Description of Jeroen

Our bedroom had a wooden cove with spotlights with a classic look. The classic look no longer matched the rest of the interior of our recently renovated bedroom, so we decided to give the cove a sleek finish. Using 3 mm wooden MDF panels sawn by TOSIZE.ie, I gave this surround a sleek look. I had 3 mm MDF panels cut to size, primed them myself and painted them in white. Then I attached the panels to the wooden cove with mounting adhesive. Then I sealed everything and painted it once more.

How I made this project

By first painting the MDF panels and then attaching them to the wooden cove with mounting adhesive. To ensure that the MDF panels do not shift, I hammered small nails into the bottom of the MDF panels. The panels rest on the nails and cannot sag in this way. Finally, I sealed everything and painted it once more for a super-smooth finish. I used paintable adhesive and water-based paint. This way I could paint the entire border once more after assembly and because of the water-based paint we do not suffer from a turpentine smell in our bedroom.
