There’s only one way to say this: The ceiling in our kitchen was ugly. So we
came up with the idea of replacing it with a tin-like ceiling.

| Plywood helped make the product easy to adhere to it |
Today there are products that resemble old fashioned tin ceilings at a
fraction of the cost. That’s what we used. We chose white because our kitchen
is small and we wanted to give it a more airy feel, but they also make the
“tin” tiles in a variety of colors.
During the project we realized that our ugly ceiling actually was drywall.
So we removed it and realized why they dry-walled over the original plaster
ceiling. There was a gaping hole above the sink!
It took some work leveling out the ceiling – our house is almost 80 years old, so things shift – but after I got the plywood secured to the floor joists, I put up the ceiling. It was as easy as using glue and nails. It looks great, and we love it.

The molding is still a work in progress, but I have a feeling we’ll be
changing the kitchen soon, anyway. Stay tuned.
