| I'd like to. Let's start a thread with photos, color choices, etc.
I was browsing in the kitchens forum of all places, where I stumbled on a link to a victorian Christmas porch tour, and there was a porch with a blue ceiling with a bit of gloss to it. Interesting; I've been looking for a place to use a glossy finish, and the gloss might make for a more watery blue effect. Also, if anyone has a deeper blue or more violet-azure than the typical aqua you see, I'd love pics. I am leaning that way, because if you look at the sky, it's more toward violet than green. Impossible to replicate in paint, but we can have fun trying. Here is the ceiling with a bit of gloss to it:
Here is a link to a short thread on the home decorating forum. I think it makes sense to have a thread going here on the porch forum as well. |

| I don't have a picture yet, but I just got off the phone with a local lumber yard, inquiring about Azek beadboard - the salesman recommended a new product by HB&G Columns, which comes in a sky blue. He's going to price it tomorrow and check availability, but thinks it will be equivalent in cost to the Azek (which we would need to paint). |

| You know why they use blue? Resists wasp nests. I've got white still and the few times I see a nest starting I whip out the Raid. |

| Hadn't heard about wasps but do know it wards off mosquitoes; have the scoop on our porch website. |
