Oh..Brenda... My tin ceiling was trashy by virtue of it's codition.. rather than style.. and I got to raise it up 4 feet taller.. than the low 8 foot ceiling height convention in effect... they used the 4' air pocket for a poor insulation pocket for the very hot roof.. above .. I ran batt insulation between the joists.. and across underneath... hung a metal framork.. with the same slope of the roof above.. and installed a new plaster ceiling on it.. I could have then run tin again... but enough already.. time to develop a garden..as there wasn't enough older detailing to accent this.. I know you understand trashy tin... as you replaced yours..
I 've run tin for clients..and the available tin is just like to the low-mid range tin available then.. but it does continue an old look very well... sorry to fire you up there...
