Normandy Park Restoration

Finally got the ceiling in the theater room leveled.  Turns out leveling it is easy, and would be even easier to do during the original install.  Here is a picture of the end result. The veneer beams are cedar 2x4's, cut smooth, sanded, and then treated with danish oil.  The overall look works well.  It also has the designed benefit of being removable, should I need to do electrical or plumbing work in the future.  Here is a progress shot showing the beams being prepped.

Getting lots of things done that aren't visible, but did do one.  Got the reading nook started.  First step was to do the back wall.  Unfortunately this used all of the wood I had, so I'll have to get more for the footwell on the other side. And then put some of the trim in place I finally put the futon in, for now just to get it out of the way.  I'll have to remove the cover and wash as it's a mess right now, but this gives you an idea for what the nook will look like when it's done.
