DIY Faux Beams Ceiling Makeover | Plank Over Popcorn Ceilings Faux Shiplap

I installed faux wood ceiling beams and put faux shiplap planks over my popcorn ceiling as part of my living room makeover. Tackling this project was an easy way to modernize the look of my living room and I can't wait to install a fireplace next!

All your labor-saving tricks are giving off serious big brain energy. I especially liked when you drove the screws partway into the supports before lifting them up to the ceiling and clamped all the boards together before staining the edges.

Great job! A word of warning, be careful nailing through your ceiling since you have no idea if there are any wires just laying above it.

You definitely have a knack for creativity Melissa! Awesome work and may Jesus Christ bless you and your precious family!

Your natural engineering skills are amazing. Your beams look great and accent the room. Nice job.

Your room turned out beautifully! We did this for a much larger living room dining room combination. I have to say that our liquid nails and every other kind of Liquid adhesion material we used did not work! Nothing would hold that beat board up there for any length of time. We ended up purchasing a. Sheet rock lift to keep the pieces up while we did the nailing. I joke that it saved my marriage!! It is very difficult working with heavy stuff over your head as you probably know. I will include some pictures. Thanks again for your video. I love the way my ceiling looks and we get tons of compliments! And we never would have thought to do it without you video.😁

Atta Girl! On a budget I used to haul all sort of wood and reno material in my Versa Note hatchback. Amazing what you can fit in!

[donnabraud]

You cracked me up hauling lumber in your Pontiac Vibe! I drove one for over ten years and hauled EVERYTHING in it. I loved that little car. You are inspiring!

Excellent video production -> fast enough to get key points across, no annoying audio or dead-spots or weak points of discussion. Beam construction + tips now look easy :) Thx.

You are like an intuitive engineer. So cool. Bravo!

You did an awesome job, I'm about to cut my sheetrock to install can lights and will probably cover it with this method, it's old popcorn ceilings with beams already there. Glad to see a lady doing this kind of work

Using the 2X4 flame you made, aka a"dead man" was a good trick to push the low areas up. I would not have thought to use one of those for that. Looks really good.
Thanks for sharing this,

Working on a house that old must have some interesting challenges. Thanks for sharing!

THOSE BEAMS LOOK GREAT WITH THAT CEILING !!!!

[godbrother]

Such a good idea to cover those popcorn ceilings 😯

Great job Melissa. If you pre drill those holes for your jig, the 1x2 wouldn’t start to crack, also next time slid a piece of that 1/8 inch plywood under your 2x4 jack. Save you scratching your floor. Fine job overall.

This is such a cool idea and you did a great job! Only just today had the mind blowing realization that one could decorate their ceilings. Love it.

Thank you. We bought a house with popcorn ceilings. We removed the popcorn from a couple of rooms but it just looks horrible because I couldn't smooth out the ceiling very well. I think we're going to do this to all rooms.

You're a natural carpenter!!!❤ looks great!!

I'm always impressed with your craftsmanship
