This is one of the more exciting posts for me because there is actual progress on my quilting studio! This is post 1 of 2, just to keep the posts a little shorter. Welcome to the ceiling!
As you may remember, hubby and I had painted the ceiling...which started to peel only hours later (sigh). Well, hubby had the idea of covering the existing ceiling with beadboard and 1" x 6"'s. That took a little detour when we saw the price of beadboard. We're trying to do this "remodel" on a shoestring budget.
We looked at alternate ways of doing this and came up with using luan (think old-school paneling without the grooves) and 1" x 2"'s.
Original ceiling:

Luan going up (the 1" x 2"'s were purchased pre-painted white):
Let the painting begin. This took awhile as we both kept saying, "We're too old for this.". Painting above your head is hard!
...and fully painted:
As you can see, the new light fixtures are also in. They are track lights that I got at Home Depot.
Next post will be painting the walls and closets. Whew!
Happy Stitching!

Oh, that looks great now!
I imagine that painting over your head is really hard. I'd probably come out of that room covered in white spots!
