Debra Campbell Design VERY small, as are most classic Carmel cottages. The kitchen floor space is probably 8x8 at best, and the dining room is the table between the living room door and the kitchen, so maybe 6x6, and the living is long but narrow, so probably 20' long and only 7-8 feet deep (at most.)
paint sheen - I am buying a house at the beach with ceilings like this; however, they are purple!! So, I am having them painted white - do I paint it flat or with a sheen to it? I have seen both, not sure which route to go. »
Debra Campbell Design I like flat, but in higher traffic areas use eggshell or satin because you cannot wash flat paint. Use eggshell, satin or glossy in areas with moisture like bathrooms and kitchens. Will you use a professional painter? If so, they will advise what to use on each areas.
