Wonderful Woodwork

I had a simple box pattern woodwork installed in the sitting room in order to cover up the unsightly texture that rose to a height of 20 feet. The contractor and I spent nearly two weeks hanging from the scaffold as we put up the boards and beams and applied the creamy white paint.

  


The woodwork and beams instantly "aged" the room and gave it a feel of added structural integrity. It's virtually maintenance free,with the exception of an occasional dusting and paint touch up.

What an incredible wall treatment! I love everything about it. Do you happen to recall the paint color? I'm looking for a "creamy" white and that one looks perfect. By the way, your fur-baby is adorable. ;)

I love it...very British/European looking but nice and bright with the paint. Love that high peaked ceiling and the beams and the staircase too. Heck I just love EVERYTHING!
