Modern Farmhouse Ceiling 

Historically, much of the character and charm in traditional homes was focused on decorative ceilings. This home in New Orleans takes you back to old world design aesthetics... but with modern style. Reclaimed hand hewn beams from Colorado adorn the ceiling in an elegant coffered design. The same beams are used as structural support posts and on door casings. The rich, brown tones of the reclaimed wood paneling on the ceiling contrast perfectly with the white shiplap on the walls to make this large, open room feel intimate and cozy.
