A Mysterious Coral Reaction
This morning. The porch ceiling was the original color, a very pale olive. Last year I laboriously scraped off many later layers to reveal this.
This afternoon. Somehow, the ceiling appears to have had a spontaneous chemical/molecular reaction with a mysterious mist which came through Emporia around 2PM today. And the ceiling turned coral!

The coral adds such wonderful warmth and richness
Agreed! And, as I posted previously, such a porch ceiling color was highly popular in the 1890s! Who knew?
I also agree, the new color does bring a lot of warmth and richness to the house. The other image actually kinda looked a little bit dirty and depressing, but now it just looks really nice.
Oh my! Spontaneous coral is always a great thing!
I’m pretty sure that “mist” is how I got my ginger hair, too! Weird!
Looks great! Actually makes the color on the chimney look extra nice, too.
The light looks so ‘happy’, too, now that is is clean and surrounded by warm color. Fun when a small touch brings out so much beauty of the things around it.
Warm & wonderful & the coral ceiling is perfect! I could never have believed it would work on both ceilings. Looks just great!!!
What magic!
Fantastic! Each thing you are adding lately just makes it better and better!! Perfect complement to your color scheme and picks up chimney color.
Yes! What Mary said. I like how it’s picking up the chimney color.
It even matches the front porch ceiling. What luck.
looks great.
When you first proposed this color I was very doubtful–but it (of course!) looks great! Adds so much lightness to the porch.
