After falling in love with opening up our ceiling in our kitchen... we finally pulled that design choice into the rest of the house, yes we tore out our ceilings throughout the entire main floor. During this process we have had so many people message, asking why we decided to take them out, because they are debating doing it too. Well, I will say, like most design, it is not for everyone. If you are on the fence of going down this…
