In the thread on Dana Joy's house tour, commenter Kerry said, "I loved everything, including the wonderful ceilings..Do you have any suggestions on where to look for how to do this? I live in a vintage apartment with some nice period details, but there is a drop ceiling in the bedroom! I'd love to do away with it. Thanks!"
We found two online walk-throughs (with pictures - hooray) at HGTV.com, here and here, and one at DIYnetwork.com. It seems like a very do-able project.
Most sites that sell the panels also offer installation instructions so there is lots of info on how-to out there. M-boss sells the panels, as does The American Tin Ceiling Co. and Brian Greers.
Has anyone installed tin ceilings in their home, either as a diy project or with professional installation? We'd love your input....

I have also had a good experience with the American Tin Ceiling Company (http://www.americantinceilings.com) They have a "snap & lock" (or something like that) version that doesn't require many nails, and ensures a square fit. They also have "how to" tutorials on their website so you can see if the project is within your comfort zone.
