When last me met, the ceiling looked like this:
Obviously, it was time to do something about this! So the best idea I had (absent ripping it all out - which I wasn't ready to do) was to go over that mess. Here's a couple shots of the progress:

Front hall as staging area. |

The panels were so heavy they had to be cut in half. |

Which of course meant the seams had to be covered. |
 |
Probably an easier way to make sure the
boards lined up - but I couldn't think of one! |
So, that's the ceiling until the reveal. It came out quite nice, but to be honest pulling it down and putting up a new ceiling would have been a thousand times easier. Because of the plaster-and-lathe and the weight of the panels, I had to use toggle bolts (look closely at the pictures) to make the panels flush with the ceiling.
These things worked great:
Next up: The walls!
