gorgeous, i can see what you are excited!!!!!

It's not ridiculously to get hyped up over that - it's gorgeous!

Oh my, that is stunning! You are going to get a crick in your neck staring at that (so will your friends and family) Just beautiful....

ummmm. . .I'd be sleeping. . . on the floor. . . in the kitchen. . . tonight!!

Wow..I'd be excited too!

Swoon! Absolutely beautiful. My kitchen plan just changed for the better! Not to bring up things I know too little about, but shouldn't it be drywall under the copper instead of plywood? I thought I read that International Building Code requires 1/2"-5/8" drywall on ceilings, even if there's another surface facing it (fire regulations or something). Perhaps not every jurisdiction uses IBC code? What I read said 5/8" is required fire protection if there is living space above. (*ducking for brining up stuff I'm not sure about*)

Your ceiling is amazing! Fun and beautiful!

I get it...every little step forward breathes new hope and excitement. The littlest things make me happy these days.

Love those tin ceilings... I'd be excited too. Heck, I squealed to see a stud wall completed in a bedroom the other day! A copper ceiling would send me to the moon, Alice!

Very lovely, indeed!

Very exciting! Good for you.

thanks everyone!

mizinformation, thanks for bringing that question up - i appreciate it! i spoke with the contractor. he said it is not an issue because the plywood is adhered to a plaster ceiling and because there is nothing directly above our kitchen, which i didn't even mention to him. i hope he is being straight with me because i really like him and so far, he's been amazing.

Hi Jane,

That copper looks gorgeous! Do you mind posting what brand/where you got it? I'm trying to decide on a backsplash for my kitchen, and our houses are about the same time period.

Thanks!
Lee

Beautiful!

hi,

sorry this took so long! my head is swimming with this renovation, but in a good way! :) the ceiling is from american tin ceiling. you can google them. they were extremely professional and easy to deal with. i'd recommend them!

jane

p.s. my honed carrera counters are being installed today! woo hoo!

Love it! Can't wait to see the finished product. You must be so excited!!

Moar pictures please!

WOW!!!! STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!

Jane, that ceiling is going to be amazing. Please post more pictures. We are doing the same thing,the plywood is up,and we'll probably choose same style panels from American Tin Ceilings. I just can't decide which color. Good luck with the remainder of your remodel.

We have a copper ceiling in our DR.. in a new build.. very happy with it!

Marciab10, that is gorgeous! Is the room particularly loud? I heard that acoustics aren't good with the metal, so we won't be putting it in the laundry room, just the kitchen and adjoining mudroom.

Marcia. Gorgeous. More details please.

way cool - as my grand nephews would say!

Details? like where we purchased? I don't remember, but could look up. I'm pretty sure we ordered it somewhere online. ( We built 3 years ago) It is a large recessed area that is over the table area.

We spent years planning our house, and I have to say I Love the way the copper ceiling looks!

Noisy.. no! Not at all! We have a travertine/wood floor. pic below, from when were were building.. you can see the copper trim against the wall! It is next to a large foyer which is all hardwood. Only noisy when I have 25 for dinner!
