Our entire ceiling is made of slatted wood and cross beams and it will be stained to a mahogany.
Currently the hallway walls are cedar with 15 ft ceilings. We are going to sheetrock over the cedar because the cedar is really impractical.

We do like the golden yellow color and it will go very well with the floors and a 40 foot across full wall fireplace and mantle.

There are things in this house that we cannot change...and have to work around, lol

I realize photos can be deceptive, but the whole effect is monochromatic to the point that some really nice detail is getting lost. Also it looks rather dark. I might lighten it two or three shades before I'd use it.

Then again, I'm not going to have to live with it, you are, so take this for what it's worth. (plink, plink)

I guess the picture is deceptive because I have tunnel vision looking at the wall color to the floor color to the what we are doing with the ceiling and I don't even see those parts,lol

In the kitchen, they are going to use the existing cabinets...and cut out the doors and insert stained glass in them and the countertops are going to be slate.

Not sure exactly about the backsplash yet. My guess is that it will be some type of metal.

Notice the front door and how much better it plays with the wall color. Also molding needs a deeper color.

Rich, warm and inviting, I think.

Is that what you are going for?

Our doors are mahogany--we won't be changing those. However, our ceilings are more of a honey color (see reply above) and we are going to go a little darker with those. We are going for warm and inviting.

Here is a picture of our ceilings--that might help to visualize. The entire house has these ceilings

this picture just has the floor and wall colors I like,lol

Not sure how possible that will be,lol

was just getting feedback,lol.

The picture of the ceiling is mine.

It is a plank ceiling with cross timbers all throughout the house. It needs to be stained now and we are going to go a little darker. The floor will be lighter.

is that not a picture of your actual ceiling?

are you going to do the planks and the timbers the same stain?

I would like my ceiling to be the color of the door.

the other one I assume is an Exterior door. Is that the color? The Exterior Door is the color you want on your ceiling?

ceilings are 15 feet high, correct?

The cross beams might go a bit darker

dark but, warm and inviting, I think.

The fireplace is a pretty strong focal point...it will done in River Rock (at least that is our prelim choice) then the stained concrete floors, and staining the ceilings...I think it is going to be quite beautiful. We are going with the gold/yellow color for the walls to bring warmth because of the stone

would love to see the completed project.

HGTV is like porn for me.

Very beautiful ... that floor is amazing!

I can't wait to do it.

Seriously it's so nice and um,,,i like this kind of floor. um....walls, do you wanna hang some paintings? i think that would be great too.
