New bathroom ceiling continued!

I forgot perhaps the most Important thing!! The estimated cost of the copper tiles was just under $400.00 Yes, you read that right, it should be gold plated for that! The cost of the tile wallpaper was $22.00 yes, you read that right! I had the paint. So I don't really consider that an expense to this project but if you insisted I could find out the cost!! Soooo love when I can fix something I LOVE For so little!

New bathroom ceiling!

Ever since I put Venetian plaster on my bathroom walls, I have wanted to put the copper ceiling tiles as well. I was completely infatuated with the look and what I thought would b easy. Then I priced it!! Wow! I had a good friend with me and she was surprised I was even considering it. She suggested I get the wallpaper that looked like ceiling tiles. What a great idea!

Since I hung wallpaper professionally for several years I wasn't afraid of it in the least! (Granted I am a few years older!) and I already had the copper paint from another project. It was the Martha Stewart metallic paint. I thought it had way too much fuchsia in it so had The Home Depot make it match the copper tiles. Which I felt they did really well.

I did let it dry several days before I painted just to be sure-now my age and capabilities had NOTHING to do with this! Lol! I restained all the crown molding(I had removed it for the project) put a fresh coat of Deft on it and I was good to go. It was worse for wear! The molding had been up almost 35 years in the hall bathroom. 3 kids with daily showers had completely ruined the finish.

It's shown here along with my quilted shower curtain. I love how it turned out and am considering it for my kitchen ceiling as well
