Faux Fur Ceiling

We proudly share the pièce de résistance of our guest bedroom, the faux fur ceiling! With so much French going on, we must be doing something right, right? And now, the blinding white, poly-blend splendor:

The idea came from a stunning Mid-Century estate sale we went to over two years ago. This couple had money, (presumably) no children, and high-style in the decades that mattered. Their decor hit the mark so dead on, they never needed to update and god love them for that. Their hi-fi audio paradise in the basement had walls of finest imitation Yeti hide and left us speechless. That is, until we turned to each other and boisterously proclaimed, “WE HAVE TO DO THIS.” Jinx!

Eric did some measuring and ordered the plushest, whitest faux fur available on the internet. A giant box soon arrived then sat around collecting dust. Seemed like kind of a luxury project when the chimney was leaking (and it still is HA HA HA), etc. We gushed about the project to friends. We gushed to each other about how perfectly matched we were, because who else in their right mind would be into this? Soul mate magic as illustrated in questionable (fantastic) decor choices.

As good stewards of our future selves, we sought an easily-reversible method of attaching the fur. We would glue it to panels and nail them to the ceiling. Yes, that was it. Like I’ve said before, we didn’t want to be like those impractical fools on Trading Spaces who hot glued twigs all over kids’ rooms or lacquered denim to walls.

But then we we said eff it. Glue it straight to the ceiling. Less money, less labor, same Yeti glory. Five cans of 3M Hi-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive (be our sponsor?) and a couple hours later, we had a room worthy of our fine guests. We promise to vacuum regularly and hope you enjoy your one-of-kind accommodations.

Sleep tight!
