” The placement of the furr down is dictated by the location of the HVAC return grill, but could be considerably higher if the ceiling were as high as you suggest. “

Our old house had 10.5 foot ceilings. When we bought another house with 8 foot ceilings, I wasn’t happy at all. The solution was conversion to cathedral ceiling in the old parts of the house, and 12 feet in the new parts. Our furniture and art just aren’t proportioned to fit in a little shoe box.
