We added a room to the house using part of the garage and part of the laundry room but when it came time to do the ceiling, there where too many uneven parts and it was hard to cover with texture so we decided to use beadboard (tongue and groove pine panels from Home Depot).

To level the floor, we had to make like a deck framing under the plywood.

After making the walls and moving the washer and dryer to a different location, we put the doors and proceeded to put sheetrock.


And then to cover all the imperfections from the ceiling, we decided to put beadboard. We did put texture on the walls first but I don't have pictures of that.

The first two pieces were the toughest but after that, it becomes easier.

It took two days to do it all.

Then came the stain which I did myself with a sponge and hubby and his friend put the trim around the edges.

All done. I love how it looks. Now, all we needed was the carpet which they installed the following weekend.


Here it is all done.

    Would it not be easier to stain boards BEFORE NAILING to the ceiling?

    Looks great, we're doing beadboard on master bath ceiling (& water proofing it)

    Why in materials did you mention pressure gun, listing refers you to power washer guns????

    Pneumatic as to use with finishing nails would be my choice

    Is there wood framing under the plywood on the floor? I see you said make like deck framing under it I just don’t see it.


    Also you do realize that’s not beadboard correct? Beadboard is normally 4’x8’ panels and has 4” & 1/4” strips cut into it and it comes painted white. You are using pine shiplap

    looks great!

  • Looks really good but I wouldn't refer to this as beadboard, it has much thinner lines and is often sold in sheets. This is considered tongue and groove pine boards. This is just a tip so viewers know what to ask for when they shop for this product.
