Painting slanted ceilings is a bore, but it may not be as difficult as you may think. Naturally, it is always a challenge to color any ceiling, but once you work out what colours you are using and the way to design your paint color palette, painting slanted ceilings is just like painting the walls. There are a couple of things to consider before you start, specifically what colors you wish to use for your walls and ceiling, and whether or not you would like to distinguish between the ceiling and the wall. If you do need to distinguish the ceiling from the wall, you want to know where that line should lie on the wall.

Choosing your colours for the walls and ceiling are a vital part of painting slanted ceilings. There are a few options for your color palette : you can choose a similar color for the walls and the ceiling ; you can choose two colors, one for the ceiling and one for the walls ; or, you can choose three colors, one for the slanted ceiling wall, one for the other three walls in the room, and one for the ceiling itself.

The advantage of choosing three colours is that you can draw attention to the slanted ceiling, which is generally a very interesting architectural aspect in a room. Some people choose a lighter color for this wall and then a darker color for the other remaining walls and white or a coordinating color for painting the slanted ceilings. Other people decide to put the darker color on the wall with the slant, and then use the light color on the other walls. When more than one color is employed on the walls, the ceiling is generally white.

Now you want to decide the simplest way to distinguish where to start painting slanted ceilings compared to where you paint the wall. This needs the use of a laser level. Place the level at the height you would like the ceiling color to start. A good tip is to make the ceiling color line even with that of the other walls in the room. Now use masking tape to mark where the wall and ceiling colours will change, and starting painting your slanted ceilings!

I went to a resturant in San Antonio...anyone know the name?

It was about 6 years ago but it was a mexican resturant and it had a big bakery at the first part of the resturant and I remember a painting of Selena on the wall, and in the resturant part there was a big wall and a guy was there painting a mural of different influential hispanic people. The resturant might have been near the river walk but I kind of think it was more near the Hispanic market area. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure of the spelling, but possibly it was Mi Tierra. It's in Market Square.
