I used to be into the rustic lodge look. I would have loved all that pine back then! But tastes change and now I’d vote to paint it. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
The only pine I would never paint is an old, mellowed pine floor in the South; otherwise, paint to your heart’s desire! AND that chandler is so cliche, out the front door back to the wild! Can’t wait to see this project in the works and completed!
I grew up with lots of cherry wood and mahogany so when I came out west the pine seemed so light. This would have seemed light to me many years ago, but after seeing the finished product, I see how the paint really brightens the space. I like that you kept some of the heritage pine in the ceiling. Good choices!
It looks better with the paint, but I am an environmentalist and I think I would have just kept the pine but moved out the furniture. I look your color schemes though too. It is really beautiful. I think it was smart to change the bathrooms so as to better incorporate that beam. It is very smart Sarah. I feel like I am learning from a college professor when I watch these videos. You really offer so much value to us on TH-cam for free. We thank you!
Yasssss!!!!! Very excited to see this project. If anyone deserves carpe blanche its Sara Richardson. Everything she touches turns into something absolutely stunning.
Sarah, Since you were kind enough to ask......I would definitely paint 🖌 the ceiling . This would be so exciting to see. 👀 I never cared for wood and wood and more wood everywhere.....less is more. Whatever you 👩🏻 decide I always love it and get it. Thank you again Sarah for sharing these projects.👏 What a fantastic decorating education 📓 watching you re-design these areas. Lovvvve it.....🙋🏼 🇨🇦
Yes! Paint the ceiling white-ish! And your idea to paint the remaining exposed pine in another greyish color sounds fab. Be sure to leave a memento of yellowed pine somewhere. Have fun you guys!
Yes paint the ceiling but not the beams. The chandelier would look nice painted gold which would be so glamorous. Just dreaming. Oh well love you Sarah!!
I LOVE watching designers space plan! You folks come up with things I'd never think of, and I really learn stuff. My votes are for don't paint the ceiling -- paint anything else you want EXCEPT I think I like the antler (shed?) chandelier natural. Gives it a little touch of the rustic that I think this place needs. Ha -- I didn't notice before that the cowboy boot fabric covered ottoman was ripped. Yeah, no need to even say that it goes!
@@SarahRichardsonDsgn Hee, my sister is SO impressed I've had replies from you. We're both HUGE fans. I just can't get her to subscribe to your channel (she's kinda tech-phobic) so I have to forward your email alerts to her. One day....
Paint the ceiling! Don't know about the beams -- they'd have to match the color of the lower beams, I think. I'm with you: waay too much pine! Can't wait to see more episodes!!!!
Paint the ceiling white! I also love your idea of keeping the posts and mantel stained wood, but darkening them. The antlers would look good grey, but would also look good bleached white. That is if you can get them into bleach somehow! But knowing you Sarah, if this is the look you want, you will find a way!
I’m living this channel. More like the Design Inc days. Realistic depiction of the Designer/Client give and take. Not the manufactured kind of design shows that are on TV right now. The ones where you just knowwwww the clients have little to no say.
Sand the beams to take out the yellow in the main room, but leave some natural and paint the ceiling! Where to really paint that pine is in the bathroom. Nix the carpet, it's a cabin. Change out the horizontal wood banister and railings for something more contemporary. Hard to say about the antlers, perhaps just removing the mini lampshades and updating the hardware would help. Maybe some skylights too.
I say paint the ceiling, beams and antler chandelier! It will feel light and expansive and the play of shadows and angles with all those beams will be fabulous!
I think you're on the right track to paint most of the pine and leave beams and possibly the window frames. Genius idea to move the wall in the bathroom and create two full baths! I can't wait to see it all come together. Hurry up! :)
