I'm imagining a coffered ceiling in the dining room of Pennethorne Manor. As usual, the manor is speaking to me and she says she wants one. Like this . . .
HA! Dream on sister! In reality, it will probably end up looking something like this . . .
Or this . . .
I just love making more work for myself (she says with a sarcastic tone). But when I get something in my head I can't let it go. Now to figure out how to accomplish such a monumental task . . .
Hello Teresa Marie,
ReplyDeleteCoffered ceilings are a lot of work, but they absolutely beautiful when finished and will look perfectly at home in your gorgeous house.
Big hug

Thank you Giac! I'm prepared for a lot of pain! LOL!

Hi Teresa! I am a lover of these amazing ceilings, as well, but all those miter cuts make me afraid to try. I may end up wasting a lot of wood trims! So if you want to cheat a little, you might think about using some Dresden border over straight wood to get both the look you're after and an easier project. Alpha Stamps usually carries a good selection of the Dresden.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you have a Cricut or can cut matboard, what I did for my daughter's little kitchen scene ceiling might spur ideas for you.

You've been producing such INTERESTING architectural details inside your Manor and so I know that this coffered ceiling will feel right at home inside it too, AND I can't wait to see how you'll do it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth! The ideas are streaming!
