The latest DIY ceiling trend using Home Depot wood

[@harbin88]

It would be so much easier to paint the beams before installing them to the ceiling. I dont understand the thinking of current process.

[@oslamckercher2167]

She explains exactly why she didn't.

[@Jazbo777]

Very cool idea Looks great!!

[@Sandi-zh2wx]

Lady!!!!!! You just solved my problem and i already have everything i need! Thank you so much!

[@poppsybabe]

That's a blast from the past lol. . in the 80s we put false beams into the ceilings. Funny how things come back around

[@feliciacalero4929]

Two good and easy to do ideas to get a nice looking transformation in the house.

[@georgeoffenberger1262]

🤣

[@stormyalice]

Only two small beams?

[@christinemomy8018]

It looks weird.

[@michaeljenkinson9479]

Somewhere Joanna Gaines is drooling. Also, after the fitting, it should have been taken down, connected, sanded, and stained, then re-attached. Overall, I think it works.

[@shelleyshub3593]

We have hollow wood beams too. They frame the room, and IMHO, look fabulous! Love yours too. Ignore those negative comments. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything!! ❤❤❤

[@robertkoehler1641]

It’s the 70s coming back. We had fake beams in living and family room. 😂

[@sandyhumissouri5131]

The lambswool pad was brilliant! Did it stop the danger of dripping? Ignore the haters and be proud of your project! Nice tutorial!

[@Rocko1990]

Where are the haters? I don't see any negative comments

[@jeffthompson-dd8kp]

Great job

[@bearded196]

I hope this doesn't ruin anyone's day, it's my opinion that they don't look good. I personally would want a real beam out of my living room. Why build a fake one?

[@matchesmalone79]

So redo the whole roof to get to the framing and spent tens of thousands of dollars just to get the same look? Do you realize a "real" beam would be part of the main framing of the house and roof structure? If you mean, "why not use a solid piece of lumbar?" The answer is cost and weight. If it's just for looks, it would be pointless anyway. This is exactly how it's done in all the modern mcmansions you see across the country. Stick built homes made to look like timber frame.

[@bearded196]

I hope you can build better than you comprehend what you read. I said I don't like the look and would want a real beam out of my house.

[@dans4900]

​@matchesmalone79 geez. Relax dude.

[@bearded196]

Deal. I'm relaxed. I just said I didn't like something and then had my words mischaracterized. My response was fairly muted.

[@matttorres7738]

Looks like a random board nailed into a window. Very cheap looking. "Batten down the hatches!"

[@jillianmartin4260]

Looks great 🙌 Can you tell me the name of the stain? Very pretty.

[@loricole1880]

Love the wood beams, but the second project is odd. Why use a wood grain over white? It doesn’t match.

[@39mayham]

Think it looks silly with large gap between the beams ,it just does not suit this room

[@margaretconnolly6686]

What a cheap mess with the tacky ceiling as well

[@joyce3531]

Love that wood beam idea. I would never know it's faux. Thank you for sharing.

[@BiggDouggie]

If you would have taken and sanded the edges where the wood was going to meet and then fill them in with wood putty. It would have blended them better the putty would have been able to actually fill into the scenes

[@georgeoffenberger1262]

Yeah but she comes off like a bored house wife that watches too much HGtv. Shes seeing things for the first time.its ground breaking to her buttheyve been making beams like that ForEver…. Common knowledge. Thats why she thinks this stuff is genius. “Tricks” lol.

[@lindajohnson7838]

Our family room had three different colors of genuine leather furniture. It was difficult to find yet another color to cover the cornice above the shades and drapes. Additionally there is recessed lighting behind the cornice. I used suede Main body of cornice) and aniline(trim on cornice, it is the shiny type of leather)in a single color. The texture of the leather created a subtle difference in color that matched perfectly the colors in the furniture. It was the finishing touch that tied the room together.

[@kelliwood3360]

With the beams, there should have been a 3rd, or a crossbeam. The two she put up, and in the locations they are, just don't look balanced or even. An odd number (almost) always looks better in art & decor. With the valance, just get a thin piece of wood trim - what a waste of time & materials!

[@craftyourwaytopeace]

Great idea with the faux beams.

[@nikolaiko]

Why tho?

[@pego99]

Why will this only work with home depot wood ?

[@JCurtis-ggirl]

😂 Because I own stock in the company 😅

[@CJ-lx8of]

I've watched. I've paused. I'm trying to figure this out. This looks terrible. It doesn't look natural. It doesn't look rustic. It looks like something broke so you nailed some random wood to it to do a quick fix.

[@AlexAlex-ii6bo]

What a waste of good timber😂🤣🤦‍♂️

[@juliekasper5460]

Would be interesting to know why she stained it once it was on the ceiling

[@-55512]

she said why

[@mejialemien]

That's the way to do it

[@j.ksmith7432]

Follow the transcript

[@BlackwellsADSdub]

Common knowledge I thought.🤔 The reason it hasn't caught on is bc it looks like crap and you can always tell it's not a solid beam. The wood putty was a waste of time.

[@lindawinchell7346]

I I tend to do this but because I have a more rustic decor I'm going to destress the wood and stain it.

