It a nice upgrade, but we realized when we finished that we never really took pictures of the old ceiling. It had some serious problems so I'm not surprised we never took a close up on it, but I should have thought to before we got started. The original plaster had cracked virtually everywhere and in one place the lathe had detached from the joints enough that there was a 3in dip in a large section. To top it off the ceiling had been 'popcorn-ed' just before we bought the house, all in all it made for a quite the effect.
It's not great but here's the closest I have to before and after shots.
Before:
When we moved in
First Christmas
During:
Still working here, just as a reference
After:
Finally, we took some of the scrap trim pieces and made a table top. It's not a fancy as it looks but better than I expected.
