Thanks for the tip on the ceiling paneling. I too used it on my cargo conversion and I think it turned out very well.

I used the 1/8" paneling for my ceiling also but I used the knotty pine style that Lowes had. It took the inner curve really well.

Prohandyman, I checked out your conversion. You are doing a great job on that project. Should come in handy for those overnight fishing trips.

BTW there is tape available in the same pattern that can be used to cover joints to make them almost invisible. I used it on the plastic trim pieces and they almost disappear.

SkipperSue, Nice knotty pine. I've always liked KP for its "woodsy" look and feel. How about a bear skin rug to give it a truly cabin feel.

Nytewyng, tin ceileing? That's ambitious!

I just installed some embossed ceiling panels today for a lady in her basement - they were cool, and Plastic! They looked just like the tin ceiling from days gone by. Had a copper glow to them. The lady bought them at Lowes. I flexed them and they bent real easily,and they might make a real cool ceiling effect. Just like metal! She had already installed some that looked like polished aluminum in her kitchen on the walls. :thinking:
