Ceiling

The ceiling is probably the most commonly over looked area in a home. It occupies a lot of square footage, but yet most people leave it untouched. I think people are afraid to mess with it because it might make a space smaller or it'll just not that important.

In the right application, the ceiling does not only add to the room, it might be the attention grabber. I found a few examples of what you can do with your ceiling.

Coffered ceilings add classic elegance and architectural detail.


Guilded ceilings gives a luxurous and vintage look.


Painted ceilings are playful and original. It's also a great way to bring a ceiling down if you live in a loft.


Suspended ceilings can add drama to any room.

Chicago Fests

I apologize I've taken a month off from blogging to enjoy the summer. Summer is an awesome time to explore the city. There are festivals all over every weekend. Some of the great ones coming up are Black Thai International Arts, Bucktown Arts Fest and Renegade Craft Fair. You can find one of a kind pieces for very resonable prices. I also enjoy supporting independent artists.

On another note, I just found out Jayson Home & Garden is moving and they're closing their outlet location. Jayson offers a very unique selection of home furnishing, accessories and frames. Their style is a cross between shabby chic and classic modern. Now they're taking an extra 20% off their already 75% off items.
