Covering radiator pipes in the kitchen

When we had the heating work done, to install the radiator in the south bedroom, we either had to pull up subfloor and clear insulation or have the pipes installed under the kitchen ceiling along the east wall. Steven was hesitant to have the mess that would be created clear the insulation so the pipes were installed under the ceiling. In hind sight we wishes we had done the either as we now had to solve how to conceal the pipes.

Many options were discussed. I installed a wallpaper border on the opposite wall as an option to install also on the cover of the pipes. Steven wasn’t sold on the light color so I painted it the same color as the walls.

Steven went ahead on framed, drywalled, and mudded over the pipes. and I painted the under part the wall color.
