The necessity to repair our condo following hurricane Charley also provided us an opportunity to do some remodeling work. The kitchen originally was lighted with the typical two ceiling fluorescent fixtures recessed behind flat drop-in diffuser panels. I removed the two fixtures and diffuser/grid leaving a
4'x 5' opening in the ceiling 13 inches in height.

Buliding a tray of crown molding,I installed rope light/dimmer for effect. Originally, I planned to paint a sky mural to simulate a skylight. However, after coming across a brochure of the American Tin Ceiling Co., I did a little research on the company website and decided that was for us.

We felt that a tin ceiling would provide a more elegant appearance than my original mural idea. We selected Pattern #2 in Amber Gold Translucent. Installation was easy, and the result was dazzling!

Now, whenever friends or neighbors visit, my wife proudly leads them to the kitchen just to hear the many WOWs!! and compliments. Our once coldly lit kitchen has been transformed into a dramatic, impressive and beautiful feature of our condo. Thank you American Tin Co.

Why are Tin Ceilings so popular today?

Tin Ceilings remind us of a different time in our country's history. Tin Ceilings stir memories of gentler days when elegance and beauty reigned. A slower paced era where style and grace were the watchwords in home decor. Old time victorian homes, formal parlors, farmhouses with wood burning stoves and other historic architecture we've seen in literature and film or remember from our childhood.

It is said that "Everything Old Becomes New Again". It reinvents itself and becomes fashionable again, perhaps because it was so fashionable in the first place. Fashion goes in and out of style as modern ideas are introduced to the market. But the popular styling's of the past always cycle back into modern contemporary culture. The Tin Ceiling exemplifies this concept.
