Our New Old Ceiling...

Ever since we bought this house, we've thought it would be amazing to have coffered ceilings in our living room as many other craftsman bungalows like ours have. Thinking it was out of our budget, we never looked into it seriously until recently. Out of sheer luck, we came across Antoni & Adam Kolodynski , the father & son team from Perfect Home Carpentry. At our initial consultation, they were extremely professional and offered us a very reasonable quote. We started to think our dream could become a reality!

First things first, we needed to have an electrician come and install the central light fixture we felt the room was lacking. With only 2 wall sconces and a floor lamp, it always seemed dark in the space and we wanted to brighten things up. Last week the electrician came out and tackled several projects including installing a new arts & crafts style lamp post out front. With the ceiling fixture in, we were ready to proceed with the coffered ceiling installation. Over the past 2 days, Adam & Antoni worked very hard to get everything perfect and we are extremely satisfied with the results. In fact, it looks like it could be original to the home! I don't have any before pictures, but just imagine a plain white ceiling- got that picture in your head?
