Mrs. Howard used high gloss treatment on this ceiling to make this room appear taller than it actually is and it looks fabulous! Here is what she said about this space, "We did a high lacquered ceiling in my living room in Jacksonville. It creates a beautiful reflection by candlelight and makes the rather low ceiling seem much higher than it actually is. "