Hi Sarah. This is going to look fantastic by the time you have waved your magic wand.... definitely paint and stain everything in whites and greys. The timber looks so dated at the moment. You will still have the 'soul' that timber gives, just with a different dress on! The antlers need to be painted also - wonderful shape. Please keep the vids coming! Love it!
Paint everything! But then knotty pine is not my favourite by far. The chandelier - this might be out there but reindeers have extremely short fur on their antlers - like flocking, so maybe flock parts of it and paint a mix of light grey & white. But the flocking might be enough of a texture to soften them a bit. But if they are hunters they might be offended by such. I’m excited to see what you do!
Bring on the paint! Leaving a little wood will highlight it and make it feel special, rather than just a sea of pine where nothing stands out or adds any interest. Looking forward to see how you can move this to a cool palette !
PAINT ALL THE CEILINGS! 😁 no pining for pine. Please paint the antlers charcoal, or a fun accent color. "Carte blanche!" And that bathtub used to be in the "powder room" prior to a previous reno. Hence the awkward head clearance to the tub in the "master."
I love a surrounding with lots of white, but I also love ballance. I prefer a white ceiling, however then it is necessary to let wood shine through otherwise, With a non painted ceiling the rest of the large room needs to appear light and bright. I vote for a white ceiling
paint for sure and keep the beams wood, but maybe stained so they look less yellowy/orangey. Oh god I am having visions with that center stair of the 60's split level you did years ago with the glass panels around the stairs, would look beautiful here if you can't move the stairs because of budget!
I have a house in Florida that hasn't been touched since 1981. Even the original brown shag is still there and the dark, dark, paneling. I am dying to remodel. My husband doesn't want me to change anything but it's remodeling or the husband who will have to go if he won't change his mind. I think he will cave.
I say paint the ceiling white, leave the beams wood (or a different colour of stain) and paint the antlers a light grey to make them modern! I love a good Demo Day!! PS - What kind of camera do you use to film Design Life?
I think Steve is right, if you are going to paint the ceiling than you should spray so you can cover the knots. But spraying means also spraying the beams unless you are going to cover them up to leave them natural. So, cost wise, spraying the whole ceiling will make sense. Flip a coin on that one. Keeping the vertical beams more natural or with a darker stain with light walls would really open up the space. If the client is looking for more modern, then I don't think the antler chandler is going to work there, just my opinion. I love demolition and putting things back together, looking forward to seeing the Sarah touches on this.
We moved into a church like that. We painted the beams a warm espresso stain and the ceiling disappeared. It looks beautiful and everyone Comments how beautiful it looks.
I'd paint everything diagonal white, and leave everything vertical or horizontal a wood finish of some kind. You're probably going to have some kind of wood floor I would imagine, so just to keep from feeling like you're in a pine box, you need to have some large swathes of white to brighten the space and give the architecture some distinction. Right now you don't really focus on all those cool huge beams, because everything is the same finish. If the pitched ceilings go to white, then their contribution is more about the overall shape of the space, which is what makes them cool, and the beams are more about how cool the wood is, their key feature.
Paint. The. Ceiling. No question about it!! It’s going to be amazing!
Thanks for your support Carmel!!
Paint the ceiling. You know what’s best. I can’t wait to see more videos.
I can't wait to share more updates with you! :)
PAINT THE PINE.... YES YES YES !!!!! Love the idea of darker beams! THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOUR DESIGNS !!!!
Thanks so much for your feedback Jayne!!
So excited about this project.....PAINT

