How come the ceilings are at different levels?? Is is a design thing? I am assuming that there will be little round lights in the 2nd picture??


Sorry if I am sounding a bit blonde........

The lower bit is above the kitchen to 'define the area', The higher bit just looks good (it must do as I have them too and are set to become a design classic that will add thousands to the resale value )

You look blonde in the photo

The kitchen ceiling is what is known as a bulkhead, as Gjn200 says, helps define the kitchen area, but is a type of feature ceiling.

The other one is in the theatre room, and is called a coffered ceiling. That again is a feature ceiling, and will have downlights in the middle, which dim.

I am more of a mouse, but my friends will tell you different

Ahh that makes sense. Dimmer lights in the Theatre, that'll be sooo cool.

I like the idea of dipping and raising ceilings in the house, I suppose if it's all opened planned it certainly gives the rooms individualality (sp).

Can't wait to have my own home out there

Getting more excited every day!

They've took the wood supports out of the alfresco door frame so I would think they would be going to lock up the house quite soon

Fingers crossed

Well we should exhange our contracts for the house today, so all being well, we are aiming for the 5th November. Hope it's summertime then, it's getting a tad chilly over here now!

It took us 3 months to get to the beach!

That was just because neither of us could drive
