@Oznell  I love this house, ceilings and all! I love the light fixtures, furniture, use of blue and white, wood, cabinets, the ceilings, ... beautiful

No to the ceilings and the chandaliers.  Love the furnishings and the green brick.  Nix to the bathroom.  Love the kitchen/dining room.  My brother in law's home is Tudor but it is not to my taste.

Hey, @Desert Lily ,  looks so far like you and I are the only ones who embrace both ceilings, among other things, wholeheartedly!  Nice to be in your company.

Shows how I don't know the "home forum" regulars as much as I think I do--  I thought there might be more people who would be partial to that well-preserved, original, polychrome living room ceiling, and the way that it interacts with the rest of the room.

Interesting, as always!

@Oznell I think the first ceiling is beautiful.  I could not bear to paint it.  The carved wood is so lovely but the drawing/designs in between the panels are lovely.  It would kill me to hide that craftsmanship.  I hate the chandelier and would never have installed it.  It takes away from the ceiling.  I'm sure there is more than enough light in the room which would cast a soft light toward the ceiling for a romantic look.

So I guess I am like you being in the minority.

I don't like the first ceiling, too dark for me.  I do love the painted over ceiling and blue kitchen!  Thanks for sharing these pictures.

I like everything about this home.  For me, I think I would get tired of the wooden ceiling over time.  

The rest of the home is beautiful.  

Enjoyed looking at these photos.

Not at all!  I am finally here and love both ceilings.  The grand parents that lived next door had several painted tin ceilings!  One bedroom even had a partly tin ceiling when the others didn't  A rock house from the 1930's, the closets were tiny!

I am not fond of tertiary color kitchens.  My mother had one in the beautiful home my dad built in 1960.  The kitchen was aqua.  I hated melamine dishes, especially wen you tried to cut on it!

Tertiary colors for those not used to color.

@Oznell   I have always loved English Tudor style and that ceiling is just gorgeous. The decor of that room is a little too eclectic for me. I like the blue upholstery, but those green nesting tables clash.

   I always prefer natural wood not painted, but the white painted

ceiling is pretty.

   Beautiful house and I love that carved door and arched doorways.

@Oznell  Your "Memorable Ceilings"  reminded me of this photo of the Cloisters of Gloucester Cathedral - the earliest surviving fan vaults, having been designed between 1351 and 1377, by Thomas de Canterbury.

Love, love, love the blue kitchen.  That shade of blue is so cheerful.  And that tiled bathroom, to die for.  I wonder what the acoustics are in that bathroom if you like to sing in the shower, lol.  The ornate ceiling, meh, can take or leave it.  It's a bit oppressive.  Much prefer the white painted ornate ceiling.
