ceiling got to be too much so we finally decided to have it painted. There is a reason I haven't posted a full picture of the kitchen light. . .
So, a year and a half later, we tackled the ceiling. I gotta say, painting the ceiling is a huge pain in the ass. The amount of plastic we used to cover the floor and some of the walls and the light fixtures was insane. We (plus three painters) spent about two hours of time just laying down all the plastic sheeting to make sure nothing was going to get messed up.
It took me about 30 seconds before I looked down and my hand was smearing blood on plastic. It ended up being a tiny cut. Seriously, just mention "home project" and my body will split open.
In the end, the change was huge! No more holes in the ceiling or ugly patch marks, no more blue square around the light fixture. Things are looking up!
We even had time to paint the fence outside.
To say we were exhausted at the end is an understatement. But, it's always worth it in the end.

Ooo, painting ceilings is the worst. It looks so nice though! I had to share your 'body splits open' comment with my fiance, he laughed with me :)
It's coming along so nicely. I love that fixture. It does always seem injury comes along with home improvement.
Ooh I love that light fixture!! Where did u get it from?
Hi Sara,
We got the kitchen light from Potterybarn.
