THINGS ARE LOOKING UP. PRETTY NEW CEILING TREATMENT, CORNICES & CROWN
by Debbie (IC: homeowner)

View materials (9)
A few years ago a bought a real fixer. Over the years I totally gutted it and
opened up the living room,dining room and kitchen. It was nice but opening up
the space left the 8 ft ceiling looking boring. Structurally I couldn’t raise
the ceiling. But I still wanted to add some interest to the ceiling and better
define the spaces.
Once I decided the size, I nailed strips of wood on the ceiling against the side
walls to make it easier to keep frames straight and centered.
After cutting all the pieces of the frames I laid them down on the floor to make
sure they all aligned
TRENDING VIDEOS
I actually glued the end pieces of the frames together before I attached to the
ceiling. I could have just made rectangular frames, that would have been so much
easier, but thought it would look too boxy
I attached my first long piece with nails and glue and butted it up against the
wood strips that I had previously nailed to the ceiling. Then I just continued
to attach the rest of the frame. I would suggest that you plan to finish
attaching the frame before the glue has much time to dry in case you have to
adjust when you get to the last piece.
Even though I nailed molding to the ceiling, the nails don’t hold that well. So
I used 1 x 2s to prop it up and hold in place as the glue was drying. I waited
over night to make sure the glue was dry.
Finished Living room framed ceiling treatment
Finished ceiling frame in the dining room
I also added cornices to windows out of 1 x 8”s
About $75 for the 3 cornices.
I had 5” recessed lights installed by an electrician in the corners of the
living room frame that are 4” from the inside edge moulding. This cost was not
included. Recessed Lights are available at Home Depot or Amazon
I added a Fetco Medallion from Amazon to cover the outlet for a ceiling fan that
I didn’t want. It was $80 Lastly I added the crown moulding for the crowning
glory. Lowe’s has contractors bundles of crown. I needed 2 bundles $200.
I painted the ceiling the same color as the walls except for the inside of the
frames remained white to help set off all the trim work.
Finished project. I love it. Can’t believe what a difference it made. If you
click on my profile you will see my other projects. The Swan picture was
purchased at a discount art gallery in Naples Florida that is now closed. It is
not signed by an artist and there is nothing to identify it.

Wonderful talent as to interior decorator. Your creativity is impressive. I
see the original post was from 2018. Are you still loving the ceiling? My
only question/concern is if you ever decided to change the room arrangement
you are rather locked in. And along that same thought process, if after
gluing the trim to the ceiling, it will be a bear to remove. I would imagine
you will have major ceiling repairs or the need to replace entire ceiling.
Just curious.

Very nice. Great idea to brace while glue cures. Me? I see disaster getting
braces up to be effective, so I’d hire out. Thanks for sharing a very nice
inspiration
