I’m not usually a fan of crown molding, but this is so clean and simple. Looks great! Thanks for sharing.
I bought an old farmhouse built in 1939; I been thinking about something similar to this but held out from wall a little ways to house indirect lighting. I'm glad I found your channel.
That looks awesome and I love the shades! I am so impressed with your DIY skills 😊
My jaw just literally dropped! You are one awesome lady! I am going to do that for my living room, dining room and kitchen! I love it. Thank you!
What a blessing to come across your video. I have been wanting crown moldings for a long time but in a large home it gets costly. But what you did has sparked the aha moment of the year. Thank you. God bless! Subscribed and look forward to your inspiring videos.
That mades me so happy! Thank you for saying so.
That molding is brilliant! A little more of a simple and contemporary alternative to crown. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Oh my gosh! I LOVE this! I am refreshing my home and really wanted to put up some crown molding. Great idea…thank you for sharing this!💕😀
Omg! The molding looks so AMAZING! You did a fantastic job! It looks so clean and elegant! I think I'm going to do the same to my basement. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks so much! 😊
Good idea and a great alternative from having to deal with crown molding mitre cuts.
So glad I came across your video. I did this in my home office with a blue/green wall color and kept the trim white. Looks so awesome, a mini trace ceiling look and feel. Thank you for sharing!!
Wonderful! I'm so glad it worked out for you.
girlllll yes!!! i am moving soon and I can not wait to do this!!! so classy
This is beautiful! Found this video last night, doing this in a bathroom today!
Great job. It looks like it’s always been there, and a lot like the original crown molding here in my 1863 apartment in Paris!
Great alternative to traditional crown molding! Love it!
Can’t wait to see your finished dining room love the molding
Nice work, Megan! You are fun to watch and I appreciate all of your tips and tricks. THANK YOU! Plus your baby is darling. I just watched your Annie Sloan DIY dress makeover. So cute!
Thank you 🙏🏻 😭 so sweet
Wow this is awesome!! I love this look!! I love how you do it yourself! My wonderful sweet fiance was a carpenter and coukd whip up anything I gave him a picture if or created in my mind unfortunately I lost him to cancer in may so now I'm on my own doing my own fixer uppers...i need easy affordable ideas n this one hit it out if the park!! Thank you !
I freaking love that... I have crown mounding and ready to pull it down!!! Haha....never did the upstairs tho this a great alternative so that I can do it... I want the same look around my windows too - just so finished , clean and simple
THANKS!!
This is an amazing idea! Great job, and this gives a modern look.
Thank you! 😊
I love this ❤️. So simple and clean😊
What I like most about this is that it can easily be changed down the road without ripping anything out. With just that and then some of the cheapest, white crown moulding, it would look like a million bucks without too much money or effort.
So true! 🙌🏻
It looks amazing Megan!!! You definitely have me thinking about my dining room now. lol
Looks terrific, you did a great job!
Buying a tiny lake house and this is perfect. Thank you and great job! 👏🏻
Megan, this is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
this trim just changed the game for me i have 1X3 's i'm going to get bigger trim thank you i have a gap from my ceiling to my old crown molding this is the video i been looking for. so i have to get more boards i love farmhouse i'm doing shiplap too already done 2 rooms new subbie for sure
Glad I could help 💛
Excited to see the dining makeover!
Excited to get started! Picking furniture and paint colors currently!
I put up quite a bit of crown, but I like this better!! The chunky look of the wood is more casual & better in line with the Farmhouse look...
It looks super amazing!!!!!
I love this! You made it look so simple and definitely motivated me. I've been wanting to do some trim work on my ceiling but didn't want it to be so expensive. I love the clean and modern feel yours has.
Thank you, Marie!
Very nice, great Idea exactly what I was looking to do in my kitchen.
Super cute idea. I'm going to do this in the bedrooms
You did a very GOOD JOB!!
Wow! That makes a serious impact!
High 5 girl! LOVE!
I am INSPIRED!!!! Love this.
Hey! been trying to find a way to crown mold but I dont have the tools to do those angles the regular mold needs. Thank you so much for posting! this is so easy, modern and nice! Very helpful video!
I actually prefer this to crown moulding. Good job!
I really like it. Great job !
I really think that's great. Thanks for the idea.
Looks awesome!!
We just ripped some hideous crown molding out of the dining room. It was gapping and installed like crap, glad it's gone lol. We are going to redo the drywall and this looks like an awesome idea to replace crown molding. This is also not our "forever home" we want it to look nice, but not invest and arm and a leg in every small detail. Thanks for sharing!!
I feel the same about our home, so I think this is a great solution! Good luck!
I'm renovating a 1929 home in a period farmhouse style. I'm doing beadboard paneling but I have 9' ceilings, and I need to take up 12" of wall between baseboard and crown molding.
This will be perfect. Thank you.
Panned over that corner quick, but all in all, very good video and job explaining.
Oops! thank you though
First time on this channel. Enjoyed the vid. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed!
Been trying to figure out how to do that, thanks so much. Beautiful job.
Happy to help!
I love this look!
Me too!
Those little tubes of caulking are so handy for fixing spots that get missed too. My mom's house from the 40's has this more simple type of molding but then with a simple crown molding and I have always loved it. It's also way easier to clean. Can't wait to see how everything looks!
I’ve done exactly this with a small bead molding in the corner also and that adds A TON too without trying to match up wide crown in corners that are never perfect angles etc. hope that helps someone!
Love it!
Wow amazing 👍
Good idea I’m going to do this
So creative my humans gotta this creation. Hard work but besutiful
Great idea for sloped walls where crown moulding won't work. Thank you!
