I've been thinking about how to add exposed ductwork to the ceiling of the coffee shop.
Here is what I came up with so far.
If I add beams across the ceiling I can hang my ducts from them like this.
I'm using a roll of electrical conduit tubing I discovered at Lowes. It is 1/2 inch in diameter which is about the same size as real life a/c ducts.
This is a small piece of it in place. It is hanging with wire that I wrapped around two nails.
I still need to figure out how to run the wiring for the lights. I guess I should do that first?
I want "pot" lights and two hanging fixures on this ceiling. I will be using LED lights from Evans Designs.
Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! My kids took me out for lunch at Red Robin. YUM!
My daughter and I also stopped at Michaels. I got the Martha Stewart fringe scissors I've been wanting to try. I forgot my 40% off coupon but the sweet cashier gave me the discount anyway!
Maybe it was her way of saying "Happy Mother's Day!" :D

Looking good, and Happy Mothers Day!
Oh, my goodness! I love it! Exposed duct work for the dollhouse.
I have to share this with hubby the engineer. We spend most of our time looking up.
Good for you for being so innovative! :)
Love the tubing you found, it will look great as the exposed ductwork!
How lucky you still got 40 % off your purchase. Those kinds of discounts hardly ever come up where I live, only when a shop goes out of business!
Love that idea! And it looks so real!

Hello Kathi,
I'm glad you had a happy mother's day!
I think the duct you chose looks very good. The scale of the tubing is realistic and it translates very well into a miniature scene...brilliant!
Have a great week,

Thanks everyone!
I've decided that I need a roof top A/C unit. Not sure how I will make that! Stay tuned. :D
I love that tubing, Kathi! You have such a knack for finding useful things for your minis.
How cool is that?!
Don't you just love it when the lightbulb goes on over your head?
You're doing a great job! Really like your blog.
