While a lot of kids these days may not even know what a record is our kids are probably think they are the latest and greatest technology because most of the music we listen to in our house is in vinyl form. Between the 1955 Wurlitzer jukebox in our living room {which is the site of our daily family dance parties} and the 1980’s Fisher Price record player in Beckett’s “big boy” room {which was mine as a kid}, in our house – records rule.

I had a great time searching through this vinyl, and I found some great new additions to our jukebox collection, but at an average price of $2 each, we just could afford to stock up on the 100+ records we need for the ceiling.
The store owner agreed that, since we were going to buy such a large quantity, we could have them for a mere $.25 each! BINGO! So we dug through the piles and filled up a box of sleeveless vinyl with bright, colorful.

I think this would look awesome in a game room!

I have thought about doing this in my husband's office since he works on music and has slanted ceilings and fun nooks where this would look groovy. Never knew how though. Thanks for the tutorial. Gotta show this to the hubs now. 🙂

Ooh, this looks pretty awesome! Love it!
Valerie Earnest says
I love how you did this! The room is awesome and when you're ready for a change your walls won't be damaged!
Kim Hilbert says
This looked like a lot of fun doing, from the shopping, arranging and putting them up!

3M hanging supplies are SO convenient….especially if you're renting. This is such a fun project and it turned out great!

Love what you did here! (Those hanging strips are the best – I use them all the time!)

This room is amazing! and the way you did it without damaging the wall is genius!

I started to do this, but I have a cement wall and nothing will stick, I'm renting and have over 100 large vinyl records to hang, any suggestions? I also tried the fishing line technique, it is extremely hard and time consuming threading and knotting! Help!

I am thinking of doing this on brick. I am thinking black 1×2 wood slats verticlly on the wall and Velcro to that.

Do you know if you can still play the records if you take them off the wall? It does the command strip or tape leave something sticky?
Angela, Blue i Style says
Command Strips come off of walls and other surfaces cleanly without leaving any kind of sticky residue at all, and in my tests they came off of the records very cleanly as well. I haven't tried yet to remove one and play the record, but I expect it would still play with no problem at all!
Melissa says
Hi..we are doing this going down to our basement,,,did you get a deal on the command strips?? I feel they are pricier than the records. THANKS!!!!!
blueistyle says
The Command Strips are pricey (the best deal is to buy them in the big packages), but compared to the cost of repairing the ceiling when we want to take the records down someday I realized it would still be a big cost savings.
