My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How do I acheive this effect on a pine ceiling?

13 years ago
We have just finished the roofing in our 3,000+ sq.ft. home and this is exactly the color I'd like to have on the ceilings. Is it relatively easy? Can it be done easily with one coat?

    This is a multi steps process to achieve an aged gray. From the colors you can tell that it is more than one coat involved.

    Maybe not.. BEHR makes a semi-transparent stain in a color very similar to this.
    We put it on our cedar deck. You can see the wood grain clearly-- it just made it look so finished.
    It is gorgeous!
