A Bedroom Story

No, not that kind of bedroom story (although, I am sure I could think of few good ones).
THIS STORY involves our master bedroom ceiling. Apparently the previous owner did not prime before applying the ceiling texture. Thus, a few months after moving in our bedroom ceiling started peeling. It was subtle at first, but eventually the peeling got worse. So we got out the scraper out and went to town. Then, when we got tired of scraping, we bought some tongue-and-groove boards to cover the lovely half-textured ceiling up.

This is the ceiling after scraping and marking out the studs with blue chalk lines...

a tonload of tongue-and-groove boards after a couple coats of primer...

an awkwardly side wise picture of Brandon painting the new ceiling with a final coat of white paint...

the crown molding getting their own coat of white paint...

a before picture of the ceiling before crown molding...

and finally, the oh la la after...
Definitely gives the master bedroom and little cottage cabin vibe...time to get all warm and cozy ; )
