Such Great Heights

As if the rustic, neutral decor in these three interiors wasn't enough to get my heart racing, the drama added by the extra-high ceilings places these spaces a cut above the rest. I particularly like how the owners of the kitchen utilize their vertical space for storage and display. I can't imagine it's easy getting that pink KitchenAid mixer down, but how often do you really use it, anyway? And those windows in the last image... it doesn't even matter what the view is of on the other side. As far as I'm concerned, the windows are the view!

Those rustic beams in that last picture made my heart skip a beat.. well the whole room actually. Love the kitchen storage, although you're right about that kitchen aid mixer and the rest of the goods on those high shelves-dangerous!!

The beams in these rooms are something else! Even in a narrow space, it makes the whole room look extremely large.

Oh I love the first image with the beautiful arched windows it suits the high ceilings perfectly. The brick feature wall against the crisp white of the rest of the walls is a dramatic contrast but really works.
I would never reach the top shelves in the kitchen id need a ladder

Haha--I thought the EXACT same thing about the mixer! And I agree with you, I think the window is the view! Gorgeous photos.

I've been DYING for a pink kitchenaid mixer for years! Everyone knows they're just for show, right? At least it would be in my kitchen (as I rarely cook!).
