I am thrilled that we did this and saved money. We did not have to hire any contractors, because this was simple to do. Now the added feature makes the room look more vibrant, and I love the gold finish on the products. The basement ceiling ideas came to me from an online site. That is where I first saw the tin tiles and how easy they could be installed. We had them up quickly and now we love it. They make us feel like we are in a high end hotel and that is just fantastic. We always get a lot of compliments on them.
