So I could paint my house:( St upid contractors that built my house painted the ceilings the same off white as the walls so starting with the ceilings 1st. I hate painting but couldn't fork over $3+k to have it done.. still going to cost about $1k in supplies. Did I mention I hate painting?

Painting sucks, but it’s also very rewarding when you’re finished. My wife and usually do a room or two at a time, and kick a couple bottles of wine in the process.

Pretty soon you’ll be able to fight off all those school bullies- until the big tournament. But you’ll probably win that too.

I don’t like it either, but completely agree with Tripper - it’s very satisfying to have a room completed.
That said, painting all of the ceilings at once sounds like a recipe for frustration to me - to have every room being painted, moving drop cloths all the time, and not having any room finished.
But seriously wtf on off white ceilings??

I’m not a fan of painting, but it is relatively easy and gets great results for little effort.

I feel you. If you’ve seen any of my houselopnik posts, I’ve been doing the new house a room at a time (along with new hardware, light fixtures and flooring). The last house was similar to yours where the builder painted the entire house the best of 2010 beige (including the ceiling)with off-white trim. They didn’t even paint anything well. I would’ve had to paint the whole place had we stayed there any longer. I really disliked having the ceiling the same color as the walls.

First first floor is 1300 square foot of open floor space cutting it up in sections but basically has to be done all at once. Also this is my first official break. Back to work!!

Ah yeah - I love open floor plans, but they make painting a bigger job.
Good luck - hope you finish early and get a chance to relax at week’s end!
