When we moved into our 1920's home, every ceiling in our house was covered with texture. We fixed this problem easily and inexpensively, starting with our girls' room.
Learn how to plank a popcorn ceiling the easy way with planked plywood.
Old house ownership comes with many benefits. Crown molding, five panel doors with glass door knobs, original heart pine flooring, to name a few.
But, it also comes with a few drawbacks. Squeaky floors, outdated electrical and plumbing, and, the dreaded, dealing with renovations done through some less fashionable time periods. Linoleum floors, blue carpet, and my favorite, textured ceilings.
Please tell me, when were popcorn ceilings cool? Apparently they were so desirable that, at some point, someone took the effort to cover every ceiling in our house with the stuff. And since, I'm guessing, it wasn't hip in the 1920's, someone probably added the lovely texture in less romantic times, like the 80's, for example.
We decided to cover up this ugly trend, starting with our girls' room.
The Supplies
Five sheets 4′ by 8′ sanded plywood at 11/32″ thickness, cut into 6″ strips
Air compressor and nail gun
1 and 3/8″ 18 gague nails
Nickel for a spacer
White Paint
We started by purchasing five sheets of 4' by 8' sanded plywood at 11/32" thickness from Lowe's.
We had them cut it into 6" strips.
The workers will do this for 25 cents per cut. In my opinion, the convenience of this is totally worth a little added cost.
The Process
We basically planked this ceiling the exact same way we planked our shiplap wall in the master bedroom.
Since our ceiling measured 156" by 104", we ran the planks parallel between the door and window (long ways), as opposed to perpendicular to the door. On each line we had a short board that was 60" and a long board that was 96". We alternated them, so every other board was a long board and a short board.
Since we were working on the ceiling, we decided to paint the board prior to putting them up. It was so much easier than reaching up with all that paint.
We used a Bostitch air compressor and nail gun and 1 and 3/8 inch 18 gauge nails to nail the plywood planks into the ceiling. It made for a very speedy job.
Between each row, we used a nickel for a spacer. This created just a small line between the planks to make them more visible, yet not allow any of the popcorn texture to show through.
I suggest having 10 nickels on hand. We just kept losing them!
After every few rows, we measured from the start of the planks to the current plank we were working on, to see if they came out evenly. This helped to ensure nothing was getting too far off. On our shiplap wall we used a level, but we couldn't do that when working on the ceiling.
To go around the light fixture, we cut a four inch square for the wires to fit through.
When we reached the last row, on other side of the room with the planks, we had to cut them thinner to make them fit.
Wouldn't it be great if we lived in a perfect world where ceilings were perfectly divisible by six, and no modifications would be needed to squeeze the last planks in? Unfortunately, that isn't what we found.

You& Hubby sure work well together and did a wonderful job sweetie... can't wait to see the boys room when finished---
I like the overall positivity of all of the comments. I hope you can receive this comment as just good positive constructive criticism. Shiplap is cheap so no need to use plywood you just create extra work for yourself. Also, it's really not a "nickel gap" it's more like a skinny 1/4 inch in reality. Great work though and you achieved a good look in the end!
Was lovely to see you both working together now he’s home. Xx
I love how relaxed this video seems, it feels like you were just talking us through it like you would to a friend 😊
lizzyw that is a great compliment! That’s what I hope the videos feel like but I’m never sure if I sound too formal. 🤗
Definitely want multiple shiplap walls when my husband and I buy our home, so this is so nice to see how simple it can be!
Aww. Little Micah's sweet smile. Love plank flooring, walls, and ceilings. Think Nantucket.
Love that you're taking us through the boy's room update. Great way to avoid disturbing the asbestos 👍. Maybe you could introduce your hubby when you hit 100k subscribers?
mickyunit....you are assuming what she says about asbestos being in that ceiling IS TRUE & those beads you see in the ceiling are just more of the "mud" (actual drywall) they use. It comes in buckets, and the drywall in the buckets looks & is the texture of mixed cement (not the same product). They put the wet "mud" in a spray machine & spray it on the ceiling...the "mud" comes out of the machine in the pellet form! IF the ceiling IS asbestos then many, many people in the US have asbestos in their homes! Which I doubt!!! THIS IS HOW RUMORS GET STARTED & SHE HAS NO REASON (OTHER THAN NOT LIKING THE CEILING) TO MAKE THAT STATEMENT! Better question: has she had it tested to know? I know she has not because she would NOT be covering it up, she would be having to remove it! Your chances of finding asbestos in that "old" house IS MAYBE & I emphasize.....MAYBE....in the old, old insulation (if there is any) in the walls/attic or....MAYBE...in some type of fire retardant, such as around the chimney, SOMETIMES they used to wrap sheets of asbestos around things that would set other things on fire if they came in contact! Just wanting you to know...not meant as a lesson!!! : - ) have a great day!!!! Happy 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Judie
We actually did do some testing in our home and found asBestos. Professional eradication is very expensive.
hitchhiker homes built before 1970 typically had asbestos in building material. My previous home built in 1993 had popcorn ceiling but was asbestos free. I believe she said, at one point, that her house was an old house.
