can you count the letter "o" in:
i've had a few people inquire about our ceiling treatment.
the first layer of wallpaper didn't come off so bad. that stuff underneath, and the layer under that? no amount of steaming, prepping, downy softener... was going to get it all off.
do you have any idea what a satisfying feeling it is to rip off a big chunk like that?!
my sister-in-law took the first wack at that soffit above the cupboards. we decided it shouldn't be there. but, yikes! the plaster on the ceiling was atrocious - what was i going to say to the hubby when he came and saw what i did?!
when the dadman came to visit aka transform into a work horse, he decided the rest of the soffits needed to come down too!
okay. the ceilings are bad.  off to lowes. i was originally thinking beadboard (wainscoting) but i saw this instead. pieces of whitewash paneling. one of the downsides to it is it warps very easily. it was cheaper than what i originally wanted - so that was a bonus! some nice guys shpoping thought i needed help and loaded it all on to a cart for me. i didn't, but i also won't turn down a chivalrous man.
we ended up just attaching it with a nail gun while at least three of us held it in place. i orignally had bought several tubes of liquid nails for reinforcement, but they ditched that after the first couple pieces.
don't even ask what the dadman is doing up there. this picture was actually taken for the flooring post to come someday.... i'll say this. he can make me laugh when all i want to do is cry!
cover it up!! we don't want to look at it for another second!
