| The plywood triangle pieces
got attached to the beams between the zig-zag pieces of wood on all
sides. I will probably get a fabo chandelier but in the meantime we are
going to hang a wrought iron looking OK fixture that I got at Lowe's.
Aaron has had to take the center section in and out a few times while he
has built up all this and figured out to hang the fixture. |

|
There are four additional
decorative smaller panels that go between the beams. I tried various
arrangements of the popsicle sticks before deciding on the final
design. |

|
I have primed the 4 smaller medallion
inserts. Luckily the holes are quickly painted using the tip end of a
mini foam roller held in the hand like a pencil and squish it in.
|
|
To make these mitered corner ceiling inserts,
Aaron used a special tool that sits on the edge of a board and guides your
special drill bit in at the perfect angle for wood screws. The company
even makes wood plugs the exact shape and angle to drive into the drilled
hole. You get an invisible but very secure way to join boards at the edge.

Fed Ex showed up with last parts needed to
finish out our living room ceiling. We needed a few more pieces to make
up the odd shaped panels we had running down the long hall. ACP and Evoba
Ceilings has been a pure delight to deal with. They got the exact
number of pieces out to us lickety-split. |

Later on I put a coat of the ceiling
paint, a glossy light taupe color. I figured that it would be a lot
easier to paint these on the ground than 20 feet up in the air and
upside down. Here you see the last of the stacked up maple ceiling
panels and connector pieces from the living room ceiling that had to be
whitewashed so Aaron and Dan can finish the fantastic living room
ceiling. . Work...work...WORK. |
| Aaron was off for President's Day and the
next day too, so hopefully tomorrow we can finish up the living room
ceiling. Maybe the bedroom ceiling Cuban ceiling too. |

The Dac-Art home in Gulf Breeze is now on
the market and it is a fabulous deal. They have it listed for way
less than they spent building it. The owners love it but family
matters have made them decide to move back to N.O. Gulf Breeze is a
desirable area next to Pensacola. See the wonderful 360
tour here.

It was a big job for the painters to get
all this primed and painted. You might know that the women on the
painting team ended up doing this job. I did find that the round-y end
of a small foam mini-roller, sometimes called a hot-dog roller, was
perfect to use the end to paint the insides of the little holes in the
plywood triangles. That made quick work of a contour that was very time
consuming and difficult with a brush.

I am very pleased with how it
looks. The lighting fixture from Lowe's worked out fine. It definitely
looks better since I wrapped the bulb socket tubing in gold fan cord
chain.
