Pieces of My Puzzle 9-28-14


Happy Sunday!  I can not believe it has been so long since I have written a post like this...sorry, ya know life can get crazy sometimes.

Right now, I am in full Baseball mode.  My team, the Kansas City Royals clinched post season play for the first time in 29 years!  Yes, that is right, 29 years, the last time the Royals played in post season play, it was 1985!  In 1985, I was in 7th grade!  Please don't take the time to do the math to see how old I am!

Door Wall

The tour of our new Rustic Home continues today.  I promised that once we get moved and settled, I will get back to blogging about cookies, creating some crafts and sharing some recipes, but for right now, my life is all new house, all the time!  Hang with me..I am sure it will not be that much longer!


Today, I want to share one of my favorite features of the house, well, one of my favorites.

My door wall, or wall of doors or door accent wall, or as I call it "freaking cool" Or as many have said "well...that is different"

Custom Vents for Planked Ceiling

Last week, I shared our Wood Planked Ceilings, and teased about the vents and the can light rings, well today, I will share the details of the vents.


 When we were planning this house, we knew it would be our "forever" home, which meant we made it pretty much handicap  accessible, no steps, 36 inch doors, stuff like that.  So, that meant we built a slab home, and all the heat and AC vents were placed in the ceilings.  All but three rooms in this home have wood planked ceilings.

Wood Planked Ceiling

Our new rustic home is coming together, and tonight, I want to share our Wood Planked Ceiling.

Wood Planked Ceiling

This is a picture of our living room.  This ceiling is made entirely out of walnut plants.  This photo was taken pretty early in the building process you can see the unfinished walls, and the wire hanging out of the ceiling.  What you also see is the HUGE BEAM that is at the entry of the living room.  This thing is HUGE, it took 6 big ole fellas to lift it up and place it, I am not sure where it came from, but we have had it forever!  It is old, and beat up, has old nails and nicks and scratches, this beam has been around the block a time or two, but is happy now, in it's forever home.

Wood Planked Ceiling

Here is a shot of the rest of the great room.  This ceiling is planked with a variety of wood, most of it light in color.  They are all various widths and lengths, we just used what we had, cutting and ripping them as we needed. My favorite planks are the ones with the pretty grain showing, you know the slightly imperfect ones, I love me some wonky plants.

Another shot, from early in the building process...why hello Mr. Recessed Light, shouldn't you be hidden IN the ceiling?

Wood Planked Ceiling

There, that is better!  This final shot is also a little teaser for my next post.  See those recessed lights, aren't they pretty?  They have custom rustic rings around them, I will share all about then in my next post. We are building a rustic house, and no cheap plastic rings will do for me.  And in the bottom left corner, that is our heat vent, also custom..and YES, I will share how Mr. Cookie Puzzle made them next time.
