Come to find out, the previous owners didn't care for the faux brick that outlined the area above the cabinets, so they installed a drop ceiling. After looking at it, I fell in love and made it work w/ my remodel. Unfortunately our kitchen isn't that big, but by removing the drop ceiling it makes it "appear" bigger. |
The original drywall lid is still up there, but significant damage was done to it when they wired the the dozen florescent fixtures. Restoring it, and removing the hideous sunflower wallpaper on the soffits would've added more time that I didn't really have, plus I would've had to go into the attic to do my wiring...not fun. Would've saved me a little money too, but right now I have more money than time so I went the quicker and easier route. I'm not a real big fan of drop ceilings in residential applications but I think it works well enough in this case.
