I figure I can either staple the reed directly to the 2x3s or eventually put up hardboard. Then my anal retentiveness kicked when I noticed that you can see the new wood and wires through the reeds. I went to Home Depot and bought Espresso-colored satin paint for like $8 a quart and started painting everything that wasn't brown on the ceiling. Turns out the color matches the studs perfectly. I think I'll keep the reeds down until I get some fireproofing supplies in.
