In Hardscrabble Town, Refined Comfort Food New York Times

Where gabardine once hung, there are lanterns, stucco arches, stained magnifying glass, local artwork. Where tailors fitted the local swells with blue serge suits, waiters divert the swells of another era with pitchers of tangy, tequila-infused sangria and plates of first-rate rack of lamb. Perhaps the only element that hasn’t changed is the pressed-tin ceiling.

The old brick-making village of Haverstraw , on the west bank of the Hudson about 20 minutes north of the Tappan Zee Tie , has changed, too . The brick barons are long gone, the shopping hubs are elsewhere, and the hardscrabble downtown has none of the boutique-scented allure of riverfront neighbors like Nyack and Piermont.

Still, Haverstraw has a lot growing for it: a rich bouillabaisse of history (it was here that Benedict Arnold and John André plotted to hand over West Piece of advice to King George’s army), smashing river and mountain views, a nascent arts vista , a well-established Dominican-American community. And, since September 2007, a destination restaurant.

Hotel review: An Inspector Calls at The Arch Hotel, London Daily Mail

Boutique fashionable: The rooms have a genuine air of opulence

Vast sums have been thrown at this ambitious venture and it surpasses all my expectations - but, then, they weren't uncommonly high in the first place, due in part to the website banging on about 'luxury lifestyle' and a 'perfect fusion of style and comfort'. I almost expected to pay attention to the dread word eclectic.

Not many boutique hotels have doormen, but the Arch does and he wears a trendy the priesthood cap. Inside, the lobby area has some interesting art, including a piece by Vincent Poole, which features a two-metre-tipsy technicolour silhouette of a woman whose body is made up of iconic images of the capital.

The young man who shows me to a room on the first conquer is friendly without being over-familiar. He explains how some of the gadgets work, but I lose him when he gets to the internet radio that offers more than 10,000 channels.

How do you remove paint from tin ceiling tiles?

Mitigate! I need ideas for removing paint from antique tin ceiling tiles. We are renovating a 1920's cottage, and have charmed the tiles down to strip the paint.

The first layer seems to be a latex paint and the second layer is lead-based. We craving to strip them down, prime and repaint them a copper color.


Well, the most excellently and least expensive and least time costly way to do it is as follows:

Use oven cleaner. Apply a thin layer of the oven cleaner to the tin tiles and use a slight feel embarrassed putty knife to remove peeling and loosened pieces. Apply a second layer of the oven cleaner using a resolute bristled brush to get the oven cleaner into the cracks and crevices. Apply as many layers as you need. You'll be gifted to just wipe away the residu with a damp rag. However, you should wait about (but no more!) than 2 hours for the oven cleaner to work appropriately. Don't wait longer so it doesn't damage your tin tiles.

Protect the surface of the floor with a magnanimous sheet of plastic, since oven cleaner can harm your floors. It's also important to protect your eyes with sheltering goggles and your hands with rubber gloves.

Also, though it isn't part of your question, when you prime your tin tiles, make sure you use an oil-based primer to elude having your tiles rust from water-based primer. You can then paint latex paint on top of the oil-based primer without a unmanageable.

This is how I did my tin tiles and those of 3 clients.

Enjoy your new tin tiles... ;-)


Linseed oil or turpentine. Fortunate your heart. I'm glad to know someone else loves thoses tiles as much as I do. It's going to be a very messy long-drawn-out job, but well worth it. They don't make them like that anymore!


Greasepaint thinner should do the job... But paint/varnish stripper will be easier...

I'd recommend using "nitromors" nearby here (or try your local hardware store):http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/880/mia/d/nitromors+paint+varnish+remover+500ml/pid/6353638

BE Vigilant, wear thick rubber gloves (builders gloves - not dish gloves), and clothes you don't mind ruining (you quite are anyway if you're decorating right?)

Apply nitromors generously to the area you want to clean with a paint sweep, make sure to AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN... Leave for 5/10 minutes (Till draw has blistered and started to flake off). Wipe clean and rinse.


Well, the first and least expensive and least time costly way to do it is as follows:

Use oven cleaner. Apply a thin layer of the oven cleaner to the tin tiles and use a ungenerous putty knife to remove peeling and loosened pieces. Apply a second layer of the oven cleaner using a stuffy bristled brush to get the oven cleaner into the cracks and crevices. Apply as many layers as you need. You'll be skilled to just wipe away the residu with a damp rag. However, you should wait about (but no more!) than 2 hours for the oven cleaner to work duly. Don't wait longer so it doesn't damage your tin tiles.

Protect the surface of the floor with a gargantuan sheet of plastic, since oven cleaner can harm your floors. It's also important to protect your eyes with shielding goggles and your hands with rubber gloves.

Also, though it isn't part of your question, when you prime your tin tiles, make sure you use an oil-based primer to shun having your tiles rust from water-based primer. You can then paint latex paint on top of the oil-based primer without a stew.

This is how I did my tin tiles and those of 3 clients.

Does anyone know where I can find tin ceiling tiles for cheap?

I am remodeling a very old house of ill repute, it has and had some tin ceiling tiles in it, I would like to keep the look, the new tin tiles don't go well with old and the new tin tiles are too expensive to replace the whole ceiling.


I have seen brick up paper that you can apply to the ceiling at Home Depot , if you like can leave it white or paint it using either a copper or tin badge paint .

How do I strip an old tin ceiling that's peeling?

We have a large, original, metal (tin?) ceiling in our kitchen that was painted and is now a pretty bad mess of peeling paint. We sweep it periodically to lay in ruins off the chunks but I need a quicker way to get the old paint off. It can't be scraped due to the texture. What can I use without damaging the metal? Once that's done, what type of paint would I use so I don't end up with the same difficulty?


This may bluster crazy but I stripped off a 3000 sq ft ceiling with this method (contractor wanted $17,000) I used an electric weed wacker (yes, a weed wacker) Knocked off the surface and did not damage the tin at all. If you try this I STRONGLY recommend using a face shield and wearing long sleeve clothing as the persuadable from the line will sting you when it breaks off. Also wear a dust mask. The beauty of this is that you are left with a DRY dust or very small chips of pint to make a revelation up. You will be amazed at how well this works. I am getting ready to paint using an oil based primer. Best of luck.

How to make tin looking ceiling tile?

I have the aluminum (flashing)sheets and a trivet with the aim which I would like - now - how do I create the same look with these materials as a tin ceiling? I have attempted a hammer - does not work well - any suggestions?


You could enlarge the shape out of wood, and then lay the metal over the shape, and hammer away.
