Anyone have pics of 10ft ceiling with 42in upper cabinets?
Comments (18)Our house is in progress. We're doing JUST that...a contoured wood hood to the ceiling and 10 foot cabinets with molding above (the molding and the hood are not on yet) Here's some pics of the VERY rough kitchen without anything other than cabinets with unadjusted doors: Here's the hood. Well, not THE hood. The paint wasn't right so it has to be fixed. But that's the shape minus the molding at the top: Sink side of kitchen. I wish I'd have gotten a better shot since you can't see the glass cab on the right of the window. But you can see that in the range wall pic above I guess. There will be a window seat to the area to the left of the kitchen (that's the dining table area) with solid-door hutches on each side of those wing walls that face inwards. We are doing those to the ceiling to break up the line of cabinetry around the room and add height along with the hood. The built-ins on either side of the fireplace (that's covered up with that big board over on the left side) will go to 8 feet. Those will be cabinets on bottom and open shelves on the top with the backs painted out a gray shade: I looked to nini's kitchen for inspiration too. It's so pretty! Here's some kitchens with hoods to the ceiling and cabinets down a foot or two:...See More10 ft ceilings in the kitchen
Comments (23)Everybody ha a different opinion on this My KD insists that the best look (and this guy is from a super high end kitchen firm---talking $500K and up kitchens--believe it or not)---is to have space above the cabinet and ceiling--and then to light that space with indirect lighting--low voltage or even fluorescent (it supposedly looks good up there depending on wall paint color) His opinion is that it give the room an amazingly bigger feel--more volume than one would imagine Therefore---I'm blowing out a ceiling--raising a header---to achieve a 9'9" ceiling !! and going with 42" wall cabs--thus a total cab height of about 8'---thus an air space above to ceiling of 1'8" Has anyone else had this open air above cab advice?...See MoreSmall (8x9) room with high ceilings (10ft).

Comments (5)Go to a thrift shop and look for an attractive long, skinny leaning mirror, which will reflect light from your window and visually expand the room that way. Going by suggestions made in your other post, you hopefully will have gotten new bedding, moved the art lower, so that a mirror will reflect those updates. Also consider a swag lamp with white cord hanging over the bed--something cloudlike from Ikea like this to take advantage of your tall ceiling but bring it down a bit. This is the small Krusnig lampshade $13. Oops, sorry it won't link. You can find it here: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00259914/ Consider a skyscape poster for over the bed to bring the outside inside and draw attention to the height of the room. If you're allowed to paint, paint the ceiling blue:...See MoreIntegrated LED Recessed Ceiling Light
Comments (30)If you look closely at the photos of the fixtures, you will see that the Nora Cobalt is a "retrofit" type fixture (like the Halo the OP originally asked about) where the driver, heatsink and LED board are in one compact "trim" unit that is installed in a standard metal housing used for various kinds of fixtures. If the fixture fails, the "trim" unit would need to be replaced. The Lightolier LyteCaster L3 is a modular design with the driver (step-down transformer and current stabilizer) mounted in the housing and the light unit and heat sink fits into the "trim". If the fixture fails or the color dims, the appropriate part can be replaced. The parts can also be upgraded. These fixtures need a more substantial heat sink because the COB chips are more compact than the typical SMD chips. The Nora Cobalt is intended for residential use and the Lightolier LyteCaster L3 is intended for residential and light commercial use. I recommended them because they are both more powerful than typical LED recessed fixtures, are more deeply recessed, have an adjustable beam angle and use a superior COB LED. The L3 also has a great wall-washer for a more uniform light on a wall but it costs another $20+. There are no bargains in good lighting....See MoreDavid
