painting slabs

I have heard of many people painting their slabs instead of tiling....How does that work and does it look real?

painting stripes

I started with a dark red wall and am applying a slightly lighter color mixed with a glaze for a striping effect. When I pulled off the tape, which was a low tack tape, some of the paint came off too! I was careful to remove the tape soon after the painting, but it still happened. Now I have a whole where there is no paint. Should I apply spackle to build up the layers sand a little, and then paint over? Any suggestions?

I am getting ready to paint my 15x16 bedroom navy blue, my carpet is burgundy. My ceiling and woodwork is currently white. I was thinking about painting my ceiling navy also and leaving the white trim. My furniture is light to mediam oak. Do you think this would look okay? :confused:
