Make drywall beams look like wood - How do you make drywall beams look like wood »
· Comment · 4 weeks ago
Gardner Mohr Architects LLC Good question. Generally speaking, you can "wrap" drywalled beams with wood material. But the devil is in the details, and a good recommendation is hard to offer without knowing more information about what you are trying to achieve. A good online search in resources such as Fine Homebuilding may help illuminate options.

In the case of the project in this image, there were no drywall beams, but rather a dropped drywall ceiling clad with bamboo flooring. To clad the soffit, we screwed furring strips through the drywall to the joists above, and then used bamboo flooring, glued to the furring strips and nailed through the tongue to the furring strips.

How do I do a drop ceiling like this over the island with lights? »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Gardner Mohr Architects LLC This is an area where a low ceiling meets a high ceiling. See this photo for the view from the opposite direction:
. The way we did this was to use bamboo flooring (yes, bamboo flooring), on spacers to create the reveal (thin space) at the forward edge in the photo above. Hope this helps.

BambooBamboo's best green feature is that it's a rapidly renewable resource, plus it's naturally stronger and harder than most other hardwoods. Teragren, one of the best-known producers, offers an FSC-certified product called FSC-Pure. Be aware, though, that almost all commercial bamboo comes from China, so a lot of energy goes into transporting the product to the United States.Cost: $26 to $36 per square foot for the material only
Ecofriendly Kitchen CountersA little research is really all that's required today to make your new kitchen ecofriendly. The wide variety of material styles and costs — from salvaged wood to Bio-Glass to bamboo (shown in this photo) — means you can find just the right green countertop material for your home.Guide: Pros and cons of ecofriendly countertop materials
