#10 Antique Burgundy
Our project is the basement of a 100 yr old brownstone in Baltimore city. We took a room that was finished in 1940's knotty pine & a cement floor turned it into a lower family room/computer room. The rear room of the basement was the original kitchen that is now a laundry room/workbench that room has an oroginal tin ceiling but was painted about 30 times so it
looks "rough". Thats where we had the idea to use tin in our new room.


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.
