Hide those ugly textured ceilings easily with planking. Here’s our simple how-to for planking a textured ceiling that any beginner can tackle!<\/em><\/h3>\n

Planked ceilings, they’re charming, easy to install and give any space a big bang for the buck! We planked our first ceiling not quite four years ago in our dining room and haven’t looked back since. When we bought our colonial it had not popcorn but textured ceilings. I’m not a fan of either so we’ve been slowly planking over them. Not only is the wood planking easier to keep clean but it’s also very in keeping with our colonial style home. One thing about old homes that I’ve always loved is their use of planking and bead board on ceilings. There’s just something so welcoming and inviting about it not to mention how timeless they are.<\/p>\n

We thought about scraping all of our ceilings essentially but if your ceiling is textured vs. popcorn like ours were scraping isn’t quite as easy. It can be done and we’ve actually done before but there’s a lot of sanding and dust involved. If you’re not the best at dry wall work it can prove to be a bit frustrating. We quickly decided that planked ceilings were the way to go. Not only do they look great, they’re easy to do!<\/p>\n

Our most latest planking job is in our foyer. This past weekend we finally go it up and all we have left is to paint it. We’ve also installed planking in our kitchen, dining room, master bathroom and laundry room.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, this is my first time writing about it. Why it’s taken me so long to share I have no idea! There are a lot of tongue and groove products out there. Some people even use 1\/4″ plywood cut into long strips. For the ceilings on the main floor in our home we wanted to use an authentic tongue and groove. In each room so far we’ve uses a product called Edge V Planking from Lowes<\/strong><\/a>. It’s not as cheap as using cut plywood but it’s also not the most expensive planking product. One side is plain and smooth and the opposite side if bead board. You’ve go two options with this one friends! They come 8′ long and each pack covers just over 14 sq. ft.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at our foyer’s ceilings before. I apologize for the sad phone shot but you get the picture. On the left you can see where I started to scrap the ceiling. I actually managed to scrap the whole room before I decided to keep things flowing in the house and plank it like our other rooms. Ideas and plans change and sometimes you just have to go with it and not think about all the time wasted scraping, ha!<\/p>\n

Note – this planking can be installed right over textured ceilings. In our other rooms that’s exactly what we did and it’s held just fine!<\/p>\n
