Replacing the Ceiling Heater Registers with a new design

The original ceiling heater registers are definitely original - and have been painted over several times.  Instead of trying to hide the register from sight, I decided to draw the eyes to them with something more interesting.

For comparison here is the old unit:

Removing the original took some work with a razor blade but, as you can see, several layers of paint still came with it - so some filler will be needed in the future.  For the replacement I decided on these units from Decor Grates - an "Oriental" wall unit that has a faux rubbed bronze look.  They are fairly inexpensive and not particularly sturdy for foot traffic, but a ceiling location would work just fine.
