Look up!

OK, I have to admit, "one blustery day" (as "Pooh" would say) is enough!

My good friend Marsha (who is visiting from Omaha this week) and I are ready to find something fun to do on the other side of the door! According to the weather man things are looking up, so join me for a moment and let's "look up" too!

This tin ceiling is in the dining room of a home from the Grand Tour of Homes in Heath. It creates a cozy feel in an otherwise lofty room. In new construction today, the ceilings are getting higher and higher. I love the feeling of grandeur, however a dining room needs to be warm and inviting; an intimate place to share food and fellowship with family and friends. As decorators we accomplish this feeling of warmth and seclusion (in this case) by using a deep terracotta glaze over the tin. This color was used as the main accent color throughout the house.

The addition of carved molding spaced well below the crown molding and stained dark also helps to visually lower the ceiling. MEOW! You have a much more comfortable, cozy space that is enjoyable to be in.

So the only thing left to do is to set the table, invite over your best friend and "Excuse me, would you please pass the Grey Poupon!"


That's all for now but as always...


Have a colorful day!