Holy cow!! That looked fairly easy to do, and it looks amazing! Wish my house didn't have those yucky popcorn ceilings :(
Resheet ceiling with 1/8” drywall and re finish
Or dampen it and start scraping it off. Did my dining room and it looks great. Just make sure to wear proper mask and eye protection.
Looks very good thanks!
Glad you like it!
Awesomeness!!
Great. Watched it ten times,
Like it, great idea to modern farmhouse style. Actually, I want to do my house as farmhouse finished
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!
Omg those eyes!!!😍🥰
Awesome! Ty!
Looks great!! You are just so full of ideas!!! And you make it look so easy!☺️☺️
Key word: Easy
And made it look, meaning obviously it's not. Jajaja. Ma bad "bro".
Nice job...pretty good looking covers...ive seen your design in europe hotels, that interest me...they actually have a larger covers on it. Very interesting...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the info!
Inspirational
I always paint prior to installation but that looks great!
Thanks 👍
How can this really be less expensive? It looks Amazing!
Wow. I know I'm late to the party but immediately subscribed.
THATS THE BOMB!!!!
thank you!! 💛
I love it. I think it would work well with many home styles...from craftsman to modern / minimalist. Great job, as always:)
Yes! Thank you!
Awesome
By not doing butt joints and doing 45' degree cuts for all your corners in and out plus seams gives a more finished look... less chalk and less filler.
You are right, it is very simple...
I agree. It's the only thing I would change if doing this myself but either way it looks great
I always use my saw on the floor, too!
Right on! It makes it easier when cutting long items, rather than setting up saw horses. I'm kind of a lazy DIYer sometimes! LOL!
Niceeeee Work......
Great idea for not crown molding
awesome work! what size nails did you use for boards on the wall? brad nails 3” long?
Would have really liked to see what this looks like more zoomed out. Full dining room shot would have been awesome!
I just did this to my brand new tongue & groove pine ceiling. I used 1x3 primed boards against the wall and 2 inch boards for the ceiling.
I'm not so worried about nail holes - its the "seams" that look bad. Anytime I've caulked, I did a horrible job. Is this the specific caulking you recommend? Can you please walk me thru the steps of caulking so I don't ruin a great ceiling?
Your job looks wonderful!
I love your style!!! What color is your dining room area? I would really like mine that color as well. Beautiful!
Thank you! It’s Benjamin Moore’s Naval.
Oh Megan what are you doing with those chairs -I need them!
Gorgeous!! I can't believe you did that by yourself. I mean alone! Without nagging husband asking "do you really want to do this?" Every 2 hours.
Looks beautiful. Wondering how you would do an outside corner, where 2 walls meet.
Good question! You should definitely miter your corners (cut them at a 45 degree angle)
I did the same but mitered my ends turned wout amazingly
Awesome! So glad to hear it!
Using Megan's design for our project. How do you know "WHERE" to nail in the ceiling boards? Anyone have a sure-fire way to locate ceiling joists? Our stud-finder does great finding wall studs, so we're good on the vertical (wall) board. But trouble finding where to nail/screw up horizontal (ceiling) boards due to our 1/ Popcorn ceiling 2/ PVC ceiling tiles-- both are throwing off the stud finder. P.S. We're using T10 Finishing Screws-- will these hold a 7-ft. board on the ceiling if just screwed into drywall?
I think I would have painted it before installing. But it looks great
I don't have a nail gun. What type screws would you recommend to install this wood molding onto drywall? Thanks.
What sand paper grit did you use to sand the excess wood filler? Also I had watched your video a couple weeks before starting this project, I have all the boards already up and realized now that I did not put two sets of nails in like top and bottom side by side ( I had to use smaller boards and am using a brad nailer which prefers the path of least resistance I’ve learned so I try to stay away from the edges. I hope one nail every so often across the board is going to be ok in the long run 😅 this has been quite the experience for me with these tools I had never used before haha 😅😂 I’m just hoping the caulking is going to truly make mine look as good as yours do in the end 🤞🤞🤞
Great Work Megan my dear 💯🆒
The Clock ? Where can i get one 😆 .
Thank you .
Looks really nice. Did you mitre the corners? It was hard to tell.
No, I did not, Gail! Thank you!
Where did you get your curtains from in the dinning room
what nails are u using are they into wood or drywall
Looks good, simple and effective. Hope you’ve changed the blade in that chop saw, it’s dull as it’s burning the sides of the wood.
I did! Thanks!
classic
I like this. When you nailed the boards to the ceiling, did you nail them in to any studs/joists. Will they stay up there if I just randomly nail them into the ceiling, if that makes sense. TFS
You definitely want to hit the joists when you do this.
How tall are your ceilings? Also what did you do for the baseboards?
Did you just nail willy-nilly or did you find the studs?! I hope you used a stud finder to locate them before nailing...and maybe just didn't show it?! Anyway, regardless, this is stunning. And a huge cost saver. I just bought a house that just finished construction and they did not do crown molding so I was going to install some first thing. We get our keys next week after closing and I happened to find this video. I'll be installing this instead. Literally saves me hundreds of dollars, if not a thousand or more. Thank you!!
I love the dining room curtains and rods. Where did you get them?
ikea!
Nice
Thank you! 💛
Oh what size nails for your nail gun I got everything but nails I have some but don’t know what size is best
I prefer 1 1/2! 💛
Looks like this would "upgrade" with some quarter round trim in the middle and on the edges?
That an idea for sure!
What size wood pieces
