Coffered Ceilings

The design goes against your typical style. All the beams are on the same level. While others are involved and you’re a hired gun, that has to make their desires become reality,did you have to bite your tongue on the design?

You got that right.

I would have left small differences in the beams, perhaps an 1/8” and for good reasons but my experience is always superseded by those who sign cheques. My reasons for altering elevations are now clearly visible and might be challenging to correct after painting/lacquer. Still, it’s one sweet ceiling after another and was joy to participate as the client can not only afford it, but appreciates the experience and skill levels needed to complete it : ))

Nice work! bringing anothers idea to life can be difficult, but this one looks good, As for coping I am with you on that, we cope all inside corners, you get the hang of it and it is fast.

Thank you.

That is a really elaborate, complex labor intensive therefore expensive ceiling! I take it the room is getting near completion and therefore the appropriate light fixture has not been installed. i hope that is right because it would be a real shame to have a room like that illuminated by a bare bulb! That would be like wearing a $2,000 custom suit and put on a clip on tie from a thrift store! Nice job, you did!

LittlePaw……….u are correct in your assumption, fancy lights are installed at the end to avoid, avoidable carnage to them : ))

Nice job .

We love the ceiling! But we have to disagree with LittlePaw – LOL. It’s the same lovely light fixture we still have in one bathroom! It made us feel right at home!

Thanks for sharing.
