And hey, if anything makes my kitchen look cleaner...I'm all for it : )Katherine Fugithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659629991872936094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078859285288702709.post-51913896060519530612012-03-21T15:25:28.564-05:002012-03-21T15:25:28.564-05:00Oh my gosh, good thing I stumbled upon this blog -...Oh my gosh, good thing I stumbled upon this blog - we've yet to fix the kitchen ceiling after last summers storms. We've got an old drop ceiling too and I'd just like to take the thing out and go with the "exposed" ceiling and paint it white. I'm thinking it will make the kitchen look bigger anyway.Vinniehttp://bdbungalow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078859285288702709.post-54559913633670175862012-03-19T22:08:38.877-05:002012-03-19T22:08:38.877-05:00Thanks Bradley! We started painting it today so......Thanks Bradley! We started painting it today so...fingers crossed! We also had a difficult time finding handles like those in the shower. They seem like they should be the easiest thing to find - they're so simple! The ones in our shower were actually already in the house and the ones over the sink, we got at an antique store. I never found them at any places online, unfortunately. As for the old fittings that are in the wall, you can buy different lengths at most hardware stores as well as ones with different numbers of "splines" so that they will fit nicely with your handles. We were very lucky and found those escutcheons at True Value for like $5 each but if your holes are bigger than that...I see your problem. Man, this was a book. Sorry! But thanks for stopping by!

I'm also loving the bathroom sink its so unique! I'm hoping to find some handles much like the ones you guys installed for the shower but I'm hitting a lot of road blocks trying to fit the new handles on the old fittings in the wall and finding the plates of the correct size and shape to cover the holes.Bradley @Ittybittybungalowhttp://www.ittybittybungalow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078859285288702709.post-77010968264400899962012-03-18T16:27:33.753-05:002012-03-18T16:27:33.753-05:00Thanks, Christine!

Also, I really want to use a spray gun for this because painting over your head just...well, it sucks.Katherine Fugithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659629991872936094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078859285288702709.post-33461171345899090062012-03-17T22:14:47.107-05:002012-03-17T22:14:47.107-05:00Ooh, this will make such an enormous difference, I...Ooh, this will make such an enormous difference, I can't wait to see it! And god, yes, the plaster dust. It's horrible. We did some major replastering last year and I swear, it was an absolute dust explosion.<br /><br />Are you planning on using a spray gun? If not, I'd recommend it! It'll go 1000x faster and this is just the type of job that's suited to it.Christinehttp://designcatharsis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078859285288702709.post-65199612349220766182012-03-17T14:10:07.787-05:002012-03-17T14:10:07.787-05:00Yeah, me too Reuben!
