Small cottage is "dusty olive" --a darkish green HD Behr
The front porch stoop is 5 x 6' tiny with 2 posts at front corners (which I will grow 2 rose climbers up it. So here's the question. What color do I paint the ceiling of the tiny porch.? white or dusty olive? I'm really stuck on this. I thought white, landlord doesn't care but it looks like it's taped for the green. I still have time to change. and to give you an idea on this little porch, the door has the ultra white trim as well as the trim/facia around porch and posts obviously . The porch is pavers with tumbled old stone look. The light fixture going in is a bronze square with white opaque glass. craftsman style. (small panes cutout at top of fixture)
Also I would like to add a railing on each small side of porch -- a drop off of a good foot or more. -which would be white. (the colors are set, I'm not the owner, but I choose the porch ceiling.)
ok, I'm being anal, but this is important to me. :)

| My mom, who is from AL, was slightly horrified when I had white vinyl bead board put on our porch ceiling. I would have loved to do blue, but they didn't make it in vinyl and I am not painting the ceiling, darn it. I would stick with a light color ... Like white or the traditional sky blue :) |

| Chris, I'm in TX. Meant to be a lil 'inside joke' some forum members who know me know I've developed several color palettes and specialty color tools. Like a palette of just blues for certain applications, like porch ceilings. So that's why in my color world -it doesn't matter where you live- porch ceilings are blue. :) |

| Have them paint it white - it will be easier to paint over in blue. |
