A couple of rooms in my house had woodchip paper on the ceiling ( with a couple of layers of paint on ). I screwed thin plywood over it and papered over it. It saved a lot of time and effort.
I’d’ve said that was 1970/80s decor rather than 50s when it would’ve been all dark, free-standing furniture .... and picture rail not dado .... it’s what we used to hang pictures and heavy mirrors from, rather than putting holes in the walls, as they would’ve been expensive to repair - hence the really long fixing nails - the idea was, it made the ceilings look higher. Personally, I’d’ve kept them as they’re an original, architectural feature and people are now putting them back in. I would also have been very tempted to get a plasterer in to skim coat the ceiling (they’re not horrendously expensive, particularly for a small room) it’s made a huge difference to all my ceilings. And, sorry, if that all sounds a tad negative as I’m impressed with what you’ve done - love that blind too😊
Oh yes probably more like 70s! The house is 1950s! I would always try to keep original or characterful features but this one just wasn’t to our taste, and don’t think was original! 😁 Definitely will be getting a plasterer in next time, was just trying to get this room done as quickly and cheaply as possible, it might all change again when we have the rest of the house renovated! 😁 No of course, thank you watching and for the comment! 💛

I like this approach and will probably do this in the future! Just hide the mistakes and move on 😂

I really like the colors that you chose
Thank you! I was torn between so many colours but so happy with the blue!
