Painting of a Different Sort - Spare Bedroom

My wife decided to paint the spare bedroom three weeks ago and have it finished before her parents arrived yesterday. Painting a room is similar and different to painting models. You can try out new colors, never know exactly what you're going to get, take time to do it right, benefit from careful attention to detail and have difficulties along the way with both things. You can also play in a room and with a model once you're done. Here's the finished product.
We used the same colors as our main level washroom, light purple and light orange. They were opposing colors on the color wheel so we tried them out and liked the result, hence using them for the spare bedroom. Also, one wall is purple and the others are orange...the opposite of the bathroom.
As a bit of a backstory, the room before was beige. Everything...walls and ceiling. In fact the entire upper floor walls and ceilings were the same darker beige.We redid the bedroom in a light green and it made a remarkable difference. Here's an example of a beige ceiling...
Here is the new "milky Way" white ceiling.
 And here is one of our two, three legged cats, surveying outside the window and expecting affection for it. Don't worry, he got some rubs and pets on the head.
