Guess What This Ceiling Was Made From?
Texas-based self-taught carpenter, electrician, and plumber Dan Phillips builds low-income houses out of salvaged items, in an effort to prove that attractive, affordable housing is possible. Here, he's used thousands of small wooden pieces to create the ceiling for one of his projects. Can you guess what they are?
Midday Muse: Painted Ceilings
Think outside of the blanc. Put down your Benjamin Moore Decorator's White, and opt for color on your ceiling instead. You may think you're playing it safe by leaving yours white, but you're actually just ignoring the potential there.By painting your ceiling a pale hue of a cool color, such as green or blue, you will visually lift the ceiling, since those colors recede, instantly making a small room feel larger.

Does Your Home Have Soaring Ceilings?
I've been looking for the perfect pendant or chandelier for my living room for a while now, but since our home's ceilings are only 10 feet tall, I've had to compromise on size. What I wouldn't give for gorgeous, soaring ceilings in my home! Besides adding a sense of drama, they also add airiness to a home.
Cool Idea: Ceiling Medallion Light
Switzerland-based product design consultancy Life Goods designed the Ceiling Light, which mimics the shape of a traditional ceiling medallion. I've always loved ornate ceiling medallions, so it's refreshing to see the design take on a different function. The design doesn't seem to be in production, but I'll be the first to get my hands on the clever luminary if it ever is.
Do You Have a Ceiling Rose?
A ceiling rose is a round, ornamental decorative element affixed to the ceiling from which a chandelier or pendant is suspended. They're common in historical Victorian and Edwardian homes (especially in the UK), but they can easily be added to new homes. And so long as your home isn't super modern, they look elegant and relevant with many styles of design.
Ask a Professional: I Need a New Ceiling Lamp!
Hi Casa,
I'm in desperate need of help. I'm redecorating my living room and need to find a cool ceiling lamp fixture. There is one annoying condition: the lamp has to have a pull cord because the fixture is not attached to a light switch.
Good, Better, Best: Island-Inspired Ceiling Fans
When CasaSugar reader Sumnboutme bookmarked a gorgeous ceiling fan as part of the seaside cottage Casa Craving challenge, I was inspired to go on the hunt for two more island-inspired ceiling fans to round out a Good, Better, Best. These easy, breezy fans would work well with Caribbean-style decor or minimalist, natural elements.
Good: I love the angled blades on this light and airy Hampton Bay 4-Blade Fan with Bahama Beige Finish ($199).
Love It or Hate It? Tin Ceiling Tile Headboard
I recently spotted tin ceiling tiles used as a headboard in the portfolio of photographer Aimee Herring, and fell in lust! I've always found intricate, tin tiles particularly beautiful, and have thought about using them as a backsplash in my kitchen, but never in the bedroom. It probably doesn't make for the most comfortable headboard when you're sitting up reading at night.
Do You Have Floor to Ceiling Doors?
If you live in a temperate climate and have an outside living space, floor to ceiling doors, like these folding ones or sliding doors, are a wonderful way to blend your indoor and outdoor spaces. I'd love to have one right off of the kitchen, so serving dinner outside would be a breeze. Do you have any?
Casa Quickie: Reverse Your Ceiling Fan's Direction
If you live in the northern hemisphere and haven't yet switched the direction of your ceiling fan's blades, now's the time to do so. You want to make sure that the blades' direction is switched from moving in a counterclockwise direction to a clockwise direction.
To do so, just flip the switch at the base so that the blades rotate clockwise (that's when you're looking up at it from below).
