Our kitchen has an industrial-looking drop ceiling... I understand that this place was a rental for ages, and florescent tube lighting is energy-efficient. And judging by how many broken light fixtures there are in this house, it's possible that the kitchen lighting just didn't stand a chance. Not sure when this ceiling and lights was put up, but it doesn't appear to be original.
I started pulling the panels down pretty quickly after we moved in. And then today we pulled down the metal frames. The ceiling is a good 4 inches higher now, with patchy paint and small holes every few inches. The cool thing is that we can see a green paint near the top of the walls-- possibly the original paint in the kitchen? The color is really pretty! Very exciting, too, because I have been imagining doing green in the kitchen.

| Metal frame coming down... Popcorn ceiling in the kitchen, too. Green paint in the middle seems to be much older than all the other paint. |
