Japanese Homeowner Transforms Kitchen Ceiling with DIY Plastering Project

A Japanese homeowner, known online as saya_no_ie, recently shared a detailed video of her impressive do-it-yourself kitchen ceiling renovation. The project aimed to modernize an older home by replacing a busy, patterned ceiling and outdated fluorescent lighting with a smooth, plaster-like finish and a contemporary fixture. The renovation began with thorough preparation, including cleaning the existing ceiling and applying a primer. The homeowner then applied a special plaster-style paint, noting its creamy texture made it easy to work with. A key challenge was effectively covering the intricate patterns of the original ceiling, which required a second coat to achieve a seamless, unified look. After allowing the paint to dry, a new, stylish light fixture was installed, completing the transformation. While acknowledging that the finish might not be as flawless as a professional's, the homeowner expressed great satisfaction with the result, highlighting the unified aesthetic and the successful shift to a beloved plaster-style design. This project is part of a larger initiative to transform a 32-year-old house into a Nordic-Japanese (japandi) style new home.
