This might be the easiest redo out there. Ceiling tiles are abundant on ebay and very inexpensive. They usually are in rough shape, having been torn out of a building and stacked in a pile for who knows how long.
Most of that old paint will scrub off. Next, apply a spray primer, after the primer dries, apply your choice of spray paint. I added rub on decals from a hobby store to the tile on the bottom left. If you are artistic enough, you can paint your own designs. I am not. They are cute in a kitchen or bathroom. The nail holes are good to thread ribbon, chord or twine through, giving you a ready made hanger.
In the midwest these are more plentiful. The next time you enter an old building, look up! Many of these ceilings are still in tact for us to enjoy. It sure beats a stucco ceiling.
Enjoyed the project?