Yes our house is almost 100 years old
hitchhiker an old house is almost guaranteed to have asbestos in it. My 1976 house has it.
LoVe your hair Lisa AND the things you’ve done in this room so far. Also, thank you for including sweet Micah!! Everything - adorable 💕
Jennie Cochran thank you!
Oh my goodness, Lisa! This is so great. We spent a small fortune having a special haz-mat kind of company come out and remove all of our popcorn ceilings from our 1960s house! It was expensive, and then had to pay for all new drywall texturing, paint, etc. But I felt better having it all removed! I think your solution is genius, though, and you and your hubby work so well together! XO
It isn't ... puncturing a substance containing asbestos makes it airborne (exactly what you want to avoid) would have been better to use liquid nails or abate it like you did.
Thanks for sharing ! 💖💖💖💖I need to do this to all the bedroom ceilings in mine. Love how you worked the piece for the light fixture
What a difference in the room's appearance! Thanks for sharing the process. :)
I am so glad to see this video I have been looking for months on how I could do this thank you.
Thank you! We have some rooms with ecoustical tile ceilings & this would be a great solution.
Wow she is stunning. She's got those melt your heart eyes😍
I wish I lived with creative people like you guys who could see my vision of a better room instead of just a waste of money.
I think this is wonderful. What you might not know if there was lead paint under the popcorn ceiling. What a caring parents.
Ceiling looks so good. Great job as always!!
I’ve always wanted to do this to our bedroom. It’s the only one left in the house with popcorn. Going to show this video to my super handy cousin and do this!!!! So excited!!!
I love your hair cut! It looks amazing Lisa. I've always wanted to do that to my bedroom ceiling. I don't have popcorn ceilings but I have always wanted to do that. That looks so so great!
Susan Velez thank you so much! 🤗🤗😊
I love this! We have popcorn ceilings in 4 out of the 6 rooms on our main level (the upstairs where the bedrooms are, is completely flat ceilings) and we have been talking about ship lapping the ceilings because the popcorn is just so darn ugly. Thankfully we can borrow a nail gun so its just the cost of the wood to worry about. I love how yours turned out and now I'm excited to do mine! TY for this video! I can't wait to see how the rest of the room turns out.
kridder1018 can’t wait to share more when it all finally comes together!🤗
Your hair looks great. The ceiling is fabulous. Looks as though you & your husband work very well together. Such a great idea.
Veggie Bowls thank you!
Fabulous video❣️ Thanks to both you and your hubby for doing this.. You’re very inspiring and strong! So awesome he was able to quit his job! I just found y’all and absolutely love your energy, channel and simple farmhouse style. I see a future on HGTV for y’all! 🙌🏼 So very deserving! 😇😇
Delicate Damsel thank you so much!! We are have fun with it all. ☺️
looks nice but important to remember that if you nail randomly without locating studs, you could accidentally hit electrical wiring in your ceiling, the brad nails will eventually pull back out causing the asbestos to break loose and come down in your children's room when the planks sag. If there is a fire, the wooden planks will also be more likely to drop quickly from the ceiling creating another risk.
Wow! I have not seen this before. What a great idea! It looks lovely.
Love the ceiling! And your haircut! Wow...just beautiful😊 Baby so adorable!
Becky thank you!
Looks gorgeous, thanks for the useful info. BTW, love your new hair cut!

Mandy BEWKES thank you!
Ok, had to pause the video to say: holy smokes momma! Your hair looks amazing and you look radiant! Ok ok... now back to video!
Awww hey! 💁💁💁Thanks so much!!
i'm thinking about the ceiling in my bathroom but I feel the same way don't want to scrap that old popcorn ceiling down and in the corner I noticed it got a drop in the ceiling so I would have to deal with that scared to open a can of worms there nice video!
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
Oh, and love the ceiling!!! Lol
Such a good idea! Who wants to scrap a popcorn ceiling?
Right!
I love that idea!!
Great video Lisa !!! Thanks hunny ♥️
You guys are amazing! Great haircut!
Thank you so much!
Such a treat! Thanks!
Your hair is adorable!!!
Vintage Glitter thank you!
It looks fantastic!
Micah is adorable!!
Very nice. And what a beautiful child!
