If I was to paint our bedroom ceiling, should I paint the vents too? If I did, I'd take them out and do it carefully, so they don't look sucky and to make sure the parts that open and close don't get clogged. It seems logical to paint them, unless one really wants them to stand out, but our ceiling is the light buttery cream of the walls and the vents are white. And, as I've never painted a ceiling before, I have *no* idea.

I mean, of course, I *could* paint anything I liked, up to and including the windows. But they'd look stuuuupid.

It'd be kind of neat to have stealth vents though.

I'm not actually planning to paint the bedroom anytime soon. The little powder room in the living room, maybe. I think I'll start by putting the art on the walls. It's easier to change if I don't like it. :)

Aw mannnn! I forgot what I was going to say again. I wonder if it was the same thing I forgot before...

Torrid is doing 50% off clearance again this weekend. And if your feets are size six or seven, you might want to look. My feets are *not* six or seven, they are eight and a half or nine, but I found two pair of flats (neeeed slip on flats that aren't the loafers I've been living in for too long), and a companion for my Corset Lamp. The one I have has pink ribbon lacing. They're *very* nifty pieces. Useful too.

I'm going to be on the lookout for black shades...I *like* the frosted shades w/the sillhouettes, but they don't really fit the corsets. I'm sure I'll put the frosted shades to good uses somewhere or other.

Whoa! I know kung-fu They're making a Hogfather movie. I've seen the animated Wyrd Sisters, which is *great* and Soul Music is on my list. I had no idea this was up next. Wish they were doing Reaper Man...it's my favorite. Perhaps, one day, they
will.:)

OH! After scrolling down , I found out that it's *live action*! Ooooooooh.

~~~

I bit the side of my tongue (probably while I was asleep, 'cause I usually remember doing that sort of thing) and it's making me lisp a little.

Jeeze

~~~

Woo-hoo! Jeff was able to take the early train home and he'll be here in a few minutes. *happy dance*

Hope y'all have wonderful weekends. Or a collective wonderful weekend. I have confidence that you'll work it out. *grin*

We painted our ceiling a cornflower blue (our walls are cream), but we left our vents white. Honestly, you don't even notice them.

At some point I'll take pictures of our house (when I'm done with spring cleaning) - I'm a big fan of color... then you'll be able to see that there's a big color difference, but really, not even noticable.

We painted ours. If you're doing bold colors (as we are wont to do), it's really the best thing, imo. For neutrals/lighter colors, you can probably leave them white and it will be no big deal.

In other news, I just watched an episode of Degrassi in which two girls fell for each other, and now I'm all "Want a Girlfriend!" :P I also want your background, which I am in love with. :)

Love you.

If they mess up the Department Store scene, I will be Very Cross.

Definitely take the vents down if you're going to paint them. :)
