It's crazy to me that a ceiling full of popcorn can be reduced to a small garbage sack.
"Bye bye popcorn. Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
This one was a doozy!
I got a wild hair the first day of Christmas break.
I wanted to take a nap in my room over the break and not have to see our horrible ceiling.
I didn't want to have to imagine what pictures could be made out of the random popcorn shapes.

Yes. I used to do that. It was like looking at clouds or something.
I'm pretty sure I saw a lamb up there. Oh and an angel.
I asked Bill to get the ginormous ladder out for me and told him what I was going to do.
He said, "What? Because we need that added stress right now?"
I said, "Oh, because you could feel the added stress last Monday when I painted the garden room?"
Bill said, "You painted the garden room?"
Me, "Yes. Could you feel the stress all the way over in Dallas?"
No - he could not and he won't for the popcorn either.
:)
All this while we were sitting in the newly painted garden room.
There was a day - bless his heart - that my projects did add stress to his life.
But that isn't the case anymore thanks to this blog.
Change is a weekly thing and he doesn't even really notice it anymore.
I have been rejuvenated in my popcorn removal because I'm not painting the ceiling at the same time.
This saves time and stress.
You know what?
The ceiling looks fine after a few touch ups.
It turns out that the original ceiling color is the same color as the outside trim paint.
There were a few places where the mud fell off with the popcorn and nail heads were exposed.
I had to putz a little paint on those but it looks fantastic.

I couldn't wait to see my free chandelier without the popcorn ceiling. It will be wonderful being able to get photos of the room and not have to avoid the popcorn.
The laundry room is done too since there was no school for two weeks.
I'm glad I put off the master until I had more practice.
It wasn't nearly as hard to do as I thought it would be.
Look one more time at the difference between what it looks like with popcorn and with it removed. It looks so dirty.
Thanks for stopping by. You know how much I appreciate your visits.