You didn’t have to mark the joists and get the nails in them? I would be afraid of it all coming down one day. Brads into Sheetrock doesn’t seem solid to me.
Tyfs...love it so far
Looks great!
Would it make more sense to put up some sort of barrier behind the plywood so they once the paint and asbestos starts to deteriorate you don't get dust and stuff falling through the gaps? Would 3ml or 5 ml clear plastic be a good idea?
Love ,Love this. Tfs
Farmhouse...I should have read further myself, because there was a joint compound problem before 1980...& if that tape compound is disturbed it can cause asbestos problems. Your ceilings could very well have been done before 1980. There are many other things in older homes (mine too) including, shingles on roofs, floor tiles, pipes bringing us drinking water and on and on and on! I apologize to you and others because I am also wrong, of which I am grateful to you for making me aware! Being the "over reactor" that I am, it looks to me that most homes should be torn down & start over! WOW! What innocent consumers we are!!!! After reading one article all the way through I now know my home is as full of asbestos as yours and a lot of others. I have ceiling tiles in two rooms, I have two layers of roofing that are very, very old, old water supply pipes, old insulation, I don't have an old furnace, but do have two old stove pipe chimneys & probably lots more I haven't even thought of! Great! What is a person supposed to do? Die happily because we are informed? I'm like you, I don't have the money to do anything about it!!!! I apologize again....you are not wrong....I am...work done after 1980 is "probably" not filled with asbestos! Very sincerely Judie Anyone that wants to say...I TOLD YOU SO...can, I'm here!!!!
Love love LOVE!
I really like this!!
Little man is sooo big awe
Hey girl hey! Let me ask you... how would you deal with or what would you do if you had a corner? like we have quite a few cut in areas and corners in our master bathroom and I really want to do this to our ceiling but I can’t picture how it would flow if we end having to cut the wood to go around or work with the corners.
It’s coming together so nicely!! Wahoo! Love your haircut! It looks so natural on you. And I totally agree with the other commentors you should do a couples video where you sit down with your hubby and have a chat! ❤️
Emily McClain I’m totally going to have to make him do that. He’ll love it 😆🤣☺️
so this was just nailed up to the drywall? Not into studs? How is it holding up? Has it fallen off the ceiling yet?
same question here
They're using plywood which nails into drywall fine if you angle the nails. For "real" shiplap, you'd need to find the joists in the ceiling to nail in
Your hair looks amazing
Rachel Pitts thank you!
You make me want to shiplap my whole house. 😂
Jeeze , this is a Utube about a hair cut? I was looking for the answer to what you nailed into, studs? And how it held up. Thanks, looks great, the ceiling.
Yeah, I wouldn’t do the project this way.. if you’re not going to take the time to chalk mark where your joists are and just shoot nails blindly into the ceiling you should be using some adhesive as well, such as liquid nails or pl400. If someone was to insist on nails only, then at the very least they should be shot angled opposite each other into the drywall. Also, this doesn’t need two people to accomplish, just get some 2x4s and make yourself a dead man to hold up the other end and move it along with you lol
Did you add crown molding after you were all done for a finished look?
LISA, AWESOME CEILING TUTORIAL.......CHRISTINA
LOVE!!
LOVE THIS!!! Can you tell me what paint color is on the walls?
Thanks for sharing
I am watching while typing but did you use corrugated fasteners? I am trying to get hubby to do this in my kitchen. The home was built in 1998 and not one thing is square! It was quantity over quality!!! Thank you so much!!
The only time you need to be concerned about asbestos is when it is in a friable condition. Any asbestos that _may_ be in your popcorn ceiling is likely encapsulated in multiple coats of paint and pretty harmless. The plank effect does look better than the popcorn, though.
Rich Sobocinski there is a ton of paint over it, so that’s good to know!
I'm with everyone else and I love your hair!
Love this video! We've done a couple of walls like this! We always cut our own though and it is time-consuming. I love the idea of having it done at the hardware store. Did they charge you anything for that? Thank you for sharing
!!
Courtney Strahler thank you so much! They charge $.25 per cut but I do think it is totally worth it!
@@FarmhouseonBoone8
Just came across you video. What a great idea. 3 years later have you had any trouble with the nails coming out of the ceiling since they are just going into drywall?
Cute haircut 💇
Jackie Dalton thank you!
Popcorn was for sound damping and insulation. Plus it was supper easy to spray it and cover all the plywood or sheetrock seems and nails. Painting requires alot of work to finish sheet rock smooth and sanding etc etc $$$. Faster to get the home finished as well. Guy can come and have the ceilings sprayed in no time. Painted ceilings as people will find have a echo and are alot louder than popcorn rooms with carpet. You'll here every lil noise in those rooms now. But hey they do look better.
