Hi friends,
The terminal slice of the puzzle for my dining room makeover is here, the coffered ceiling! It took me quite a long fourth dimension to larn to the terminal details because of the intermission I took during the holidays.
But, howdy guys, its here, as well as I beloved it, as well as every bit a means to say give thank you lot you to all of you lot for existence that patient, I'm super happy to live teaming upwards with Ryobi Tools to give you lot the chance to win an amazing laid of ability tools. I'll verbalise to you lot close this inwards a minute. For now, let's larn to the ceiling details...
I was inwards the midst of edifice the bookcases, when out of the bluish I looked at the large white expanse of ceiling higher upwards me, as well as without thinking twice, I grabbed ii pieces of forest as well as tried to visualize how to give my plainly ceiling a novel look.
The programme was laid correct thence as well as there: I was going to construct a coffered ceiling.
Well, a apartment coffered ceiling, as well as I thought, perhaps, to give it some texture past times adding beadboard inwards betwixt the beams, because, inwards my hear it all was going to live white.
However, after finding out I had no budget for the 5 amount beadboard sheets, I had to settle for 5 sheets of ¼" underlayment. They're roughly 12 bucks per sheet.
The proficient people at The Home Depot made all the cuts for me. Sometimes it's free, sometimes it isn't. I paid 5 bucks for them to cutting vii of these sheets. I'm thence thankful for this, It would've been crazy doing it past times myself.
So, this is how the edifice of the apartment coffered ceiling went:
(Ceiling aprox. area: 12' x 10')
The materials: (This post contains affiliate links)
- ¼" Underlayment sheets cutting at 8" width lengthwise. ( there's i plank on each canvas that's exclusively 7½")
- 1 x 4 primed finger-joint pino for the perimeter of the room.
- 1 x vi primed finger-joint pino for the beams
- Crown molding (9/16 x 4-5/8) all roughly the room.
- Small molding or one-half circular all roughly the coffers.
- the lighting fixture, then, they were cutting out with a jig saw.
This is the await of the room with all the planks already inwards place. The arrow is pointing at the seam that afterwards on volition live covered past times i of the beams.
The side past times side mensuration is to add together the 1 x 4 textile all roughly the room. I used fighting pieces of 1 x 2 every bit temporary spacers, why purpose textile that the crown molding is going to cover. The spacers convey those 1 x 4 exterior the crown.
Adhesive was also applied to this 1 x 4 boards earlier bringing them to the ceiling.
Installing the long 1 x vi beams, was over again a ii somebody job. Adhesive was generously applied to these boards.
I used my angled nailer to drive fifteen gauge, 2½" brad nails to secure the beams to the joists on the ceiling.
Crown molding was the side past times side step. All cuts were done with the miter saw, as well as thence coping all those within angles, fine tuning them with the Dremel.
The angled nailer was again, the perfect tool for installing the crown.
As I said at the beginning, my programme was to pigment all those planks, but the to a greater extent than I looked at my ii note ceiling, the to a greater extent than I loved the rustic look. So, I decided to leave of absence it only similar that. I powerfulness pigment it inwards the future.
Though, all those piddling gaps were driving me nuts.
Just a few days ago, the small-scale molding was added. I used a uncomplicated miter box as well as a regular saw to brand all those 45-degree angles, the twenty-four hours was besides mutual frigidity to larn exterior to purpose the miter saw. :)
And, every bit they say... It's all inwards the details!
The terminal task is to encompass all the blast holes with painter's putty, run caulk all downwards the seams, as well as pigment all those areas.
Needles to say, I'm delighted at how my novel dining room, oh well, my office, looks now! :)
