Her first step was to take down all the nonstructural beams in the 8-foot ceiling and vault it to the roofline, expanding the space to 13 feet at its peak and exposing hidden upper windows to make the room feel twice as big. A low-framed ceiling cut off transom windows. Marie turned a low structural beam into a decorative asset. She clad it with bleached white oak planks and added beams branching off either end to make it look like an intentional part of the design....

“I now own two of these little space heaters. They’re not obtrusive, easily fit into a corner when not in use, and best of all, they work really well to heat up a space,” wrote a five-star reviewer who used their heater on their porch. “This little heater might be small in size, but it does an awesome job warming a larger room,” shared a different shopper. They successfully used the heater to warm a 16 x 14-foot room, adding, “I love the automatic temperature sensor on the unit that shuts it off when your room reaches the desired temperature....
