Did you use the same paint on ceiling & walls or mix a satin or something for the walls with the flatter ceiling paint in the same color?

Hi and thanks for the question! While flat paint is usually used to ceilings, we used the same finish on all the walls and ceilings here for economical purposes. (You'll see that there is a slight sheen to the ceiling surface, which would be avoided by using flat paint. But in this case, we kind of like it!) -Emily
