As his panel-making kicked into high gear, Michael experimented with using it to different effects. To accentuate the living area's 9-foot ceiling, he placed panels under the tall six-over-six windows and integrated them with the casing, creating floor-to-ceiling frames that draw the eye upward. To give the dining room and master bedroom a cozier feel, he installed chair railing and extended the paneling horizontally as wainscoting.
