I guess MSN saw your blog, because they just posted this article on their homepage. http://realestate.msn.com/Improve/Green/Article2.aspx?cp-documentid=6086636&GT1=10932

Ahh, the joy of popcorn ceilings. Most of the time it was used because it covers flaws in ceilings (like when the builders were too lazy to make ceilings perfectly flat). Then lots of people started using it. I hate it, it’s just gross.

I feel your pain, my husband and I just closed on our first house last week and I have been up to my elbows in paint, pulling baseboards off, removing old crappy appliances, etc. for the last week. Luckily we have workers coming in starting tomorrow to tackle the big stuff. The effort will definitely be worth it in the end.

I read your page frequetly (found you from BRAT), but this post made me comment. I have the worlds worst popcorn ceiling. Picture this not only does is have that crap on it but then someone took a trowel and made nice 12″ rainbows ALL over the ceiling in various patterns(80′s thing I guess), then they smoothed out the ceiling at the edge so it has a tacky border too. Anyways, husband wont let me removed it “CAUSE you dont know how hard it will be”. I am gonna show him your pics!
ps love ABE….my favorite B quote – Are basenjis intelligent? Yes, but not in the way you might first think. If basenjis were high school students, they would not be the brainiacs who score high enough on their SATs to go to Harvard on a full scholarship. No, basenjis would be the hoodlums with the smarts to bypass security, break into the principal’s office, steal a copy of the test, and sell it for cigarette money.” ~ Robin

Congrats on getting rid of that popcorn. That stuff is horrible. My house is so old that I have nice plain ceilings.

You’re my hero for tackling the popcorn ceiling in your bathroom. Do you have it elsewhere? Are you going to attack it, too?

I totally want to do that at my house, but now I’m scared!

Toddler Tunic is another one for my list of must-have patterns–great job! The boys are just too damn cute and I love how shiny they look while sleeping. Good shot!

Great post! I love the way Aleah models for the camera and comments on everyone’s shoes. Adorable.

That’s a lot of snow, but not like that time in Bel-Square: now THAT was snow!

Love those sleek, glossy coats! Must be the goose down diet!

Aleah’s a cutie, and the tunic is adorable!

Wow, what is that popcorn stuff? Is it a southern thing? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it around here. Oh wait – I have seen it before, but it was in motels. Is it for soundproofing or something?

I admire your ambition!
