Jas and I painted the kitchen ceiling yesterday to give it a hammered tin tile look. We have ugly white decorative tiles on the ceilings in our house. Each room has a different look. Over time they get a yellow look to them and look awful. They are original to the house, 1970.
He's always wanted to paint them but Im not fond of painted ceilings until I saw Rustoleums Hammered paint. I picked "brown" for the kitchen, but its more of a bronze look. It is VERY messy and VERY stinky but WELL WORTH it for the transformation.
I just LOVE it! In fact, Im planning on doing my LR and hallway in a copper color, but not til Spring because of the smell. Thankfully it was warm enough yesterday to open ALL of the windows. I can still smell it this morning.
The paint is a little expensive as we could only find it in quart size and it ran us about $19 a qt and we used 2 1/2 just for my tiny kitchen. I did the cut in with and Jas rolled on the rest.
It really has a shiny tin look to it and is just awesome!
Now for my giveaway that ended Friday, Ill be back girls - there were THREE of you who won!!

My husband and I think that looks really cool! What a great way to make the tiles look like a brand new ceiling! Thanks for sharing a great idea. :)
That is awesome! I love the look, I may have to consider that for my kitchen. My ceiling needs redone, but I didn't know what to do with it. Blessings, Traci
Oh if I'd only seen this a couple years ago. We had the same ugly ceiling in our old house. Wonderful tip!!
WOW! It is beautiful...love it. My ceilings need done, and this is a great idea. Have a wonderful day! Blessings, Linda
Oh I love your ceiling it looks so real.;)
The first few pics I sort of thought...how warm and wonderful...then the last few pics it appears shiny to help reflect the light back down....I really really like this look...and 19 per quart isn't that bad considering what real tiles would have cost. You did a wonderful job...♥
