(SnapLock #13 - Rustic Antique Copper)

After over a year of looking, my husband and I bought our home summer '04. A few steps from our family room was a large room clearly meant to be a 'formal living room' with absolutely nothing in it. Having grown up in homes with plastic covers over 'formal living room' furniture, we both agreed there was a better use for this space. Our dream of the 'English pub room' developed. Two months after our son was born, we started construction. Luckily, he slept through air compressors, chop saws, and orbital sanders!

Three months later, our ceiling was complete. We agonized over lighting, but finally decided to install sconces that provided muted up-lighting and accented the tin ceiling beautifully. Our friends and family rave about the room, and we absolutely love it! I once asked my husband. "What would you do if we sold this house and the buyer agreed to our asking price with the condition that we rip down that awful tin ceiling?" I can't repeat exactly what he said, but suffice to say the answer was - NO!

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.
