I second the idea of making sure that the wood is changed thoroughly before attempting to paint. When painting our kitchen's ceiling beams, I found that the oils in the Douglas fir kept seeping through the primer, so I ended up having to redo it with bonding primer, which took much better to the rough-hewn wood. We had to go to a specialty paint store for the bonding primer, as the major home improvement chains don't carry it. Good luck! How Do I Paint Rough-Hewn Cedar?

Been there!

The best option, I'd say, would be to find someone who is GREAT at drywall/plastering. It basically involves using a broad roll of self-adhesive drywall mesh 'tape' much like the one used to cover drywall screws/seams, only it's on a 4-foot roll. It's applied and troweled over (skim coated) with a mix of joint compound and plaster. Good luck! Apartment Therapy Boston \| Good Questions: Getting Rid of Textured Ceilings?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the idea! I've been toying with the idea of this for a while now, especially after reading about all the hidden, non-negotiable fees ( http://www.amazon.com/Gotcha-Capitalism-Hidden-Every-Day/dp/0345496132 ) and how ridiculous our 24-hour-in-contact society has gotten.

Wonderfully creative and a true design inspiration — thanks for sharing! Incidentally, I currently have a bathtub in my living room, but it was not intentional, nor is it as well executed at Patrick's.

There is no saving the spot. It's selfish and uncalled for. It's a public street and that's that. I've seen this done only in certain neighborhoods, such as Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, but overall it's UNACCEPTABLE.

I've seen a friend do this on a concrete path with acrylic blocks and small LED lights, which would solve the heat issue, and save energy. Really cool-looking. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Look! Recessed Floor Lighting Flag this comment	1/13/09 2:53 PM
