At first, I didn't want any upper cupboards, I just wanted shelving, etc., but we'll see. We will definitely be on a retirement budget - tight. <br /><br />I will definitely check out all of the recommendations above and I've also heard that the tin ceilings get residue easily --- I'm not sure why because...does this mean we're all getting this residue but the tin ceilings just show it more readily? And, I've seen some terrible installations, but this ceiling probably does look so good because it's older, has been caulked and painted. <br /><br />Rae - there is an architectural salvage yard here in the Houston area and we visit it frequently. We always find very interesting things. <br /><br />B -- I do think we're going to start searching Craigslist for things we need for the farm, that would be too expensive brand new.

One of our local places even has seats from bleachers they pulled out of an old highschool.

The whole family pitches in twice a year to set up ladders to "degrease" the ceiling with ammonia water.
