We began putting Liquid Nails on the ceiling and then we tried holding the beadboard up to the ceiling all while hubby used his nail gun to secure it to the ceiling studs. Well, let me tell ya...that was like a I Love Lucy scene...pretty comical! The nails were not holding it and we couldn't hold the beadboard up very long. UGH!
So my hubby told me this was a bad idea. I told him other people had beadboard on their ceilings so obviously it was doable. He then put on his thinking cap and decided to go back to Lowe's to buy 2x4's to create T-stands to hold up the beadboard and some finish nails. It was a lot of work, but oh so worth it!!! We LOVE our beadboard ceiling! Added so much interest & charm to our bedroom.
Thanks hubby for doing this for me! I knew it would be GREAT! Come back soon to see pics of the whole bedroom makeover....it's looking FABULOUS!

Hi, I am wanting to put bead board on my ceiling and I was wondering how you got the panels to blend so they didn't look as if there were four separate sheets on the ceiling? Does that make sense?
Please tell me what TRIM you used between the angled ceiling and the flat part.
It looks BEAUTIFUL! I want it!!!
Hi! I was wondering if you can do this on top of popcorn or do you have to scrape it? Looks great by the way!! :)
Over time, did the paneling warp or bend and start looking..... well cheap? I want to do the same type of project, but some people have advised against the paneling and said to go with tongue and groove strips instead for a sturdier look.
Hi Bruce R Bartlett,
No, the beadboard looks as good today as it did when it was completed. In fact we just now put beadboard on the bathroom ceiling as well. As you can see from the blog post we secured it with liquid nail & finishing nails into the studs. We did have to use the 2x4 T frame's to hold it all up once it was liquid nailed, and then finished nailed it, leaving the T frames overnight. Never any problems and we love it!!!
P.S. Use the liquid nail that sticks to anything not the one for paneling.
I am in the midst of doing this...I as in my husband and I! What did you use to cover the nails up?
