For context, it's paintable wallpaper. See? http://www.grahambrown.com/us/product/12011/Small%20Squares/5?show=
I know, I know, "just say no, Andrea." Sigh. These are the times I really, really miss my mom. In my old house in the 'hood, where we lived when D was little, she and I wallpapered D's nursery, and my dining room. By which I mean to say, obviously, she did all the hard parts that took skill and I followed orders and did the grunt work. It looked really nice (though it's really bothering me that I can't remember if the wallpaper in the dining room was above or below the chair rail, goddamnit.) I'm a lot more skeptical of decent results trying to do it by myself.
Maybe I need to go hang out in Home Depot today in a hoodie that's unzipped enough to show some boob. My future contractor second ex-husband ain't gonna find himself. I should probably do my hair and put some makeup on if I'ma do that, though! This staying home from work and painting thing hasn't exactly led to what one would call good grooming. By any means.

You should just say no. There's a reason it's not called "celingpaper".
Not only would you be fighting the laws of language when you try to glue it to your ceiling, you'll also be fighting the laws of physics, especially with the added weight of the paint. Might not work so well.
On the other hand, I vaguely recall in the past seeing similar looking textured thin plastic panels something like that intended for ceilings, to imitate the old school pressed tin ceilings. Maybe you should try looking around for those? Cause, no matter how much cleavage you show, it won't make up for having huge swaths of paper glued to your face. Even future contractor ex-husbands occasionally look above the bra.
"Even future contractor ex-husbands occasionally look above the bra."
Says you. Besides, I'm old and tired. Wallpaper over my face is probably a good look for me.
But, *anyway*, if you had actually clicked on the link, you would have seen that it says you can use it on the ceiling. There's even a picture thereof somewhere on there. God.
I saw an episode of HammerHeads or something like that on HGTV where they put textured paintable wallpaper on the ceiling on some Tudor style living room. It looked like a pain in the ass. Definitely not a DIY project.
Though I'm all for finding a second contractor future ex husband. Go knock yourself out.
That's what I was afraid of.
I did put on a hoodie and some makeup today, but instead of Home Depot, I went to the Stop and Shop. There were *no* men there that looked like they knew how to do anything to a ceiling. Goddamn useless slackers. :-)
