We stepped out the wainscot at each corner of the room for better articulation / a richer look.
The ceiling was to be coffered as well. A central ''box'' was made to support the three chandeliers and hide the wiring.
All the chairs were removed from the room and the dining table shifted in order to take the wide angle shot. I liked making this client happy but standing on a ladder all day, working on the ceiling is neck breaking work and coping inside miters on the walnut crown was laborious as well. The saving grace was that this client was willing to pay handsomely for our services.
