Who loves a planked ceiling? 🤚 🤚🤚 This is

Who loves a planked ceiling? 🤚 🤚🤚 This is a great beginner project - details below, and highlight bubble titled “ceiling”:

🌟 unfinished pine tongue and groove from @loweshomeimprovement
🌟 Early American and Weathered Oak stain from @varathane
🌟 @ryobitoolsusa sander, nail gun and miter saw
🌟 moulding from @homedepot
🌟 inspiration from @angelarosehome

Steps:

1️⃣Sand and stain all of the boards, I like to layer the stains with early American first then weathered oak

2️⃣ cut boards to width

3️⃣ place them in the opposite direction of the ceiling joists with the nailer, nailing into studs as you go

4️⃣ attach moulding and caulk the seams

@myoverlays are decorative overlay panels that can be glued to drawer fronts and painted, it seriously couldn’t be easier. PLUS, they are made to fit different styles of IKEA furniture and there are so many different overlays to choose from.

🌟 WEEK 7 🌟 I built a couch!!! Out of SCRAP WOOD. Fun fact- the back of this couch, swipe to see, is made out of wood that made up built-ins in this room that I ripped out as part of my very first DIY project. That is some awesome repurposing!

The tutorial I used is from @homemade_modern

🌟 WEEK 6 🌟 I made a neon light sign!! Learning new things is one of my favorite parts of DIY. This was a roller coaster of emotions but I’m so thrilled with how it came out!! This challenge is almost over, but I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. (Also this week, the backlit moulding!) #bhgorc #oneroomchallenge @betterhomesandgardens @oneroomchallenge #diyneonsign #ledsign #diyled #diyblogger

🌟 WEEK 5 🌟 I can’t believe we are in the final stretch of the #oneroomchallenge - if I’m being honest, I’m loving the slower pace of taking this room bit by bit instead of doing it as quickly as I can. Have you enjoyed following the slower pace or are you ready for me to move on to the next space already? ▶️ this week, I’ll be making a neon LED sign 🤞- I’m excited for this!! #bhgorc @betterhomesandgardens @oneroomchallenge #gameroommakeover #kidsplayroom #builtins #brickwall #fauxmarble #paintedleather

Psst…if you missed it in stories, these leather chairs are PAINTED! My mind has been truly blown by this. I wish you could feel them through the screen, you would never know!
