I'm looking for suggestions for painting two rooms in our townhouse that have 20 ft. tall cathedral ceilings.
One room is the living room -- most used room of the house -- also features one of four walls w/ cedar panels, the other is a home office/spare bedroom. The townhouse was built in 1980, and the walls have the original ecru-colored paint.
Since we don't have a lot of furniture, I'd like to apply color to the walls to liven things up. I'm afraid though that even a little color is going to be too strong with all that wall space.
Any suggestions on colors, techniques or anything else I should consider would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Lisa
