This is all really helpful. I have little to no experience in handy-man things so I wanted to make sure to go with a tried and true method that is safe. Should I be concerned about fire hazards when covering anything with fabric? And I will definitely post progress photos, but this is going to be a long term project, will probably happen over years. It is my sanity project to keep my job from taking over my life! If I were you, I would call an AC guy to come out and look and see if he can more efficiently run your duct work. You may be able to route a lot of it on the edge of one wall or a couple of walls of the room. You could just drop the ceiling there and preserve your height everywhere else. You could make it a heck of a lot nicer looking than just painting everything black.
