We have been busy trying to figure out what we are planning for each room when it comes to wall coverings. We have a ton of antique tin that we are trying to use but the catch is you have to figure out how to make it work in whatever room you decide to put it because there is only a certain amount and you can not get more. ( in most cases)
 |
| Down the hallway to the back door we have put up wood to go behind the tin we will be putting up. The wood gives something for the tin to hold onto better than drywall would. but we have to put the wood pieces up and decide for sure where the tin will go before we can drywall up next to it. |
 |
| This is the tin that we were originally thinking that we were going to put down the hallway as a wainscoting. |
 |
| We have enough for it so that was a big part in our choice. |
 |
| Originally we believe that the pattern had three pieces that went together. We have enough of the three pieces to go down the hall. We will have a ton of the crown piece left over to use in another room too. |
 |
| So we decided to go for it and use all three pieces for a floor to ceiling tin down the hallway. Might as well!! |
 |
| There will be tin on the ceiling in the library room too. Chris was able to get some of the wood on the ceiling but we have to make another trip to buy some more. We were able to buy the wood on sale for 15% off the last trip cost of $150. |
 |
| This is the wall in the kitchen that Chris was able to get done. We are lacking 16 pieces to finish the top row but the person that we bought this from may be able to get more. Keeper's Antique Mall in Harrisonville MO is looking for some more for us!!! |
 |
| This is what it looks like on the wall. I am not sure how I feel about the colors of it. The original thought was to paint it but now I kind of like it like this..... |
