Roman Circle is Just White For Job!

Design Doc Mike wanted to keep the circle motif going from the !930s Atlantic City boardwalkesque, Skee Ball centric gameroom to the NYC Empire Dinerish, Snack Bar kitchen. He chose Ceilume's Roman Circle  design in white this time(straight out of the box), for ceiling, again in combination with their Polyline (in black, sprayed glossy), and edged with Armstrong's #271 (the smoothest MD could find of their styles), roller painted high gloss black.

Coming Next:See how nine circles change to one for Becca's Big Apple Basement, a subterranean NYC penthouse room!??

Ceiling Tile To Art File.

MD The Design Doctor was recently with challenged with doctoring up a basement ceiling that had to be covered with ceiling tiles to provide easy access to electrical wires and gas lines for the home owners.

Doc Dodson diagnosed the situation and prescribed a new 'drug', a relatively new ceiling tile product made in California called Ceilume in combination with the more familiar Armstrong product.

Ceilume is a wonderful product, super easy to install, paintable, and many are made of recycled raw materials!  They come in great variety of super cool designs and colors and add an almost instantaneous
hip and/or traditional design solution when ceiling tiles are a must, or even when they are not!


MD had a blast spray and brush painting them and using them straight out of the box, he chose their Roman Circle, Polyline, and Regency panel designs.
Ceilume's Roman Circle has 9 circles, guess how many balls you get per Skee Ball play!?
MD brush painted the Roman Circle tiles silver to match the curved line graphics on the walls and gave the flanking, matte black, Polyline panels a spray of clear gloss coat for added shine.

Coming Next: see how 9 circles transition to 1 big circle across the threshold of 4 full light, oak framed, pocket doors leading into the NYC Empire Diner inspired, Snakc Bar room.........

"Good design and good health".