Sarah,
Since you were kind enough to ask......I would definitely paint 🖌 the ceiling .
This would be so exciting to see. 👀
I never cared for wood and wood and more wood everywhere.....less is more.
Whatever you 👩🏻 decide I always love it and get it.
Thank you again Sarah for sharing these projects.👏
What a fantastic decorating education 📓 watching you re-design these areas.
Lovvvve it.....🙋🏼 🇨🇦

Thank you Sarah! We're definitely having fun :)
Paint it all white except for walls
White trim is the bomb 💣
Love everything you do
Paint the ceiling and the chandler and little the beams new flowers light color and absolutely a big shower can't wayt for the grand finale 💞
I loved the white wash you did on the island. But paint solid if you don't want the knots to show. You are brilliant and will figure it out.
Yes paint the ceiling but not the beams. The chandelier would look nice painted gold which would be so glamorous. Just dreaming.
Oh well love you Sarah!!
Paint! I hate a lot of wood myself. Love paint
Do whatever you want, you have the best taste.
I like the idea of keeping some of the original beams and painting the ceiling white!
That's definitely an idea I'm considering!
Definitely agree with your decision on painting.
Paint it all. Will look great.
Can’t wait to see what’s next, this looks like a great house...
Yes! Paint the ceiling!

Yes, paint the ceiling white...and most of the wood. I love the DR chandelier, so please keep it. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I do like the idea of painting the boards and leaving/staining the beams! ❤️ can’t wait to see what you guys come up with
Thanks for your vote, Stéphanie!
Paint paint paint! I’ve seen a room that size with logs, which they lightened it dramatically and it was gorgeous.
That's great to hear, I hope we get the same effect!

Absolutely paint!.. a bit of wood is great...
Sweet!
Yes to paint, please. Your clients’ palette is mine also.
Paint paint and more paint, please!

Paint the Pine, leave some beams, maybe sand and stain them a different colour.
All great ideas Jan, thank you!
Love the "tiara".
Paint that ceiling Sarah!
I think painting the entire ceiling white would be gorgeous! I’m on the fence about painting the chandelier.
Yes, yes paint the ceiling!!! 👍
Paint, paint, paint it all
Yes paint !
Yes! Paint the pine
Paint it all!!

Ooh carte blanche, nice. I like the chandelier, just not the little ‘hide’ looking shades.
Paint! It feels like it’s waaay top heavy!
You definitely left me wanting MORE! 😫
Well that's great, because there is more on the way! :)
YES, hideous yellowing dated pine must go! Paint, like you’ve never painted before!
Thanks for the encouragement!!

PAINT, definitely paint. I say , go into the light!!
Paint the ceiling 🥰
Paint the antlers in whatever metal accent colour you are using (copper, chrome...).
Paint it like you did with your place on the island (water + paint) so you can still see the grain of the wood.
Paint the pine! Paint the pine!
Leave some pine on the ceiling but not all of it and that chandelier would look so amazing in white!
Yes paint the ceiling.
paint for sure and keep the beams wood, but maybe stained so they look less yellowy/orangey. Oh god I am having visions with that center stair of the 60's split level you did years ago with the glass panels around the stairs, would look beautiful here if you can't move the stairs because of budget!
Great ideas!
A white wash painted ceiling would still show the wood but would read less pine.
I like rustic. But everyone of us is different. With Sarah doing it she may pull me all the way over. Lol
1. Paint the ceiling
2. BURN, SET FIRE TO, the antler light fitting
Imogene’s Antlers, A children’s book by David Small.
Yes paint the ceilings
Definitely paint the ceiling.

My husband doesn't want me to change anything but it's remodeling or the husband who will have to go if he won't change his mind. I think he will cave.

PS - What kind of camera do you use to film Design Life?
Thanks for the feedback, Tristan! We use mainly a Sony A7 III, and also a Sony A5000.
My only complaint: when the video ends! I get so wrapped up I want it to go on till the end. Of the project that is😆
That's great to know Catherine! We'll keep the videos coming, don't worry! :)

Does the team live on site since its in a resort area?
No, our team doesn't live on site.
@@SarahRichardsonDsgn Such a shame, it would be fun to be able to live and work in a "resort area".
Paint the ceiling!
We moved into a church like that. We painted the beams a warm espresso stain and the ceiling disappeared. It looks beautiful and everyone Comments how beautiful it looks.
Interesting idea, Kelly! We'll have to explore that option.
I would paint the ceiling and darken the beams.
Can you bleach the pine I am wandering ? I know that oak does look amazing bleached
We'll have to look into that idea!
Bleaching may damage some softer woods like pine.
Paint the ceiling 100%!
Paint the whole ceiling white. Darken the stain on the beams
Paint please!
Paint!
Paint the ceiling and lighten up the other pine. Too much orange.
Paint it all! I hate the wood color. 😬 changing it all in my house also.
I'm excited to see how both of our projects turn out!
Get rid of the antlers and bring a more modern lighting.
Definitely paint the ceiling but leave the antlers as they are
Paint it, it will be great

I vote to enclose the ceiling. It wasn’t a choice, but it’s mine. White paint is ok by me.
Thanks for sharing your ideas, Judith!
Paint it!
I would be pining for pine, however I don't own the place, Sarah's clients do.
