The term you're looking for may be coffered ceilings. Steady, visible progress. Congratulations to you and the team that's blasting through the challenges to make your vision for the gallery library a reality.
For the ceiling above the gallery, I think a coffered arch with a chandelier in the middle would be perfect. The arch would reflect the design of the chapel, while the coffered ceiling would continue the theme of the lower level.
Coffered ceiling is the correct term to describe what Billy is doing under the gallery walkways. I def agree continuity between lower & upper ceiling would look best
I understand your idea for the library to be a more elegant setting, but sunlight wreaks havoc on furniture and books. I would think a glass ceiling would require a great deal of maintenance as well. I like the exposed beams, they are elegant in themselves.
A coffer ceiling on the ground floor and a rustic ceiling on the top floor will look beautiful. The rustic ceiling is more in keeping with the convent's architectural style and a better archival choice. It's also better for the budget since you still have tons of renovation projects left at the convent.
Billy I truly understand that you want to get everything done and dusted but nobody can go on indefinetly, so please rest at some point. You have a family to think of to. It will get finished with help from others. Take care all of you.
Billy, the convent is coming along nicely. We understand that you want to get everything done but nobody can go on without breaks, so please rest at some point, you're looking quite tired. Please take care, for your family's sake
I agree with everyone Billy,you have looked so exhausted for some time now. You will never get back the time you should be spending with your lovely family.We don't want to see you ending up in I'll health.❤
Hi Billy I watch a few of you guys in France restoring the chateus. You need to watch some of Dan's ideas for saving time on Escape to Rural France. He does most of it by himself. He tightens the beams with straps, then cuts them all at the same time. then uses the lifter? to take them all up to the top at the same time. He already has the steel installed, so all he has to do is take all the beams he's already cut from the straps and place them.on and in the metal and move each one to its spot and screw in. You'll see what I'm talking about if you watch some of his latest. this way you don't have to go up and down the stairs with the beams...just one time. I love ya'll
Nooo. Not glass ceiling. . Leave like kitchen or like what your planning to do underneath the walkway. Hang a large chandelier in the middle, it will be amazing hanging from the middle.. Awesome job. .
You look tired Billy. Even with your lift that was hard work. Have a look at Dans video of flooring and noggins. He really streamlined the process at the end👏👏❤❤
I think you're talking about a coffered ceiling, yes? Anyway, you look exhausted, Billy. Please take care and get rest. That's what Sunday's (and Saturdays for most people) are for. It's going to look grand, I'm sure! 🤩
I read some of these comments and I agree. You need to take a little time for yourself. Take the weekend and relax. Monday will get there soon enough. however, the project is coming along nicely. Take your time. You probably have a goal in mind for completion but if you don’t quite make that goal, you know it’s OK.
@@ThePethericks Have you decided on how you'll organize the library and the types of books that you want? I have some copies of the Anne of Green Gables and Little House on the Prairies sets from the 1960's that I might be able to send your way (if I don't get outvoted by my daughters).
I would suggest a coffered ceiling with a ginormous chandelier in the center? I can't wait to see you fit in those gorgeous bookcases and panels. It is going to be absolutely fabulous!
There is another decorative technique for a beamed ceiling. Painted and stenciled ceiling beams are a beautiful remnant of the past. They are rare because over the years buildings are renovated and these ceilings are lost. They are found in very old great houses and castles (chateaus). Perhaps, Michael could be called upon for research. Michael can also create stencil patterns, color choices, etc.. It is also possible for more than one person to do the painting, since stencils are used. Michael can add creative freehand painting to the overall design, if he chooses. This technique could possibly give the convent a unique artistic flair that harkens back to a much older time. Just a thought!
A glass ceiling might affect the objects you place in the room I.e. fading of books, samples of wallpapers etc. Rustic might clash against the elegance of the beautiful squares of the lower ceiling. I don’t know the right answer but it is something to think about. You are doing a phenomenal job and I know you will have the perfect solution. You should be proud of yourself, your team and the progress you have made. Thank you for letting us watch and inspiring us.
The sections you have completed already block enough light to see how beautifully light will play in the space. The gallery idea was inspired. I wonder how many followers already intend to visit this very unuque convent in the furture. For a place with yet a purpose, it may well be an international magnet.
A coffered ceiling would be perfect and beautiful for a library. If you decide to do that type of ceiling it is going to be awesome to watch it being built. The rustic ceiling in the kitchen is also still beautiful and may be more in keeping with the humbler air of the Convent. Either choice will be wonderful and fantastic to watch it being created. The work you all do is amazing.
I remember standing on the floor joists of my new extension some five years ago and thinking that soon this would be a real room. I’m sitting there now. Soon you’ll have your library. Well done.
To protect the interior of the Library of the sunlights, you can put a specific blind in the windows eventually. They are specially design for this, they are discrete (you have all the natural light in the room but the damage created by sun is blocked outside, with this kind of shade. It's fantastic. Your beautiful decor won't be ruined by them also.
Have Michael paint your ceiling. Just an idea. That would be so awesome! He's probably pretty busy though. Great progress and thanks for explaining the coffered trim. Its going to look so amazing!
Not only is direct sunlight terrible for books, they also need to be kept at a regulated temperature, having a glass ceiling through from the roof would make that a nightmare. A fake however, some cool painted glass panels with led's behind them... pretty and practical
