The wood cladding material in the ceiling is a material from Resysta that combines rice husks, salt and mineral oil for a high-density, low-maintenance moisture- and fade-resistant finish.

By Design Moe Kitchen & Bath. This was in an interesting kitchen where the ceiling design idea came from an old image that the homeowner had. The design and construction team did a lot of head scratching to give the client the exact design that she had in mind. It was quite a challenge putting together all of the cabinetry and matching molding pieces on several plains.

It's Time to Tint!
