Decorating the guest room
  • I'm not sure what to do with it.  It's been used for the storage the last couple years and we're getting ready to redo it.  We'll be ripping out the broken wood paneling and putting drywall up.  The carpet needs replaced, as well.  But after that, I have no idea what to do with it.  It's pretty small and the ceilings are really low...
  • Would love to see your project.   Anyway to post some pics? 
     
    Keep the new paint light... Accessorize using the colors you love.  You have a clean slate to work with so have some fun!
  • if it is just the 4X8  sheet type of paneling,  you can just drywall over it.
     
    mark the wall studs on the ceiling with pencil,  then use a plumb bob to
    use as a guide to putting the screws in the drywall.
     
    if you never mudded drywall.  use a few light coats instead of thick coats
    will save your arms sanding the joints.   And keep using wider troughs
    as you fill in the joints.    I saw one guy us a 3ft. piece of metal stud to
    do the joints on a ceilling.    They use flat paint on ceilings for a reason.  LOL
