Third time is the Charm!

Apologies for the lag time in posting. Life always gets in the way. But knowing that someone may just read this blog has made me try to stay on top of my current project (ie Mikey's bedroom) so at least the Blog is working that way!
My Goal was to have Mikey in his new room and bed by this Saturday but I don't think that will happen. Just an update on the room. I went with a ceiling color of Swiss Coffee through Kelly Moore Paint. I was very impressed by the service and I felt like the price worked I only wish they were closer to my house (it is a 30 minute drive each way to them and you pass three other paint places on the way.)
Now for the actual painting. You can laugh with me as I say that I have little experience painting and I have NEVER painted a ceiling. Lets just say it is harder than it looks. I made a bad move and did a thin layer of paint trying not to make a big mess. Only to realize that a thin layer look HORRIBLE I honestly was regretting my choice to paint the ceiling at all. After more Ceiling paint tips research I did a second layer which looked much better, however when I pulled down the tape I realized that there were still spots that you could see lines or that were thin. What to do what to do?
I waited a couple days and then decided that I would always be annoyed by the imperfections and painted it a third time last night. TA DA! Third time is the charm! I'm really hoping that it took 3 times only because of my lack of knowledge because I LOVE the white ceiling! I want to do it all over my house but if it really takes 3 coats every time I'm not sure how far I will get!
I am leaving the beige walls as I mentioned, but I think I will do a fresh coat just so everything is fresh and new! (I don't want to "wish I had" once Mikey is already in the room.)

A friend showed me these fun airplanes: http://www.badcattoys.com/spsezmo.html

I especially LOVE the yellow and red one!

However they are about $12 a piece plus shipping (or driving to the museum of flight in Seattle). I want at least three planes so that would run me about $35 a little more than I was hoping for but WAY better then the price of this Simple Balsa wood one at 69.99 on SALE:
I do love the simplicity of it but it won't lend for much color. HMMMMM I have looked up individual Balsa wood planes they run anywhere from 3 to 5 dollars a piece and I could spray paint them! My only dilema is I'm only finding them online and shipping is a beast. Have you seen a balsa wood airplane kit anywhere?

Moving forward or......

Thank you for everyone's thoughts, suggestions, and help so far. Just to give you an idea of where I am now I wanted you to see a picture of the room that I'm attempting to "design".
Don't you just LOVE it? hahaha  I have 5 paint colors on the wall (not including paper swatches) and 5 paint colors on the ceiling (did I mention I wanted to paint the ceiling since our walls and ceiling are all beige?)   Color swatches and fabric ALL over and of course the pillow cover for the quilt.
So I decided I DO want to paint the ceiling. (I was going back and forth on this one but I think I will like the ceiling white more than beige.)  However I'm still at square one for wall color.
A few of you have mentioned that if I don't LOVE the quilt then I should return that so it stops throwing me off.  I thought about this for a LONG time.  I looked online a TON and at a few different stores for different quilts. I even bought a couple but by the time I was half way home I knew that I really liked the striped quilt more than the others I had seen or just purchased.  I love that is has no characters on it, or any "theme" for that matter.  I love that it feels well built and washable (without bunching or crumbling after a few washes).  I love that it pulls color in the room without being CRAZY.  That being said if I could design or afford ANY quilt would it be this one.  Probably not exactly.....but probably close.  So I have decided for the price point and what is out there yes I do love the quilt!
One decision down YAY!

So after looking at the room for HOURS!  (I literally sat in the middle of that mess starring at all the elements hoping for inspiration to hit my like a rock on the head.  Yes my husband thought I had lost it.) I realized that the current beige walls with a white ceiling may just work perfectly for the rest of the design!  I will share with you some of the elements I plan on using in the room and you let me know if you think it will work.
I plan on painting my own version of this:
It may be smaller depending on if I find a large Map to put on the wall instead.
I'm either going to find or make airplanes to hang from the ceiling. (not necessarily these ones but this is the inspiration.)

The moon lamp is from his nursery and is loved so it will go too.
I think a fun Banner like one of these, using the colors from his bedding will jazz up the rooms borders but will be super easy to change out.  (I love non permanent but super cute things!)

I may also use the old springs from the baby crib and make it into a place where we can display pictures of his favorite things, characters, people, art etc: (Check out all these fun ways to repurpose those old cribs that really should no longer be used for kids http://vintageserenity.blogspot.com/2011/01/repurposed-baby-crib-springs.html
 And if I can't find a Large Map then I'm sure I can thrift out a world globe which I think would be fun in there as well!

So after having seen all that is going in the room (well or hopefully going in the room) don't you think Beige walls will be just fine?

Now the work begins!
