Blimey who would have thought there were so many different
types of vaulted ceilings? I have been
working on my interior design assignment and started to look at the space in a
kitchen I’m making observations on…Ina Garten’s beautiful kitchen in her barn
designed by Robert Stillen (look at www.robertstilin.com)
who is a genius in simple functional beauty …and looked on Wikipedia to explore
more about vaulted ceilings (as you can see from the picture below the kitchen
has a vast vaulted ceiling) and found out there are dome, barrel, groin, rib,
fan vaulted ceilings and then goes on to describe Byzantine vaults and domes, Romanesque
, Gothic and Renaissance…..so much to look at and learn and was only seeing if
Ina’s ceiling could be described as a vaulted one!
I do like this kitchen though and love the classic Hamptons style. If I ever achieved such heady heights as an interior designer I think I would like to create spaces that evoked a laid back functional vibe like this. Hay ho….back to learning for now eh!
I bloody love Ina Garten!! Got nearly all her recipe books!
ReplyDeleteOh me too, I watch her programme and its like a comfort blanket. Just made her ginger cake yesterday...yum.
