Bad looking, stained, old drop ceilings? Faux Tin ceiling tiles is the perfect solution

Hello everyone! 

On the pictures below you can see the interior of “Pan” restaurant in the heart of Greek-town in Toronto. First picture was made on Wednesday (two days ago), the second on Thursday (yesterday).

 Before  (Wednesday, May 30,2007)                                                                                          

this idea

 After(Thursday,May 31,2007)

Quite a difference, right?  Here how it was done :

We just bought new ceiling tiles from Home Depot (the cheapest ones). Normally we use the old drop tiles but those in the restaurant were in really bad shape and we couldn’t use them .

 Then we glued TalissaDecor’s tin look ceiling tiles on the big 2×4 Home Depot’s tiles with PL 700

(Two TalissaDecor’s tiles on one HomeDepot’s tile . Joint between two tiles we glued with contact cement):

All the grids in the restaurant were sprayed with Copper paint :

 And finally all old tiles were replaced one by one : 

Old crappy chandeliers were also changed and here we are 🙂

Thanks for looking.
