Wall/Ceiling Installation

Some photos of a wall and ceiling installation we did a couple of weeks ago!

The owners contacted us for this job and had a special request: to use the old tin from the very same building. We happily obliged and supplied the siding from our yard.

The owners are going to use it as a backdrop for a wedding at the end of this month. Isn’t it gorgeous? ๐Ÿ˜

** 12″ red siding and wooden shutters supplied by Handcrafted History. We used old ridgecap for the wainscoting cap and it turned out to be a beautiful accent to the job. **
