Have fun is the bottom line in it. If you are too hard on yourself about it ,you make a very difficult task to do.

Start with one wall -section it off in yer mind as far as you can reach. looking at it from a distance go after an area in a section you think need attention -go at it with yer brush. Get down off yer step stool -stand back and look at it. You will see it looks better. go after the more of it. Get down of the ladder and stand back -than take a look. You will see it gets better and better. Soon enough you will be moving that brush right along at a quick pace.

And like they said-do look for for perfection or perfect,it looks good to the eye than it look's great. and remember-,most people don't look up there much ! And remember ,what you see at eye level isn't seen on floor level. Two very different visuals.

Good luck and do have fun. !