[@k-9lover5349]

Uh.. not in that room.. also, phen shui says "a bad idea" .. 🤔

[@nl1318]

"Feng" shui is not a person... its a process and art

[@paulineevans1126]

Strange. If I had a house with beams I’d get rid of them.

[@matchesmalone79]

Strange, because a timber framed house and unique woodwork is rare these days. This gives the room the same look. Way more character than the generic mcmansions that are thrown up in a couple days

[@Grunt49]

Rinse the wool paint glove before use.

[@Purrbeast1]

This was being done years ago and stained before fixing

[@LaNette2733]

Very cool i like all of them

[@darrinjones9387]

I would build it up more with mouldings and do a cross to make it richer looking. These help hide a lot of drywall sins😂 Be creative!

[@bid9993]

Your adding extra weight to the plasterboard make sure the fixing are good enough

[@zecharhiacsaszar3076]

Why don't you stain the wood before you put it on white paint??? You can stain all the pieces before even putting them together if you wanted. Wtf lol

[@jelee5240]

What a waste of wood!

[@shanebudiac6481]

Should of mitered the butt joints on the

[@shaunacostello5982]

Exactly and stain it before putting it up

[@Darkseid001]

Ok so first you keep calling it faux wood it sure looks like real wood to me. Second they make those in Styrofoam that look better then what you did.

[@estherstrategicadvisor749]

Faux wood BEAM. The adjective faux is referring to the TWO WORD PHRASE "Wood Beam." It is a wooden plank etc but NOT a "beam." They also make "Faux Styrofoam Beams." Do you think that means the styrofoam is fake?😂 Hope😅 that helps! *Edited for typo...

[@Darkseid001]

@estherstrategicadvisor749 oh good lord you need help

[@awbobsagetable]

​@@Darkseid001perhaps it's you since you have difficulty understanding a common word.

[@chrisnash6493]

I think I would have gotten rid of that popcorn ceiling first.

[@shawndelope2107]

Uhh, that's not popcorn ceiling. It's simply textured

[@tellstar1795]

a lot of old plaster coving may contain asbestos

[@abdulkhafidsulaymaan]

all of this merely for aesthetics?

[@DavidVanHelden1]

It looks faux...

[@RobfromNorCal]

Do they accept rent from a hollow bank account

[@toddcummings7843]

I'm sorry, beams are very 70s, I don't think it looks nice at all

[@matchesmalone79]

70s style > 2023 style

[@Woodwerker]

That looks like crap. Embarrassing

[@georgeoffenberger1262]

Next video she explains how to tie your shoes. Its a little harder than this but im sure she has “trick”… like tie a bow so your feet dont come out. This is sad.

[@christinemomy8018]

True.

[@vivienroshe]

Sorry but it doesn’t 😂

[@kdfrk247]

Maybe in America but in UK it's tacky😂

[@ameliareaganwright2758]

In the U.S.A., You are called RUDE! That's a universal term for your ILK. "If you cannot say anything nice, say NOTHING." I thought your mother would have taught you better than what you are. I doubt that you make her proud.

[@chall5353]

It's tacky in America too for some of us.

[@starkravenmad3206]

It’s kind of outdated in the US unless you have certain decor

[@CJ-lx8of]

Stealing other cultures' artifacts, charging people to see what you stole, and still to this day refusing to give them back is also tacky, UK.

[@justinbieber12373]

The FAKE BEAMS ??? What a waste of time and money.. Anything to do a video ???

[@CoreyGetsFunky]

Correct and easiest thing would have been to use 2 single 4x4s, rather than 6 2x4s. Stain on ground, mount 1 board to ceiling. NOT 3 to ea other and then the ceiling, then stain. Literally made this as hard as possible and janky. But u got a view n comment outta me so guess it's a win

[@oslamckercher2167]

She didn't use six 2x4s. She used two 2x4 [ETA: that should be 1x4] and four 1x3. Even if she had used two actual solid pieces of wood (4x4) as you suggest (which she didn't due to weight), she would still have the seam to deal with.

[@40ozFatality]

She used 1x on all sides... two 1x3 and one 1x4. This is done to keep down the weight that solid wood would bring to the ceiling. The correct way to do it would have been 45° bevels for the corners instead of just butting the boards. Also that butt joint in the middle could have been worked better and the entire thing could have been finished on the ground.... I cringed when I saw her burn the crown with that oscillating saw. Twice.

[@oslamckercher2167]

@@40ozFatality I agree about the crown! (And thanks for correcting my typo)

[@cowdough94]

miter the corners. good grief. if you're going to butcher your crown and try to add some appeal to your home do it right. don't do this corny kindergarten stuff. geez

Fire hazard

[@terrysmith4465]

Why is it a fire hazard you just didn't have anything else to say

[@themykil]

Fire hazard? The wood? Like what’s in the walls already? Or throughout the rest of every home? The stain like what’s on cabinets or furniture in almost every home? Did I miss something? If there’s any bad advice here, it’s advising someone to put toggle bolts in a ceiling, little risky. Mitering where wood meets helps blend well and using wood glue mixed with the sawdust created from the wood you’re using makes a better filler than putty. Putty turns it into a paint project

[@NoName-zi9qs]

This should not trend.

[@bigblueskybehindtheclouds1874]

Mine looks better not like a 2x4 on the ceiling
