DIY: Amazing Faux Finish Wood Ceilings under $200 Bucks

[@christyfaught]

Beautiful finish and beautiful ceiling. Love this !!!!

[@JenMarco]

That looks awesome! Fast forward 10 years and it’s probably over $2k now

That was great mikey. I hope you and Dan do more home improvement videos for us.

[@HulaShack1]

Great video....I just want to say that I am always shocked at how rude people can be. Someone takes the time to share a video and then the people sitting on their butts at home start to tell the person who made the video, all the things that they did wrong or all the things that they should have done. If you think you can do a better video, please feel free to do so and then give us the link so we can go to your video and tell you what you did wrong. To the "Crochet Crowd, THANK YOU for sharing this. It really is helping us understand how to redo our hideous ceiling for a reasonable price.

amen

[@kskc1234]

That looks fantastic Mikey and Dan! Great job. Is there anything you guys can't do? You and Diva Dan inspire each other and together you all are amazing.

[@ShotgunAndAShovel]

this turned out really pretty

[@thomasmurphyjr5829]

OMG Mikey, I'm always amazed that when I turn to youtube for creative inspiration I keep finding you!!! Keep up the great work you do! Thank you for sharing!!! Jes

[@marike41]

my compliments gentlemen. looks really great.

[@chrismiko1]

As a musician, all I got from that was the "Tears in Heaven" backing track. Ceiling looked nice

[@maryproveaux9200]

Pretty!

[@samella35]

Beautiful. But would've liked to see how you put the wood up in the ceiling. Thanks for posting.

[@ilovstodance]

that is very very nice well done guys my husband has wrked with this wood for a ladys basement when that was done it sure looked nice

[@mariakman8740]

Would like to see crown molding around new ceiling

[@63supercobrajet]

so how did you attach it to ceiling rafters? -small finishing nail gun ?

[@TnWonderer]

looks great

[@floydian68]

I wish someone would let me know where to get this much wood for that low of a price!

[@Lu-cho]

ja ja. yes. a guy told me on local floor store (not big store) and the have some bad material (wood flooring) and he pays $1 long ft. because the good was bad for flooring. . but perfect for ceiling or wall.. job.

[@kef103]

Exactly I think he planted those trees as a child and just cut them down now lol.

[@bwiseok]

Wow I love the ceiling. You said you got those boards in a pack?

[@sarabibler7028]

Great video, going to do this in my house!

[@ALayne08]

Very nice job.

[@julius350z]

what kind of canned lights are those? very nice job btw

[@williamdutton3321]

Imagine being able to afford this ceiling in 2021! A single 1x4x8 T&G plank at Rona (in Canada) costs $10!!!!!!!!!! 😵

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Isn't the wood pricing disgusting eh! 1 sheet of plywood is $90 Canadian Bucks! (I am Canadian). It has stalled some projects we wanted to do. I refused to pay that price.

[@codychristians4266]

awesome video. how does one go about staggering the paneling? also as joeCnNd asked do you use more/less coats for different color effect?

[@shantellamend8986]

I prefer to build with Stodoys plans.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I will look that up. thanks.

[@shantellamend8986]

@@TheCrochetCrowd Awesome!

[@memoriesmattertacha]

So love that!!

[@Tinyteacher1111]

Does this start to warp?

[@thehomegardener]

Crap guys awesome idea but incomplete video. Awesome idea I'm standing and using the silver nails. Think I will do that in my bedroom. But I also would have liked to know how you dealt with expand and contraction. What is the gap width between boards ?

[@mohawksteel2215]

pine plank panels have V joints that slip together. get them at Home Depot in 14 sq ft pack

[@h8ncars]

Anyone know where to find these boards? lowes don't have them..

[@JoeCnNd]

Have to wait for sells.

[@JoeCnNd]

to get the different color effect did you use more coats on some then others?

[@kertiszman]

Can you tell me what size would you used?? It looks like 1/4" × 2'. Is that correct? We are going to do our second living room that it pretty small.

[@illmatic33]

I got 450 square feet basement... Need help finding really really cheap wood plank lol. Where do you get your wood from?

[@curvybeauty24]

We are in the process of doing ours in part of our new house. We got ours at Lowe's. www.lowes.com/pd/EverTrue-3-5625-in-x-8-ft-Edge-and-Center-Bead-Gold-Pine-Wood-Wall-Panel/3056259 - I think this is the one we used, but a word of caution - buy extra with plans to take some back. We had a lot of boards that were not usable because the tongue part of the tongue and groove was broken.

[@illmatic33]

+Carrie Beth thanks for the hint. I live 2 miles from a home depot so going back and forth is the norm for me. anyway is that cottage grade in your link, looks different from his.

[@illmatic33]

+Carrie Beth also that's very expensive. his was under $1 per square feet.

[@curvybeauty24]

+Don Powell the specs on lowes.com aren't accurate. It comes several boards per pack. I can't remember exactly how many, if I were to guess, I'd say 8-10. I also used coupons or our military discount and discount gift cards to lessen the cost. I'm not sure what you mean by cottage grade.

[@illmatic33]

+Carrie Beth it's what the video description says. I guess less quality wood...

[@tracic123]

So...we were going to do this but upon reading up it says you have to have drywall between the floors for fire code - can someone tell me why he doesn't need to do that? Hoping I missed something and we can do this!!

[@Fixstuffsteve]

Ya no need for code if there's no inspecter around

[@mohawksteel2215]

forgiveness is easier to get than permission

[@Detroitblue]

Faux also indicates that a layer or covering is being applied to give the appearance of the more solid or genuine article. Faux means fake out or wont measure up under close inspection. .

[@inkked74]

What happens if/when you get a leak? Did you install hidden access panels or simply rip it down?

[@alterlab2191]

what good would an access panel do for a leak? you'd have to rip the whole thing down anyway.

[@TheWarrior831]

can you use this on the exterior?

[@alterlab2191]

no.

[@TheShagans]

When I see faux, I assume painted. This uses real wood planks. Faux?

[@alterlab2191]

barn faux finish, think he meant fake aged

[@maryhansen8352]

The faux was the "faux finish" he applied to make look like barn wood. The title did not say faux wood.

[@kef103]

What happens when you need to access pipes or wire ? Oops

[@DC-yl4vc]

pull a board or two down? easier than taking down a drywall ceiling

[@paigesilva23]

The wood is 8.99 but the minwax is 25? I sell minwax at lowes for 10 and wood for 30..

[@paulstephens9274]

2nd mistake using behr and minwax

Tell me ALL about those stroke marks! ....lol
