Next up were those ugly drywall walls and ceiling... I knew right away that I wanted to brighten this whole work area up and give it a "wow" factor when someone saw it for the first time... Due to drywall soaking up moisture, and deteriorating over time I decided NOT to re drywall the whole...

I went straight over drywall in my shop.. I had a few different issues to work around so I had to go between 1x2's and 1x4's.. I also didn't go with full tin walls as I wanted to break up the design a bit, so I did the walls first and the ceiling last. I'll have better pictures in a week or so...
