Hi:
I'm looking for Web sites or books with examples of finishing a basement ceiling with fabric. Can anyone point me to a resource?
Thanks.

Are you sure you want to do that? It seems to be that fabric would collect dust/dirt rather quickly - it would look nice for a little while, but then prove to be a mess. I'm personally not a huge fan of fabric covered walls for the same reason - if you have pets, dog/cat hair will stick as well!
But, if you must, I didn't find any particularly helpful websites, but here's an idea:
Install fake beams first, then drape fabric (with a slight bow) between the beams (attaching to the sides of the beams with a stable gun. Next use a gluegun to attach a decorative (but discrete) rope over top of where the staples are.