For the definitive balustrade I would still opt for wrought iron rather than the wood similar to the staircase. I think it will look much lighter and brighter
Billy, could you please show from outside of building where everything is - the kitchen, library etc. Put it in a better perspective. Thanks from Canada.
A glass ceiling sounds great. But given the negatives of direct sunlight on books and the possibility of water leaks, what about a large backlit stained glass dome? Think Titanic's grand staircase dome.
Billy, I don’t know where Budo and Tracy live at French Farmhouse Diaries, but he is a superbly, talented carpenter. Attention to detail! Maybe he can make you some windows.
The ceiling will be beautiful! The wooden design I believe is called a "coffered ceiling." It will be absolutely amazing. Praying all continues to go well!
@@ThePethericksit looks like child’s play when you are working but your body will rebel if you don’t look after it. What you do in your 30’s comes back to bite you in the butt in your 60’s. Having said that, it is hard to sit on energy and passion.🙏❤️
Wow! Bonus Pethericks on a Sunday. It's like winning the lottery, all be it a small jackpot. Thank you Billy; you're the hardest working man in the convent restauration business. Crack On!
Love the idea for the underside of the walkway. The bookcases need to be the stars of the room a matching coffered ceiling above would tie everything together. The library need a more sophisticated look that exposed beams.
I can now understand how the gallery will work looking up. The floor studs (noggins?) really make the vision start to take shape. Lovely that you are spending your Sunday at work.
The larger pieces of wood are known as floor joists and the cross braces or short pieces of wood are noggins in the UK (......and France if you were originally born in the UK!)!?!
If you're installing ornate coffered ceiling detail under the gallery, a rustic ceiling above similar to the kitchen will not match in style. You don't have to have them match each other but they probably should be of a similar style. You might consider UV protective glass for a glass ceiliing & maybe for the windows too depending on the quantity, quality, age & value of the books you're planning for the collection.
So cool Billy! I was thinking about the fireplace that you found. I wonder if at some time there was a big dormitory that a bunch of nuns used at that end of the convent. It would make it a warm big room with beds. Interesting! It is all coming together!
I learned so much by watching the video today, the camera angles and the way you put in the flooring makes it so I can now picture your library vision.... it's gonna be a glorious room!!!
Welcome, from a "longer" time viewer. I remember before any renovation on the convent began. I hope you are able to watch a couple of the videos. The total transformation is astonishing! Blessings.
A stained glass, leadlight skylight rectangle panel would look ethereal in the library. The stained glass would protect the books from direct sunlight and it could be lit from above in the evenings. Worth looking into
Rustic ceilings abound at the convent as I'm sure more will be uncovered & restored. But I believe having continuity between the upper & lower ceilings will work best in a specially fitted out space like the library. A grand coffered ceiling above the entire space would be extremely beautiful when looked at from the ground level especially as it would be framed by a matching walkway ceiling
Harmony and repeating types of architecture at the convent is the key to succeed. Those coffered ceilings are always gorgeous. The trick to keep in mind is to repeat them somewhere in the convent. Do you know if that kind of ceiling exist in that time in more luxurious house? It's going to be beautiful 💝
Thank you for bringing us a video today Billy. It's getting so very exciting. Still want to know if you finished the On suit at the chateau. And; if we can see it.
I've mentioned this before I think but frosted glass with fluoro lighting behind it would probably work as you'd have your original external roof with a faux window square in the centre of the room. No sun on the articles in the room and you retain the sense of elevation, light and sky. This is often used on walls where a window to the exterior is impossible. A simple glass decoration could look fantastic.
I feel as though the glass-glare would not bode well for actual library reading. Think of all that shimmers in fancy kitchens with countertops and appliances. Adding glass to a library would disrupt book reading. Agree with some on UV window blocking.
Hi. I hope you have a great start of the summer. I been following you for years and I am glad to be able to visit the area where you live this week. After watching all he program this winter and all the years before, we look forward to see the small cities and the markets. We will not interrupt you, but I have tried to send some message’s before to know if you were going to rent out rooms in the nun closeted. We are so tired of the darkness and the snow in the winter, so we are looking for a place we’re my wife and I can stay for periods of the year. Norway can be cold and dark in the winter. We wish you all a he best, and look forward to visit France
How about dark red between the beams for the top ceiling and the beams in a contrasting colour? Sort of Tudor banqueting hall style. Whatever you do it will look great, Billy. As always you are an inspiration!
it wil be amazing! Personally, I think you could do another coffered ceiling upstairs to complete the library look, and not bring in glass into it... also, books don't much like a lot of light and there's already loads of windows to make the space nice and bright. :)
That little riding lift I have no idea what it’s called but when I think back that’s probably the best money you’ve ever spent!!! Everything is turning out beautiful and your style is my style but that lift has been a game changer. I was excited about the kitchen and I love looking at it and still pictures still, then I was excited over the Organ and love the little Christmas concert with the candles and I didn’t think I’d be as excited about the library but once I saw your vision which again is my style I’m excited about the library now. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
The coffers are consistent with your library furniture. I would do coffers above also. They could be larger , or different proportions up there, as long as the elements match. Imagine a large round coffer on the upper ceiling, with "triangles" that curve around the center circle to fill out the square. A painted partially cloudy sky painting in the round inner ceiling of the circle. All of the moldings of the coffers should be the same as the ones below the balcony

