Did you hire a professional for this project?: No

Tips: 1.) I recommend having a vacuum cleaner handy when cutting the crown moulding. Because it's styrofoam, cutting it makes a bit of a mess. I cut it with a 10" compound mitre saw, and the little bits of foam went everywhere. Vacuuming after every other cut helped it stay contained. 2.) The styrofoam is very susceptible to dents and dings, so I'd recommend cutting it as close to the installation site as possible. 3.) The ceiling tiles are INCREDIBLY easy to work with, and cuts well with a pair of scissors. Just measure twice and take your time!

Describe Your Project: I wanted to spruce up the bathroom ceiling of a small (44 square ft) bathroom in my Victorian house, and decided on glue-up decorative ceiling tiles and foam moulding, so I could install it myself. Project (including painting, Benjamin Moore's "Gentleman's Gray") took a weekend. Love the results!

Would You Recommend This Project To A Friend And Why?: Absolutely. These are the ultimate products for DIY-ers who want to transform the look of a room without the hassle and expense of hiring a contractor and sinking oodles of money into materials.

How Was Your Experience With Our Company And Why?: Great! One of the lengths of crown was damaged during shipping and the company offered to credit me the charge for that piece, which I was grateful for. Of course that meant that I had to be REALLY careful with my cuts, because I had no contingency, but it all worked out. Very pleased with the results!
