Recently put a tin ceiling in the kitchen and used a beautiful faux finish giving the ceiling a very distinct look.

The crystal chandeliers in the home are absolutely exquisite. The main floor features formal living room, dining room, den, kitchen, parlor and 1/2 bath.  The second floor contains 3 bedrooms and a full bath.