Regarding a glass ceiling... bear in mind that direct sunlight is deadly to books!
that as my first reaction, even though it sounds amazing
So true!
A glass ceiling would be beneath the 3rd floor.
A glass ceiling would be problematic for future cleaning and maintenance and if any repairs are needed to areas in close proximity!?!
Not to forget the greenhouse effect, with the sun warming up the room
The term you're looking for may be coffered ceilings. Steady, visible progress. Congratulations to you and the team that's blasting through the challenges to make your vision for the gallery library a reality.
Or "Tray ceilings"
Brilliant to create coffered ceilings in the library! They'll look fantastic!
Coffered ceilings are different than tray ceilings
For the ceiling above the gallery, I think a coffered arch with a chandelier in the middle would be perfect. The arch would reflect the design of the chapel, while the coffered ceiling would continue the theme of the lower level.
Brilliant idea ✌️

Billy you need to rest and spend Sundays with your family . Please take care of you .
I agree weekends should be family time. I know you are payed by content, but don’t fall into that trap.
I agree with everyone Billy,you have looked so exhausted for some time now. You will never get back the time you should be spending with your lovely family.We don't want to see you ending up in I'll health.❤
Yup! That is a coffered ceiling…absolutely the most beautiful ceiling in grand old mansions etc!! Definitely perfect for a library !!!❤

We have to be careful for direct sunlight on the books Billy.......
@ThePethericks ❤
The proportions of that gallery walk will be so comfortable.
Billy get some rest‼️
I want to see you building this beautiful library and if your health fails, this will delay delay delay‼️
You are loved‼️🙏🏻
Agree!!!
I think you're talking about a coffered ceiling, yes? Anyway, you look exhausted, Billy. Please take care and get rest. That's what Sunday's (and Saturdays for most people) are for. It's going to look grand, I'm sure! 🤩
Billy, please be careful. You're getting tired and that's when accidents happen!
Agree!
Yes Billy, take some time to your self and with your cutest and lovable Ernest and Archie and beautiful Gwendolyn! Do take a weekend off!
I was just thinking, Billy, you look tired or a bit hungover? 😊

Sunlight can damage book bindings. Rest and have a joyful evening.
Most big libraries and art galleries use UV blocking glass.
I'd imagine Billy would install grand velvety curtains in such library as well.
Well done Billy get some rest .👍👏👏👏🤩
Hopefully, you decide to mimic the kitchen ceiling. It would unify the two rooms and maintain the age of the convent.

i was thinking of this after i mentioned it! i’ve since had a fantastic idea of keeping everything rustic, without clashing different styles…

Keep the OG ceiling please!!! It’s a wonderful feature and looks amazing in the kitchen. The continuity would be splendid
I can't wait,I have missed seeing them as well as your beautiful wife.❤
A coffered ceiling will look so beautiful and fitting, Billy. I cant believe the progress you all have made!
I remember standing on the floor joists of my new extension some five years ago and thinking that soon this would be a real room. I’m sitting there now. Soon you’ll have your library. Well done.
A coffered ceiling. Very appropriate for a library!
Please be careful Billy!! My heart is in my mouth everytime you step up onto the lift railings!!
Pls don't work there alone.
You must be excited! Well done it looks Amazing
Just like the kitchen, I am excited for the library. I really enjoy your channel, Billy. Thank you.
called a coffered ceiling
Fantastic progress Billy, now enjoy your evening with Gwendoline and the boys 😊

Not only is direct sunlight terrible for books, they also need to be kept at a regulated temperature, having a glass ceiling through from the roof would make that a nightmare.
A fake however, some cool painted glass panels with led's behind them... pretty and practical
Maybe stained glass with blacklighting😊
So thrilling for you! Thank you for sharing this awesome adventure and being so respectful of the history of the convent. Blessings as you continue…
For the definitive balustrade I would still opt for wrought iron rather than the wood similar to the staircase. I think it will look much lighter and brighter
Could do both. A gold/brass painted finish and the wood. Matches the finishes in the kitchen. Doesn't have to be too much of it.
All that work for accurate measurements before make the work easier now. Looks great, such a great accomplishment.
Hi Billy- I love the ceiling lighting for the library. :D It will make the room look so much bigger. See you tomorrow :D
Nice optical illusion in the beginning screen shot. Looks like you have a glass floor reflecting the upper window in the open area.
I thought that too!
I saw that and then realized what Inwas actually looking at.
Billy, could you please show from outside of building where everything is - the kitchen, library etc. Put it in a better perspective. Thanks from Canada.
I think the rustic beams to match the kitchen is fine. Simplest is often the most elegant.
Great work Billy!😊🍻🇬🇧

It's looking awesome Billy.
