										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seasons are changing, much in life is changing, so why not do a BIG chop to suit? I&#8217;ve been waiting to do this for so long and the time is finally here. I&#8217;m eyeing all sorts of fun styles similar to my texture and a bob pixie haircut &#8211; a bixie. My version will be shag, bob, pixie, mullet, but still a DIY style, of course.</p>

<p>There is more to this before story that I share with you on <span id="more-53182"></span>my new brand&#8217;s site &#8211; <a href="https://livinrealwithlarissa.com." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Livin&#8217; Real with Larissa</strong></a>.</p>

<p>While I&#8217;m making behind-the-scenes changes to make the final transition, I&#8217;m posting on both sites continuously. And I&#8217;ll be honest there&#8217;s not much joy in doing that.</p>
<p>However, I&#8217;m also making changes at my new home that are part of my recent life&#8217;s changes which may lead me in an entirely new direction. Your prayers are coveted and always felt. Thank you.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re here with me, then join me in a happy dance! Why? Because I am FINALLY painting my family room ceiling!</p>
<p><a href="https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-ready-to-paint.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-53123" title="Larissa Ready for Painting Family Room Ceiling | livinrealwithlairssa.com #livinrealwithlarissa" src="https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-ready-to-paint.jpg" alt="Larissa Ready for Painting Family Room Ceiling | livinrealwithlairssa.com #livinrealwithlarissa" width="650" height="382" srcset="https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-ready-to-paint.jpg 1838w, https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-ready-to-paint-300x176.jpg 300w, https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-ready-to-paint-768x451.jpg 768w, https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-ready-to-paint-1536x903.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></a></p>
<p>Now&#8230; you know I&#8217;m not one to back away from a chore, right?</p>
<p>Here are some of my past ceiling remodels:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://prodigalpieces.com/diy-coffered-ceiling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Family Room Ceiling</strong></a> – where I left the beams open</li>
<li><a href="https://prodigalpieces.com/dining-room-ceiling-remodel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dining Room Ceiling</strong></a> – also where I left the beams open</li>
<li><a href="https://prodigalpieces.com/master-bedroom-remodel-french-farmhouse-style-part-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Master Bedroom Ceiling</strong></a> (featured by <a href="https://livinrealwithlarissa.com/press/"><strong>This Old House</strong></a>) where I created faux beams</li>
<li>and many more</li>
</ul>
<p>But this one is going to kick my fanny right proper and leave me ready for a break, me thinks.</p>
<p>However, I&#8217;m here to show you how to paint and open beam ceiling the easiest way possible.</p>
<p>Make the kids do it.</p>
<p>ha!</p>
<p>Just kidding.</p>
<p>No, really. There are different ways to go about this and after all my prep work I&#8217;m ready to go.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s not wait another minute more and head below to see the painted ceiling!</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://livinrealwithlarissa.com/paint-an-open-beam-ceiling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HEAD HERE TO PAINTING THE FAMILY ROOM POST</a></h1>
<p>In the meantime, if you&#8217;re <a href="https://livinrealwithlarissa.com/subscribe/"><strong>signed up for my FREE newsletter</strong></a>, you saw I mention some changes coming to make the final transition from Prodigal Pieces to <a href="https://livinrealwithlarissa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Livin&#8217; Real with Larissa</strong></a> (LRL) full time.</p>
<p>This has been a long process made longer because&#8230; well&#8230; I moved from my home of 22 years and have been remodeling every bit of my new home.</p>
<p>With that, I&#8217;ve had to work on my site in the wee hours of the morning and late nights.</p>
<p>You will see ads being added to LRL (same as Prodigal Pieces) because this is my livelihood.</p>
<p>However, you will have the option to remove ads on LRL if you prefer that option.</p>
<p>So, stay tuned and be patient as my tech team and I make sure there are little, if any, glitches along the way. I want to make this a space we can keep it real and a family vibe.</p>
<p>Feel free to reach out via email if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Now take a minute to see my ceiling reveal!</p>

However, so much rain keeps me from being able to work outside. This cabin fever mama needs some dirt under her fingernails! Well, I can still have that while working inside on my DIY ceiling transition.</p>
<p>Are you in similar situation or are you craving a good pour?</p>
<p>At any rate, I&#8217;m trying to keep moving along in my new home remodel one project at a time or as weather permits.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of you, like me, like to make changes to your home. Whether seasonal, just for fun, or just can&#8217;t stand it any longer. {{raises hand}}. Sometimes it doesn&#8217;t take much. And sometimes&#8230; it&#8217;s a doozy. I have an update for my family room for you today. Hot mess it is!</p>
<p>I mean, what fun is that if <a href="https://livinrealwithlarissa.com/new-home-before-outside/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>my new home</strong></a> is already complete?</p>
<p><a href="https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-upgrading-stairwell-lighting.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-53028" title="Larissa Upgrading Staircase Lights - Update for my Family Room | livinrealwithlarissa.com #livinrealwithlarissa" src="https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-upgrading-stairwell-lighting.jpg" alt="Larissa Upgrading Staircase Lights - Update for my Family Room | livinrealwithlarissa.com #livinrealwithlarissa" width="650" height="488" srcset="https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-upgrading-stairwell-lighting.jpg 1920w, https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-upgrading-stairwell-lighting-300x225.jpg 300w, https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-upgrading-stairwell-lighting-768x576.jpg 768w, https://prodigalpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/larissa-upgrading-stairwell-lighting-1536x1152.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s only been SIX MONTHS since I&#8217;ve moved in.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that crazy?! So much has happened in that short time that it blows my mind.</p>
<p>There isn&#8217;t one single room or even the exterior that hasn&#8217;t been <span id="more-53010"></span>Larissa-fied already.</p>
<p>heh, heh, heh.</p>
<p>Will I get to the finish line?</p>
<p>Lord willing, yes.</p>
<p>However, I am working outside in fair weather and inside in inclement weather. With that, I seem to have eye-twitching unfinished business all over the place.</p>
<p>But&#8230; it&#8217;s all for a reason. I&#8217;m rewiring things to make sense for future remodels and planning all along the way.</p>
<p>Now that <a href="https://livinrealwithlarissa.com/diy-garage-storage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>my garage is build is completed</strong></a>, I breathe a huge sigh of relief on many fronts.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s not wait another minute and head over to my new site and brand, <a href="https://livinrealwithlarissa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Livin&#8217; Real with Larissa</strong></a> by tapping or clicking the text below.</p>
