Popcorn Ceiling Update

Continue adding boards

I continued adding boards and trimmed them to fit around ceiling vents and light fixture. I used a miter saw to make the cuts.

Finish nailing board

I was expecting that I may need to trim the width of the last board but it actually fit perfectly. It may be necessary to trim the last board before hanging.

Trim

Next I added trim. I chose a simple l-shaped trim that would add support to boards on ceiling.

Whitewash boards

I wanted white boards but wanted to allow wood grain to show through. I used white interior latex paint and watered it down to achieve a whitewash look.

Add paint as needed

It took 3 coats to get the look I wanted.

Before/after

I am pleased with how it turned out. It was not difficult and now I will use this and maybe a few other techniques to do the rest of my ceilings.
