Vaulted vs Flat ceiling - how to paint
Comments (2)It's hard to paint ceilings really evenly and a flat paint hides imperfections better than an eggshell, so I would recommend flat on the ceiling. It's a matter of personal taste as to whether or not you paint the ceilings the same color as the walls. No rule of thumb, per se. If you like the look of what you had before, then just paint them all the same in the new off white shade. I have off white walls and white white ceilings in a couple of rooms and you really can't tell that big a difference between the two. It does save time if you don't have to carefully edge along the ceiling/wall break, if you paint it all the same off white. If I were doing it, I would just get the eggshell for the wall paint and the flat for the ceiling in the same shade. Do two coats on each to get as much evenness as possible...See MoreTransitioning between vaulted wood ceiling and regular drywall ceiling
Comments (8)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>Thanks PPF for the suggestion! I appreciate someone actually giving me some practical advice. I will pass this on to the contractor. Wow Jan, you’re quite the positive one aren’t you?! I wasn’t asking for your opinion on the overall design of my house. I’m quite pleased with everything I’ve done in there! And I AM friends with a great electrician, but he hasn’t installed any of the lights in the living room yet. Nor has he finished installing all of the kitchen lights. Plus, I took this picture in the middle of the night last night so it looks much darker than it actually is in there. Thanks for your thoughtful input though. Patricia, it looks like flooring because it is flooring! I couldn’t find any “ceiling” boards that I liked or were wide enough, so we got creative. It’s acacia wood and it looks beautiful. I just wanted help with a trim piece, not redesigning/deconstructing my room!...See MoreTray vs. flat ceiling in Master Bedroom (vaulted an option too)
Comments (59)@njseventyfour I meant put the two adjacent in the corner - it looks like your chimney is to the right of that first window, correct? Couldn't you put the second window to the left of the remaining window? Might make for a nice spot to sit....See MoreInsulation in a new flat ceiling under an old vaulted ceiling?
Comments (2)Attic insulation usually falls into two categories - (most common) leave as unconditioned space, where the attic is vented outside and insulation is installed in the room ceiling below, or create conditioned space, where the attic vents are sealed, the roof deck is insulated and the room ceiling below usually does not have insulation. In your new attic area it sounds like you have conditioned space. If you want to leave it as conditioned space, most contractors will recommend venting it to the rest of the house to maintain a moderate level of air flow through the area. This could be something as simple as an HVAC grill in each end of the area to allow air flow, or you could also install a circulating fan. I have a conditioned attic and I chose to leave it unvented. It is a relatively high volume area (full attic), and during hot weather it seems to stay within about 10 degrees of the temp set in the house. My A/C unit is also located there, so I probably get some residual cooling effect from the duct runs, even though they are insulated. Bruce...See Morephassink