I'm curious about the way you were nailing the boards. Is there lap and plaster underneath the ceiling? What did the nails go into? Thanks. My living room ceilings are a mess. You can see all of the taped seems and I think this would be a good alternative.
Was your ceiling the older style sheetrock or the newer drywall? How has it held up as far as the brad nails holding up the plywood and not working free?
good question. hope there's a reply. I was wondering the same since I'm getting ready to install on my ceiling also.
This may be a silly question but I am going to ask. When you nailed the pieces were you nailing into the rafters or just in the drywall? Also did you use any adhesive or just the nails?
Love your hair! !
Thank you!
Just realized that ship lap is the new 1970’s wood paneling.
6:41 what did you end up doing with the smoke alarm?
Banana Cream Pie we put it back up over the Shiplap. Sorry I forgot to include that!
Is it important to put nails into the ceiling framing studs? Were you worried about accidentally hitting an electrical wire, duct work, or something? I definitely want to do this.....just want to make sure I am thinking it all through.
Krisanne Key we didn’t worry about any of that, but I don’t want to say for sure in case I’m wrong. We also did this to the wall in our master and had no issues.
Did you locate the ceiling joists to make sure you were nailing into something more than just drywall? I totally need to do this to my whole house because I have asbestos popcorn ceilings. What other materials could I use for a farmhouse look that would be super lightweight? Love your ideas and home!!
@@FarmhouseonBoone You didn't worry about any of that, but you should have.
@@KrisanneKey We just did bead board planks on our kitchen ceiling and we measured for joists to nail into. If not it will eventually start sagging. We have textured ceilings, done with a toilet plunger for the design. The house was built in "71".We shiplapped (tung & Groove)the walls; same thing with nailing into the wall joists. Onto the next room. Good luck with yours.
Did you nail the sliplap into studs? Or did you nail it right into the drywall?
When you say you painted the board prior to putting it up, did you paint it before or after it was cut into 6 inch strips? Thank You!
She had it cut where she originally bought it from so she couldn’t of painted it before
Cute haircut! :) What paint color is that in the boys room? I can't find it on your blog. Is it Gray Owl like the living and dining room?
So do you have low ceiling? I have low ceiling and would love to do this but don’t know if it would look good.
Awesome project, but I would be scared of the nails failing over time and wood boards falling because you didn't nail them into studs. But thank you for the video, I think this is exactly what we need to do in our room on a textured ceiling. Can you see the popcorn through the nickel gaps?
I'm wondering the same about not nailing into studs; I have old sheetrock and I'm thinking over time with contraction that the nails may work free. I'm thinking of applying liquid nail adhesive with the brads.
Nice not to use a ladder or step stool. More tedious with a ladder. Do you think furring strips would have helped with the uneven boards? They seem not to line up in spots in some of your ceiling. We are getting ready to do this soon and have a very old house. My husband is a perfectionist type tradesman and he thought using the furring strips would help even the job out. but it adds quite a bit of time to the job. Do you think the unevenness adds to the look? Just curious what you think after it is done.
Janette Lavender I think the unevenness kind of does add to it because i think its supposed to look like you removed the drywall and lo and behold there’s the Shiplap used to put the house together. 🤣🤣we have real Shiplap in our boys closets that was just there and it’s kind of uneven. I don’t think it would look bad if you use the furring strips though! This project might drive a perfectionist crazy 😬😬😬
Do you think it would help avoid sagging to use some liquid nails on the back of the planks?
We didn't notice any sagging. We put in nails every couple of inches, so the wood is held up really well :)
I want to do this over our plaster ceilings in our old farmhouse, but my husband is concerned about fire code. Was that an issue for you? Or is it ok because the drywall is underneath? Or in my case because there would be plaster underneath?
Hmm I have no idea actually. I didn't even think about it..
Great idea to cover the popcorn ceiling. How much did it cost to have plywood cut into strips?
Grubby4894 25 cents per cut.
Design Question:
Our master had a drop ceiling so we ripped it out, now we are left with lots of stud and to dry wall it. But we REALLY hate dry walling and would hate paying someone to do it even more. All of our walls are being "shiplapped" Would it look odd to have 4 walls shiplapped PLUS a planked ceiling? LOVE everything you do so would be grateful for your advice!
You could paint all the shiplap white and then stain the ceiling to break it up a bit, or even paint it gray or black. Another option would be bead board. I also don't think it would look terrible with all white shiplap! :)
You are the best! Thank you so much!! Perhaps having the ceiling framed with large trim would help too!
Thank you again! :)
Can you nail the boards straight to the ceiling or do you have fix them to the joists
🍃♥️🍃 Looks amazing ‼️
Nice.
