Ceiling Madness and Mayhem

You may remember how much I HATE popcorn ceilings.
(If not, check out an old blog post here)

Well for the last three weeks, our house has been a disaster zone... and it is sooo worth it because the popcorn ceilings are gone!!!!

Here are a few gross "before" pictures before the contractors got their hands on it. (Ewww!)

Master Bath:











Living Room: (we had to move all the furniture to the center of the rooms)




Kitchen: (we removed the outdated light with help from Father-in-law (FIL))

 And then here is the in-process we have had to deal with for three weeks:

Master bath and bed

Here's the vaulted entryway:

And here are a couple photos of the smooth-as-satin ceilings!!!
(When I first saw them, I may have made some sort of noise resembling "Eeeeeeee!")





















 The downsides?
- Well, the cost of course. But with the vaulted ceilings and the sheer volume of popcorn there was no way I was getting it done myself.
- We were migrants inside our own house for a bit there, but our own guest bed isn't so bad.
- Drywall dust EVERYWHERE. The crew we had did a great job of covering things up, but the dust snuck under the plastic and tarps.

All in all? Totally, completely, and utterly WORTH IT!!!!

I can't wait to get some paint on the walls, the furniture moved back, and everything a thorough wipe-down!
