Pine Boards Ceiling Treatment

Hi friends! A few weeks ago, when the coronavirus started getting more serious, we decided to grab a few items for projects that we’ve put on the back burner for a while just in case we were both stuck at home for a period of time. Fortunately at this point in time I am the only one at home and we are able to keep our small business open. But since we had everything on hand for a project I’ve been wanting to do for a while, we decided to do it this last week! Doing this project actually helped both Matt and I take our minds off of life for some of Sunday. Owning a small business has been hard and stressful during the last month or so. On top of that, homeschooling, new schedules, etc. has kind of taken a toll on us. So this was the perfect time to clear our minds and focus on this project!

We put up pine boards in the trey ceiling! It warms up the space so much! And adds a ton of character.

This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a long time now. I think half the battle is just getting all the supplies you need for a project.

I had a color of wood in my mind but couldn’t find any stain to match it. I ended up mixing 3 different colors to get this stain color. It turned out exactly how I pictured it in my mind! I ended up using a combination of Varathane Early American Classic Wood Interior Stain,  Varathane Provincial Classic Wood Interior Stain,  & Varathane Dark Walnut Classic Interior Wood Stain.

We used a quarter in-between each board so we’d have the same spacing throughout and used a nail gun to attach the pine boards to our runners going across our ceiling.

Matt did all the measuring and mathematics for this project. We were a tiny bit nervous that we wouldn’t get 12 even boards into the space but Matt’s mathematics proved correct! Never doubted him. 😉

This project was under $100.

Isn’t it amazing how wood totally warms up a space?

Thanks so much for stopping by!
