Never Forget the Ceiling...

I was looking at one of my favorite designers website ~ Jay Jeffers ~ for stair rail inspiration. I found it.



What I wasn't planning on was finding the brilliance with the ceiling treatments. I couldn't get enough of them. Let me show you...


Everything from soft and subtle to bold and striking.

Moral of the story ~ never forget the ceiling AND if you need more inspiration, check out the JDG.

Beam Me Up

I am digging these beamed ceilings. There is something so natural and warm about them. The ceiling in this room is particularly high so something needed to be done to make the space more human versus God-like. Wonderful solution! Here are more examples of what I consider well-done beamed ceilings....

In the above example, they painted the wood ceiling and beams white. Very clean and crisp. Yet a lot of interest and texture. They brought back in the natural with the use of the wicker shades. Brilliant!

Beamed ceilings can be very elegant when paired with more formal architectural elements. Love that picture.


Here again, the beamed ceiling is painted white likely to have it behave in a more expansive manner but the texture and pattern remain. Clean and crisp but paired with worn elements that bring back the warm and natural feel.

What do you think ~ beam me up or bury them?
