How do I modify the regular ceiling to meet the new vaulted one?
We recently added an A frame addition to the front of our home it creates a beautiful 16 ft vaulted ceiling and we are looking for a way to modify the the adjoining living room ceiling from the attic space. I’ve seen a few but can’t think of the name they called it, but it is stepped up in sections and then levels out flat. Do you have any suggestions?

Do you mean a Trey ceiling? That would be beautiful. What is there now?
A tray ceiling. You'll need to.lower the perimeter of the ceiling frame it in with ceiling in center left the orig height. Drywall, add moldings.
Kelli suggestion is making a faux trey ceiling. Would work if you have the ceiling height to play with. To modify you current ceiling you would need a structural engineer and contractor to determine if and how it can be done. Can't just remove joists since they hold the walls upright, square, plumb, and level.
Agree with William, before even attempting anything contact a structural engineer. They are ultimately the only ones who can verify any changes to existing or added structural features.
