Even tough I'm not quite sure of the the decorating rules for high ceilings (to tell you the truth, I'm not sure of them for regular ceilings either.), I do have to say that I really like having 10 foot ceilings. It really helps with making the rooms feel bigger. I was also excited about the size of Christmas tree we could have.
There was one thing that I didn't think about though until I started lunch today . . . boy is it fun to toss pizza dough!Pizza Crust* 1 c hot water
* 2 1/4 tsp yeast
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tsp sugar
* 2 T oil
* 3 cups flour
Stir in 1/2 of the flour with the other ingredients, and then knead in the last half. Fold into a mound shape until the dough is smooth. Set aside 20-30 minutes, allowing dough to rise.
Preheat oven to 400
Gently push the air out of the mound of dough after rising is completed. Flatten the outer 2 inches of the mound, forming a flat ring around the mound.
Carefully pick up the dough and use fists to toss the dough out. Gently finish shaping on the pan.
Puncture the dough with a fork to prevent bubbling while baking. Prebake the crust 7-10 minutes. Top and finish baking pizza.

Hey -- I worked at a pizza place that tossed their pizza crust. What fun that was. I still do it at home... sometimes I hit the ceiling. Does that make you want to eat my pizza? LOL
I would like to see you try and hit your ceiling!! I am excited to try your pizza crust. I have been on the hunt for a good easy crust. Even though I am not very good at tossing it in the air. I always end up sticking my hand through it.
Sounds great. Will have to give it a try sometime.
I love high ceilings, one home we lived in had high ceilings and I was emotionally more stable. I KNOW it was the ceilings!
We love our 10 foot ceilings too!
