Here in case you weren't around 6 months ago to see how this ceiling thing all started let me remind you , this is what I had your regular run of the mill popcorn , hated the world through but probably being applied as I type.
I have been able to finish off the ceiling and even found the perfect trim for finishing off the job, there of course will be small gaps around the edges before the trim went up , as well as fixing that little construction issue it dresses it up to have this detailed trim finish it off . 
I have got to tell you if you love this look and have 8 or 9 foot ceilings this is a job worth considering , it took some time but look what I have gotten , I went from popcorn to beadboard , amazing , I almost never thought of this , sure glad I did , once it is painted this weekend I will show you all its glory .
What did it require , scraping off the popcorn , adding this beam , marking out the beams in the ceiling , then nailing the boards up after priming them twice, counter sinking the nails, filling the nail holes , trimming out the edges, and now to wipe off excess filler and paint , so ok its a lot of work but done a little at a time it is well worth doing .
See gaps around the edges. No big deal add beautiful trim.

Your ceiling looks amazing. I can just imagine all the work that went into it, but just think, yours is unique and was probably a lot cheaper than most people would have spent if they had paid someone to do it. Looks amazing.!!
You did an awesome job! It looks like it was always there.

You are very talented- and determined! It looks lovely.
Hard work pays off because the ceiling looks great! It's good that you taught other people how to do it too.
Looks fabulous! You are amazing. Can't wait to see the final ( will it be shiny??)
It will be semi gloss which is plenty shiny .
Hi Chris,
Wow! The ceiling looks fantastic. I just think beadboard is so fun!
We have it on our kitche walls.
Great idea's!

To my delight you have done an amazing job! We have the same awful cottage cheese ceilings and my husband said it was tricky to remove them (likely because he does not want to undertake the job) But myself, thinking that if you can do it then I can as well, want to ask you how hard it is..Your home is so lovely and the ceilings just wrap the whole room in a cozy cottage confection! Love your blog and I also have a daughter with severe peanut allergies. Kindest Oh if you could reply to kjm1337@aol.com with just a few lines about the popcorn/cottage cheese I would appreciate.
wow!!!
The ceiling looks so awesome! I would love to do that to our popcorn ceiling! I'll have to show this to my husband.
Love it!! Can you come down to San Diego and do some work here!! LOL!!
You are a inspiration to all of us DIYs.
This is absolutely amazing...love every bit of it!
Absolutely LOVE the way it looks. I want it in EVERY room in my house now! :-)

LOVELY! I'm planning to do ours at some point...we have 8 foot popcorn ceilings right now and I hate them. Can I ask why you had to add the beam? We have a beam right now already. I'm just amazed at how you did this yourself!
