HELP!!! Change ceiling height??
Comments (6)I think the ceilings "A" frame is starting to look a bit church'esc but whats happening in the plan above this space... Would it benefit to put secondary floor space above... I know this is a structural change and additional cost but if you'd loose the volume what do you get back in return ?? Any potential cost saving? The wall in the background does it make sense to put an opening there to looks down from the space behind the vault? If the ceiling has no direct portal to the exterior ie no chance for a skylight or exposed beams... then maybe you do lower the vault or flatten it out... both will add cost... But maybe start looking at imagery that will show you the potential of both... A quick 3d study could put your woes to rest with the vault but I know you have to move fast... good luck !!

Comments (34)Though a lot has to do with personal taste, I'd vote for different ceiling heights to suit the home's design, architecture, roof style and region of contruction. While architecting our home with hip roofs with, we (I) had crazy ideas about superhigh ceilings for our large home, currently under construction, however decided to have a blend of ceiling heights for entryway, bedrooms, living areas and even garages, which made more sense and glad we did. We used a blend of 9, 10, 12 and 16' ceilings with 16' for the two rear garages only. Instead of using ceiling heights which do nothing for the physical space, we opted for very open spaces, very wide hallways and corridors which can be experienced and felt every day....See MoreBacksplash tiles on butler pantry looks weird?
Comments (9)Your on the right track, but it does look weird, an Jan points out, tiling above the window. Another option for the side splash would have been to only extend the tile as far as the upper cabinet. Given the large format of your tile, that wouldn’t necessarily have been the way to go either. The last option I like to call the “tray”. You get a 1-2” sidesplash the same material as your counter. Unlike the “no sidesplash at all” option, this will still protect your cabinets and drywall. Everything looks better when it’s finished, even if you change nothing. I’d pull the tile down above the window and go with the tray. Just FYI, this is what a 2” bs looks like...See MoreWeird Half Bath with Half-a-Ceiling!! HELP!
Comments (13)Yes, toilet and sink can remain where they are. I would have one hanging hand towel space near the sink - disposable towels are great if you have a large number of people over at once, but for one or two at a time, it's not so luxurious, and rather wasteful if you are dashing in there yourself when home alone. Under the overhang... a cabinet to store supplies, including extra TP. Find an attractive knick knack for atop. Either art or wallpaper on the wall behind the toilet- or perhaps through the entire room (edit, wallpaper that is...) Paint or paper the slope the same as the wall it is on. If you are apt to have guests who are older, or may have physical limitations, consider a comfort height toilet. It would probably be worth changing out the tile, but you can always use the right rug for now....See MoreDiana Bier Interiors, LLC
