Dear Friends:
Welcome to my blog. I'm trying to find a solution to a couple of empty walls, and I found the answer last night. Here it is:Antique vintage ceiling tiles from a factory made into a picture.
at night with my mason jar solar jar light.My antique ceiling tile 8 x 5 picture. It looks very good on the wall, and I like it better than a bunch of plates, or pictures, its something that I made, its antique, and a conversation piece. How do you like it? tomorrow I will hang it up. Its big and heavy.
I got this tile at a Salvage Place years ago, it sat in the basement for a long time.
A rainy day, I brought it up, got myself some plywood at Lowe's and glued the tile 8 ft. by 5 ft. on it. It took forever, you have to put bricks on top and wait many days for the glue to adhere. This is a large old block of tile, it was the smallest I could find, for the price. Only the gorilla glue works on this tiles, they are very hard to glue, and this was a big piece.
I painted it with one of my favorite Michael's Robin's blue spray paint, (40% coupon), I did prime with a special primer for metal, then, I antiqued a little bit with the antiquing paint, just a bit, and sealed it. You can see its not perfect, but I love it and my bedroom walls are a very very pale antique blue. So I think it will go perfect. I just have to glue a couple of (teeth hooks thingy) and oh la la,
done.
Have a wonderful Thursday,
Martha
