The reason why new constructions have popcorn or sprayed stucco ceilings is that it's cheaper than making the drywall ceiling smooth by taping and mudding. There is a better solution. We're talking no mess, no dust, no toxic vapours (in fact, no vapours at all), with a finish as smooth as a mirror and unlimited design options. It's called stretch ceiling. A fully recyclable membrane, nonporous and impervious to cooking grease and odours, is stretched across the ceiling, either over an existing ceiling, or in a new build, instead of installing drywall and covering it with popcorn. Tracks, or profiles, screwed into the walls or existing ceiling around the edges hold the membrane in place. These profiles and the membrane take up less than one inch of room height. If you later desire a change, a new membrane can be inserted into the same tracks, or the tracks can be unscrewed and the screw holes easily filled with a little bit of filler. You will not need to do this as maintenance, however. The system lasts a lifetime. We take care of installation for you, and installation is included in the price that we quote. We carry over 280 colours, in high gloss, matte, satin, and fine canvas-textured finishes. Here are a few examples, please feel free to visit our profile for more, and add them to your ideabooks!

HI -- I have always had the TV mounted on the wall beside the fireplace . Only when there is no other place but to put it over the mantel then it would have to be put on a tilt bracket for better viewing . Looks like you have the room and the connections to have the TV on the side . Better to hide the wiring and with a nice console under it will look nice and be better for viewing . Put a nice round mirror over the mantel , that would be better .

Other than my porch ceiling and kids' bath in my old home I've never painted a ceiling. When we moved last year our new home has tray ceilings. Painting them, a very soft pale blue, really accentuated the molding we spent money on. Why have it if it fades into the ceiling? Pleased with the results we painted the ceilings at our beach condo, lemon chiffon. Very nice way to not only accent the molding but add brightness to a condo that only has two natural light exposures.

Go to Your Houzz and open the Ideabook. Then select EDIT from the row of boxes just above the green bar. The photos will change and there is a small square box in the top right corner of each photo. Click the box in the photo you want to remove and then click the box above that says Remove Photo. Once you have removed what you want, you would save the Ideabook.
