I have been talking about planking the ceilings....all of them. We have vaulted ceilings and a lot of space to be covered.
After taking into consideration the magnitude that would be this process (mainly Mr. TSL's face when I talk about redoing all the ceilings and my mom telling me just to get over them and stop looking at them) I have decided to just deal with them.
Seriously with 4 kids and the giant ass mess scraping them would cause, what was I thinking. I have better things to do with me time, like read other people's blogs about how they scraped theirs and looking at planked ceilings on Pinterest!
I have researched a few alternatives.
Paint it white, then it looks clean and fresh and gets rid of the little shadows caused by years of cobwebs :)

Paint the whole room including the ceiling the same color.

I know this is a stretch, but I really like this....paint it darker. It's bold and kind of sexy :)

If I could travel back in time I would travel back to meet the asshole who invented popcorn ceilings and tell him it was literally the stupidest idea anyone has ever had... like on a scale of 1 to 10, it's at a Donner party taking a "short cut" through the mountains level of bad decision-making.
ReplyDeleteJess,
DeleteI could not have over dramatized that better myself. I was whining to my mom about them and said the thought of them consumes my soul....she said I was just being dramatic :)
