Thanks Brandon! No the house did not have vaulted ceilings! When you walked in you could take 4-5 steps up to another level, but it was all flat 8' ceilings. Here's the before photo of the exterior - big difference!

Wow! Ok I'm taking this to my contractor and demanding this vaulting in our remodel lol. It must have been some pretty complicated engineering?

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie

I would love a little advice for our new build. We are building an open plan kitchen/dining with a lot of glass. But we are unsure how to lay it out. We love cooking and want the kitchen to be the main feature... it will have a vaulted ceiling with skylights so it is a fixed size. But we would also love to fit in a seating area +/-tv in the dining room but are unsure if we have the space as we don't want it cramped. Would love any form of input or advice. Thank you!

Light fittings in kitchen
Q

Hey folks I think I have gone a little wrong in my kitchen lighting and wiring plan. I have a mildly vaulted ceiling (so it's high) and originally i had planned to run a kitchen island down the centre with the table across the door at the back. So i positioned the two pendant light cables accordingly down the centre. There is a ring of spot lights all around the edge of the room. Now the island will be shifted right closer to the main worktop and the table will run parallel on the other side closer to the door leaving my two centre lights hanging over nothing as such. Moving/extending the cables is going to be challenging. Will this look at bit daft? Any suggestions of light fittings for this sort of scenario? The purpose of the pendant lights are for more atmosphere and will be a warmer light than the recess lights.

Family Room Wall Dilemma

The lower walls are knotty pine planks (5-1/2" x 3/8" x various lengths) installed years ago. They were whitewashed a few times and now fairly white. Ceiling was recently raised (vaulted ceiling with 2 exposed trusses). My delimma is that I cannot find the same thickness or width of pine planking and it doesn't look like I will be able to. I wanted to continue this diagonal pattern all the way up. Now unsure what to do. Whatever I do, I want to make sure that one's eyes will continue to be drawn upward since I have lived with a 7 ft ceiling for way too long! I'm not really wanting to paint the drywall upper area white, but maybe. I generally like a contemporary look, but the exposed trusses just spoke to me when we opened the ceiling up. Not sure how to finish those either. Any ideas, no matter how far out they sound would be greatly appreciated. At this point, I am just stuck and can't finish this room.

I hope that is possible for you! Having some variance in ceiling height like vaulting or switching from 9' to 11' ceilings is a great way to define spaces while leaving the floorplan open. For this home, we actually gutted quite a bit to transform it. We were able to leave most exterior walls, some of the interior lower level and a few of the interior main level walls, but completely removed the roof to do so, which gave us a lot of flexibility to create that vault. So the blueprints and engineering definitely took some time and detail to make this happen!
