Dancing on the Ceiling

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 . . .

  1. Hello Teresa Marie,
    Coffered ceilings are a lot of work, but they absolutely beautiful when finished and will look perfectly at home in your gorgeous house.

  2. 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.
    Also, 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.

  3. 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!
